Have you ever recognized another person with ASPD?

I don’t feel my boyfriend is a scum bag now. On our second date I asked him his last name and I think he knew I was going to look him up so he told me that he was an ex-con. He used to rob people for money as he was addicted to crack, heroin, etc. He told me that he never considered if what he was doing was actually right or wrong at the time.

He also let me know that prison was the best thing that has ever happened to him and goes to AA twice a week. If anyone were to see or talk to him, no one would suspect that he had a past like this.

It took a lot of back and forth for me to decide if I should proceed with dating him after the second date, but I gave it a chance and I’m glad I did.
