He's been in jail, but such an amazing guy?

About 3 weeks ago I met a great guy, after a week he told me that he's been in jail for breaching a restraining order (his ex wife got the restraining order and he breached it cause he wanted to see his kids).

I told my best friend about this cause I was unsure if I should continue a relationship with him .. She was so against it and told me to stay away from him. I ignored her advice and kept seeing him, now I'm really falling for him and I don't know what to do. If my best friend knows about it, she will tell my family and I couldn't take it of they hate him. I wanted to lie to her and tell her it's not the jail guy, but she knows his name. What do I do? Or what's a good lie?

    As I was reading this, I was just wondering "why does he have a restraining order"

    And so there are a few HUGE red flags here.

    At first, you might think "oh, his ex wife is just crazy" but then look at the facts.

    She has custody of her children. That means the court specifically found her to not be crazy and found him to be unfit to be around his children.

    Then, he probably kept trying to see his kids anyways, which is natural I guess, but it was bad enough that she got a restraining order. Then he ignored that too.

    So, at the very least, this guy has no respect for boundaries. He has no respect for the law. He will have no respect for YOUR boundaries, and I think if you stay with him, he is going to drag you into some illegal stuff too, that is, if he doesn't beat you.

    I don't know the whole situation, but it is pretty obvious that no matter how "perfect" you think he is, you are being dillusional, blinded by your infatuation, and you are setting yourself up for danger and disaster.
