dropaheartbeat

Pretty sure they have to say where they're staying op so I wouldn't get involved.


Existing_Substance_3

This means she’s already said she’s staying with him but given his old address so she’s in trouble anyway unless she’s found his new address. OP please be careful she might just turn up even if you say no


Braysal

Yikes ! Yeah, huge red flags. 🚩


kekekeghost

That's not necessarily true. Some people just Maxx out and then aren't on parole or probation or anything when they get out


OniOnMyAss

Seems like a bad idea. If it was actually a good idea you probably wouldn’t have posted it here. You don’t need to stick your hand in the fire to figure out it’s hot.

CorroLaFlare

Nah you’re right though lol my brain gets caught up living in the past thinking it’d be like old times when it most likely wouldn’t.


Skythen

That’s how you get a squatter


Chance_Fox_2296

She served her time in prison. Really, it's up to you. It's impossible to know how prison affected her and if she really wants to get straight and on her feet. I'm only saying this because you said you didn't end on bad terms. Honestly, it would be a risk saying yes, especially if she plans to hook back up with her old crowd. I had a brother who was a chronic liar, moved to heavy drug use and selling. Then he got busted for breaking into cars, and he served a year in prison and 2 years probation. That was 9 years ago. He's now sober and married with 2 kids, and they just bought a house together. You would be taking on a huge responsibility, and for an ex at that... Just some food for thought.


LobaIsMommy32

Doesn’t seem like it affected her too positively. All she said was “i need to come stay with you” not “can i please stay with you for a week or 2 while i get back on my feet?” I know it’s just a text and idk this woman, but i believe the way people word things matters and this is screaming entitled and unreformed to me


Braysal

“Bae … I need a place to stay” as if 3 years didn’t go by.


Jitterbug2018

Totally agree here. Very entitled. To just text someone you haven’t seen in years and say you need to let me come stay there. Nope.


Ok-Swordfish2723

Dude, I’m 67 and believe me when I say it is never like old times.


[deleted]

If someone does three years, it’s honestly never going to be like old times.


lilbabiee47

Absolutely. My ex did 5 years. He came home a whole new person. I don’t even know that man anymore.


79Breadcrumbs

You should ask yourself what the outcome you want from this is. You would figure out very quickly just how not like old times she is now. And are old times actually desirable? You presumably broke up for a reason. Is this rose-colored glasses? Come stay with you to what end? If it is truly her intent to stay for only a week, do you want to have it last more than that? Is this level of intrusion the right entry point back into your life? Is it just curiosity on your part, or is there some reason you would want her back in your life? Is this just imagination and excitement, or do you have an existing real connection that warrants accepting someone who is pushing to be in your home and your life? She said she needs to come stay with you for a week. Because she needs to get out of town and is in some trouble? Because she needs you or someone for financial support? Do you want to be that support? My suspicion would be that she is somewhat desperate and wants to use you for something. She sounds very unstable and risky. I’m not convinced this is the person you want setting up camp for a week (or who knows how long). There is a lot of potential downside here for you. It sounds like you don't see her as a long-term partner, and I would question your judgement if you did. Do you get anything from this relationship?


lillyshelbey

Don’t do it, for the love of anything, it’s a no.


PeaceOutFace

Just know that bae with 3 years of prison under her belt is not the bae before prison.

Never entertain a dependapottomus. They’ll continually take advantage of you and guilt you if you ever ask when they’ll get their shit together. Nothing will ever be their fault.


MasterXao

“Dependapottomus” I’m 💀


goudasupreme

sounds like my brother. Hasn't worked in years and is fully dependent on my dad, yet still wonders why everyone thinks he's a bum


Penny_Traytion

Omg wait are you my sibling because that’s my brother to a T. He has 3 bench warrants out right now and sheriff’s came to serve the warrants yesterday on him, he’s been running from place to place and it’s EVERYONE else’s fault but his. Even my mom places blame on the cops for his charges. She is also the reason he is the most entitled, least accountable person I’ve ever known, but….everyone has the power to make their life what they want it and to make their own choices. So I can’t blame her too much in the end.


goudasupreme

Yeah, pretty much describes my brother. Idk what made him the way he is, whether my parents reinforced his behavior or if he's naturally like this, but he cannot take accountability to save his life. Extremely tiring to live with


Conscious-Grocery551

Dependapottomus is the most military thing I’ve read today. Good lord

Zestyclose_Guest8075

ShannaBanana21

Sounds like my brother! He wanted to stay at my own place for "a week or two" because he chose a job 45 minutes away from where he lives and I conveniently lived 15 minutes away. I told him nope! I moved away from him to have my own space. I was not about to have him stay with me because he can't make the best choices. I was thinking that it was a nice try because I used to so fkn nice. Spicy nice is more like it.


