:angry: okay, this morning one of my family members stops by my work and shows me this newspaper clipping about this guy who just got out of prison and killed his daughter and her friend because she left the house while she was grounded. I'm sure you've read this or heard about it. Anyway, he tells me that this guy had a mild violent background just like my hunny and that if I don't stop talking to him then this kind of thing is going to happen to me. Can you believe that? I said, this guy doesn't have a "mild" track record, the guy got pissed and chased his neighbors with a chain saw until someone hit him in the back of the head with a shovel to knock him out. THAT'S NOT MILD" My hunny isn't anything like that.
So, my question is... how many of you are scared that this kind of thing could happen and how do you even talk to your hunny about it?:confused:

well my man is in for violent acts..and he used to have a horrible temper when he was on drugs...he was never violent towards me and i was and have never been scared of him but i was scared of what he might do to someone else... :( ...he has changed a lot and even about a year before he went in that he got off drugs he calmed down a lot...he still gets in trouble a lot for fighting (even though not to jinx it but hes been trouble free for a few months now so im proud of him) and stuff but hey hes in prison i hope when he gets out he'll have gotten it all out of his system.

I am not one bit worried about my husband doing anything remotely close to that. He is not a violent person, just incarcerated for a violent charge...I wouldn't worry too much about it...if you know your man well enough, and you believe in your heart that he would never do things like that, then don't worry.....
Good luck to you!

Some people are just ignorant and no matter how much you try to convince them they will still be guided by the media.

Just ignore it....if you know your man then that is ALL that matters!!!!!!

You know what you have to take ppl like that with a grain of salt. Those are the ppl who puts others in certain categories. My husband is in for agg robbery but that is only cuz he had a gun in his hand .. he never pointed it at anyone. I do not fear that my husband would ever do something like that cuz he has never been violent towards me at all.

there is nothing mild about that man temper and i am pretty sure that you would not be with soneone who had a violent temper. You wht you are doing.

Same here ewife03 armed robbery had a gun but never pointed it at anyone. Also though he had anger issues but he has done so well and I was never scared of him. I wouldn't worry about it, your family is just worried and they do have the right to worry but nit judge, I am sure once they meet him and fet to know him it all should be fine

I'm not worried at all about anything like that happening. I know that my baby would never hurt me.

What they should be more worried about is the lovely parole board here in Texas let him out but will keep others in that are a good risk for parole. Makes for better media that way. There are plenty of others that have never been in prison that are more violent then a lot of those locked up. Tell your family member you appreciate their concern but that you can't judge every inmate by the acts of another. Every person is different, incarcerated or not.

Mine has a violent charge...but he would never do anything to harm me! That is what happens when you are on drugs and you are young.....something bad happens....and then you go to prison....I am not scared of him at all!! Not everyone in prison are bad people...but you have to be in a situation like this to understand that!
