[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 591374, member: 9175"] Nancy, Even though I'm working on detachment, I'm one step ahead of you on the court records online! He has a couple of speeding tickets, that's it. (by the way, I even check out guys I date ...wht the heck, you can't be too careful). If' I'd turned up any criminal records, domestic violanece ... anything like that, I would have told her and STRONGLY advised she rethink. I did speak to her calmly today about how she had presented the situation and that, every time she is deceptive, she causes damage. I told her I was not going to interfere with her choices - as long as those choices did not affect me or my household. I explained that I love her and dearly wish I could protect her, but I simply cannot prevent her for making her own decisions. I did not share my reservations about this inane and utterly nonsensical move (but I will with you, of course) and I told her, simply, that I would refrain from sharing my opinon unless she asked. I met him tonight and he was pleasant enough. He completely fits the profile of her chosen guys: Tall, doughy, terrible posture, very little eye contact, facial hair and tattoos. I honestly couldn't pick some of them out from the others in a line up. He helped her clear out her room and they are going over there to set up house. She does have her own room with a lock .. for whatever that is worth. At least she can shut the door to get away. She's used to a lot of space. I don't love this situation, but once I asked her to leave, I had to let go of the outcome. She had other options, and this is what she chose. I know it's not going to be pleasant ... that, I can live with. I only pray it will be safe and that it will not lead to further reckless choices. Dash [/QUOTE]