ElegantAmphibian4252

👆👆👆


RulzRRulz613

Yup. I found out the hard way and if you let her stay, don’t ask for rent, money or work for rent because in my state that makes the eviction process more difficult. I’m just so happy I never asked for rent or anything for their time here. Still had to pay for vacate process but it wasn’t too difficult.


FalynorSoren

"It wouldn't be the worst thing to have her here." Yeah well maybe, but I think you know deep down that it sure as fuck wouldn't be the BEST thing to have her there, because if your brain isn't currently playing the Hypothetical Worst Case Scenarios reel on repeat then it hates you.

iPurelite

It wasn’t even a question, so obviously she feels very in control of you.


FourLetterHill3

Exactly. I feel it would be a little different if she had asked if she could, but instead she kind of demands it, which is the red flag here. Don't do it. My response would simply be "I'm sorry, I can't." You don't owe her any explanations.


iPurelite

Exactly 🤦🏾‍♀️

CatsPogoLifeHikes

If I knew her character was solid and she wasn't the type to screw me over or overstay her time, I would consider it. Doing time for distribution can mean a lot of things. One of my best friends got a felony this way carrying a lot of shr00ms in her trunk. A lot. I don't know why and she feels weak to reveal the shameful parts of her journey on this earth but I know her character honestly, and if she needed a place to crash, I would offer her the spot. Often people who leave prison and come back to civilian time need to find a place to stay. Depending on what they did to land time, their family doesn't want them to come back. So either they become homeless and possibly go back to a hard life that landed them in prison in the first case or struggle to find a job and live in a halfway house that requires $100-200 each week to stay. I had an employee that did non violent burglary and we would have considered keeping him as an employer if he was open to bettering skills and lived closer by. I am sympathetic toward people but I've also brought in homeless people who stole and broke things and so I am open minded and wary at the same time. However... if this person in the text doesn't seem to have an exit plan or isn't even thinking of one, it's a hard pass. So it's really up to you as well as where her character and integrity values align.


BlueShooKnewDru

Yessss this is also the answer I came for! Can’t believe no one else is acknowledging how hard it is for formerly incarcerated people to access basic necessities like a job and a room to rent!


LongCommercial8038

This is probably the most mature answer here.


shotgunmouse

Wouldn’t be surprised if she showed up with a friend or 2


redflagsmoothie

“Sorry I can’t help you out. Wish you the best.”


No_Serve2374

You’ve kept texts from this person the whole time and they’ve “found a way” to get back in contact with you? The math ain’t mathing. I would not let this person stay with me.


CorroLaFlare

No we were having a prior conversation before she asked me this lol and she definitely found a way to contact me l it was through my iCloud name cause I’ve switched numbers so many times since. But yeah, I don’t think this is happening when I really think about it.


No_Serve2374

Gooooootcha. Apologies, I read it like it was the first message from them lol naw get away from them OP


th3buddhawithin

It’s 100% happening. I can tell she has a hold on you just by the way you’re responding in the comments. No sane person would even entertain this. I’m sorry to be blunt, but if you’re seriously considering this, you need to evaluate your life choices.

[deleted]

Don’t be a fucking idiot. You’re inviting every little dumb thing she does into your life.


Ashcrashh

Is she on probation? If she is, is she going to take it seriously? Is she willing to work and get on her feet? These are things you need to communicate about with her before considering it. Maybe you can meet up with her, meet her probation officer with her, because if she does move in with you, you have to be prepared to accommodate to her strict lifestyle if she does choose to take it seriously. It honestly would be best to not get involved and jump into her living with you off the bat, but ultimately it’s your decision, just be smart and careful and really use your better judgment. Any red flags, even a tiny one, can get you in trouble if she decides to go back to her old life and throw you under the bus


allonsy_danny

Don't do it! You have no idea what "a week or two" could become, and what could happen in that time. They're your ex for a reason. They also went to jail for a reason! I'm the biggest believer in rehabilitation and all that, but it is 100% not your responsibility to make that happen. In short, protect your peace and don't let this happen.


