This doesn’t surprise me at all. He immediately came off as an angry man. I hope Erin goes home.

I want her to go home too. Michael has nothing to offer her and she had a great life at home- her Mom, her son, her business. I just can’t believe this guy is worth leaving all of that behind. 
 

I don’t want it to ever come off that people with a criminal past can’t change or are unworthy of love etc (which isn’t true, humans are humans) but before you pack up your life and leave all your loved ones behind, make sure the person has it together and is worth it! It would be a very different thing if Michael had been out for a while, they met socially and he told her about his past, and they decided to date.
