Okay so,
I have been dating this guy for a while. Lately, I’ve been trying to picture what a future will look like with him, and I’m honestly just having one hell of a time. It’s not that I don’t like/accept him. Because I do. But I have a very traditional family. My best friend is supportive but will sometimes make comments like ‘i don’t understand how people can be in long term relationships with someone in prison’. At the same time, she says nothing but positive things about me and him. I’m not worried about her, she can talk all the shit she wants, but I know she’ll support my decisions. It’s my family that I worry about. They don’t even agree with dating apps, so I already know they would never approve of me dating a guy with face tattoos and a criminal record. I’m not ashamed of him. I talk about him all the time to my friends. But I’m scared of my family treating me or him differently if I tell them. My family means a lot to me and I want them to accept him. But I just know they won’t. I’ve even thought about waiting until he gets out and not telling them that he was in prison. But they’ll do their own research and they’ll find out. Plus, I want him to be able to speak freely about what he was up to for 8 years. I feel like I’m stuck in a rut. I don’t want to lose him, but I don’t want to lose my family either. I don’t know what to do or where to go from here.

My LO broke his damnnnn tablet today. He said it just stopped working and he turned it in to get fixed. He says it’ll only take a few days, but I’ve heard that it can take a few weeks… does anyone know a general time frame to get a tablet fixed?

Does anyone else have problems answering calls? I have AT&T and had no problem answering the very first couple calls. After 2 or 3, it stopped registering when I was pressing 5 to accept. I had money on the account and figured it was an issue with my phone. I got a 30 dollar android from Walmart and put straight talk on it. I didn’t have any problems answering calls with that phone. However, I’m really tired of carrying around 2 phones (and paying 2 phone bills) when one of the phones is simply just for answering when he calls. Did anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
