When I first posted here because my husband had been convicted of a sex crime, I was asking for advice just like you. Another wife of an SO sent me a PM. She said that her husband committed a misdemeanor sex crime while they were married. She told me that there is always more that you don't know about. She told me not to be surprised if my husband was also cheating on me regularly or seeing prostitutes. When I first read it, I thought that there was no way. Then I realized that I also used to think there was no way my husband would ever be covicted of any crime, let alone a sex crime. Just the thought of it made me sick. I threw up.
I did find out later that my husband had cheated on me many times, by his own admission. Doesn't make him a criminal, doesn't make him a good husband or citizen, either. I believe he has changed. Doesn't mean your boyfriend won't change either. But why take a chance? What don't you know?
Think about it: maybe his crime wasn't that serious, but did you honestly think he was the kind of person who would do whatever he did do? I bet you didn't, or you wouldn't have been with him in the first place!
You seem to have alot of concern and love for your boyfriend. But the honest truth is that he wasn't thinking about your best interest when he committed this crime, even if it's not that serious. Someone committing a crime and moving on with their life is one thing. Someone committing a crime while in a relationship with you is something totally different.
It is a tremendous strain to be married to an SO. Life is not going to be normal for you, ever, until and if the current SO laws are struck down. The worst part is going to be the enormous resentment you are going to feel toward him when somehow your life is affected because of it, and you realize that it is completely his fault. Not only that, but he was with you at the time, and he didn't care enough about your well-being to not do it. I couldn't imagine starting a marriage with that kind of baggage. Please think about it.
