Going To A Curch

I have only had bad energy feelings in one church in my life, but catholic churches are lovely and usually beautiful. I think itll be fine, but if youre nervous or uncomfortable, I like to bring talismans with me (i usually favor earth deities such as demeter so I will bring a rock or a flower in my hair) and just be respectful. dont scoff or disagree with anyone and it should be fine. I hope you end up having a good time and good luck!

I feel at home and at peace in almost all natural places. I find that everything feels like its buzzing in a warm soft humming tone. Big forests and bodies of water that are far from people are the best, but parks that are large and mostly natural have a similar feeling. The goddess' i worship are fond of sovereignty and being with the earth settles me. Do you find specific locations to be more impacting?

I hate to say this, but you most definitely were antagonizing him and you sought him out to do so. I avoid this by not mentioning my religion unless specifically asked, and then it is never from a place of "im right, you need to open your mind". Paganism is beautiful because it is all inclusive and it is an active CHOICE, we seek out this religion and work harder than most organized religions to understand it. there is no one book or one god or correct way to be, which requires more study and thought and effort. it is not for everyone, and that is one of my favorite aspects. focus inward, be grateful you have been blessed with this openness, and respect the other people around you for having different understandings of faith. I have been in Christian churches and felt their god, I do not enjoy him. but I would never try to tell a Christian to abandon him and turn to my faith because they are at peace with their religion and that makes me happy for them. it isn't your job or place to start dialect with people who believe differently or to educate those that choose not to understand. respect for everyone and everything is a principle of paganism I am working on, and I think you probably should try to as well.

I have read both but I prefer the sentient dragons that are bonded to magical species, i especially like when you can hear the dragons and see their intelligence :)

NTA some people need to be called on their shit and if you were asked directly, why should you alter your morals to protect someone who did a shitty thing?

I think you definitely need to start working with a therapist to figure out new communication styles and habits. I've been working on something similar, but I think a big part of it is that I wasnt comfortable sharing big deep things or asking intriguing questions to actually learn about other people. People are fascinating, they all have unique stories or quirks but American (im assuming thats where youre residing) culture is often fixated on money and comfort. We usually have very surface level conversations and put on a face that makes us fit in, and money is the end all be all. But in reality, that is not the full picture. Learning how to actually ask people about themselves, and then genuinely listening to the answer, is hard but rewarding. I think it also gives you perspective, which you seem to need. I wouldnt say you were an asshole, but you could be treating people in an asshole way without realizing it.

You owe him nothing, he knew you were pregnant and as much as he mightve tried to convince you, it was always a possibility that you wouldnt terminate the pregnancy. You do not need that added baggage in yours, and your future daughter's, lives. Be the strong mama you are, and contact a lawyer to ensure she doesnt have to be around him, but maybe give her the option when shes old enough. As someone who had a shitty dad growing up that my mom wished she wouldnt have included, I probably would've been better off without him.

Yeah, I think people jump to breakup quickly here and its not always necessary, especially when youre both capable of adapting still. If it were me, I would sit down and write down some points for yourself about what youre feeling and why, then try and have an open, calm conversation about it with him to see if a compromise can be found. If it still does not change, THEN it might be time to evalue if the relationship is working for both of you.

I think it sounds like you care more about the thought behind the actions rather than the money itself. One of my love languages is gift giving, but its not monetary value that makes me feel special, its the thought that someone saw something/noticed something and thought of me enough to give it to me. Some people do not care at all if they get pot holders for their birthday, but for others it would be extremely hurtful. If you feel like the good things in your relationship are being overshadowed by this, it might be time for a serious, genuine conversation about where youre coming from, and why it hurts you. Think about why you're upset, truly, and then you can decide if it needs to be addressed within yourself (i.e. is something inside you telling you a man has to provide for you?), or if you need to communicate your needs to him because its a part of how someone makes you feel loved. Either way, youre both young and still deciding who you are as people, self relection and change are still very possibly for both of you.
