<human>: Okay, looking for some advice...
I just started dating this guy who I met on OKC and during our first in person meeting he told me that he spent time in prison. He was busted for pot when he was in his 20's. He was carrying a lot at the time so he was charged with possession with intent to distribute. 
I've never dated someone with such a past. 
I'm in my mid 30's so I'm not looking to just date around, but rather something more serious - believe me, if I had met this guy 10 years ago I wouldn't care at all but things are different now - I'm in a different mind set.
I guess my question is, with a record, what kind of jobs could he get? What is his professional future like? Anyone who does a background check on him is going to see that he spent some time at hotel de prison.
Right now he works as a chef at a really good fine dining place and it seems like that's something that he wants to continue doing. Will his past have any impact on his future in a business such as this?
Is there something I need to be aware of when it comes to his mental well being? I really like this guy and want to spend time with him but I want to make sure that I am being sensitive to whatever different needs, moods and feelings he might have.
It's been about 10 years since he's been out but I can't imagine that something like that would just go away from your conscious.
Any help and insight is supper appreciated.
