I met this man 3-4 months ago and we have developed a relationship to now where we are dating exclusively. I have 2 children age 6 and 8. He disclosed to me an issue that happened in 2016 and was arrested in 2019 for it and charged in 2020. It was a consenual relationship with a girl who would be turning of age 4 months after this started. He was 24 at the time she was 16. Long story short, he is now a Level 1 on the registry in his state and on the national registry. He will have to be on it for 10-15 years. Even though I had a similar situation when I was younger (I was 16 the man was 19) the age difference was only 3 years but for him it was 8 years.  As much as I like him I am unsure if this is something that I should continue to pursue. My children will never be allowed around him unless he petitions the court, if we stay together there will not be allowed other children over the house. He could not assist with pick ups or drop offs of my children for at least 5 years (thats the probation time). I feel like I am selfish to want to be with someone like that as my kids will never know the real truth about him and how to approach the situation if we ever lived together if the kids wanted friends over etc. I know that he deserves to be loved too in life all because he made one bad decision that now he will have to live with it for the rest of his life and will always be labeled and then that will also fall back onto me and I will be labeled as well. I just don't know what to do or how to feel.