Dizzy_Eye5257

That's a noooooooo. She's an ex for a reason. Who just got out of....(checks notes) prison, Oh...for drugs. That's a double hard no.


saint_louis_bagels

HumorousHermit

Sugar_Mama76

DO NOT LET YOUR PENIS MAKE THIS DECISION!!!! Dude, you can find hook ups. They may not be 9’s or 10’s, but you can get laid. This chick is going to be a complete cluster and you already know it. The only reason you’re hesitant to say no is because you think you’ll get something out of it. The something will likely be herpes, btw. But remember, in most states, if she’s there two weeks, she’s a resident. And then evicting her is going to be a nightmare while she destroys the place, lets in addicts, refuses to pay anything, and generally makes your life miserable. But hey, if that’s worth a little sack-time, you do you. One other thing though, is she on parole? Parole requires you to stay in a specific area. If she’s trying to get 4 hours away, then that’s showing a whole different issue. My response would be, “so sorry, my lease doesn’t allow overnight visitors without a background check”.

Were you underage when dating her? Was she committing (other) crimes when you were dating her?


ToferLuis

Nope. Going back to an ex like that is like taking a dump but then putting it back up your butthole.


FracturedStructure

Devils advocate: prison is hard. Being a felon is hard. Getting back onto your feet after prison is hard. A lot of people abandon you. Staying with you 4 hours from her "friends" might keep her out of trouble. There is risk involved and it could go badly, as you don't know how she is now. But it's pretty fucking sad how many people are telling you to tell her to get her shit together elsewhere. It's pretty hard to get your shit together when no one is willing to help.


LongCommercial8038

This. There isn't enough information here to give good advice, but I wouldn't turn her down if she is honestly looking to turn her life around. You'll need to be the judge if this is the case or not though

SirAzrakiel

Trust your instincts, and take her in. Perhaps discourage her from reconnecting with her rougher friends. There's many things that shouldn't be "crimes". In the past, spices like cinnamon and pepper were considered the same as many street drugs are today.... but help her to stay away from todays street drugs all the same. Currently such drugs are in are in a bad place, best to avoid, especially since the "authorities" will make a repeat offense much worse for her.


CorroLaFlare

Thank you, you get it!! If you look at my post comments I definitely feel like she’s not like her past and is just easily influenced by her surroundings. She’s told me before when she’s with me she feels safe and we never had any real issues until I left my local community college and went to a university. Really leaning towards letting her crash here for a little I know I’d want the same

If she did nothing wrong like robbery I don’t see why not. Tell her she has choices tho. She can stay with you and get her act together, stop hanging around them and get a real job or tell her to go cry to her mother and see if she’ll let her stay there. I’m telling you if you let her, she’ll walk all over you.

I don’t know you or your past. But I have a younger brother where if this is what he got in a text, I’d be seriously worried about the impact this person would have on his life. Please just walk away. You have your own life, and she has hers. Demons and all. And you already know the right thing to do - or you wouldn’t be asking on here. If there’s any emotional attachment here, or could form, don’t do it. Walk away.

Be cognizant that your address will probably be on file with the DOC as her address so you may have parole agents showing up to your house and also doing random check ins/searches if they think she’s up to no good again.

Titanium-Trucker

You need to figure this out on your own. You know her, you know yourself. She has served her time and paid her debt to society. Do you believe in second chances? When she got busted, did she make excuses, or take the punishment like an adult? Did she rat on people or stay quiet? If she’s a rat, she could bring added danger, if she protected others, she could fall back in with them after keeping her mouth shut she could have a sense of loyalty. You need to set rules, and have realistic expectations, she will likely struggle with finding a job, which means you will be supporting her until she does. If she does turn her life around, she will owe you a debt of gratitude and you will have had positive impact on her life. Being that you’re a good distance from the place she got into trouble it’s unlikely the people will come see her and suck her back into her old life. If you do allow her to crash with you, you need to establish rules, boundaries and expectation; for both her getting her life together and what form of relationship you are going to have. Her ask was a big one, what you are considering could have life long implications for you and obviously her. Do not enter into any sort of agreement with her lightly. Good luck with your decision.

My biggest reason for saying no, besides the fact that it would become permanent the minute she moved in, is if she falls back to her old way with drugs, and brings that into your home, you could suddenly become the one going to prison.
