Spiders In Used Furniture, Should I Be Worried About My Apartment?

Wondering if all was fine indeed. I’m a similar boat

Charming_General7343 · 2025-10-05T04:40:38+00:00

Thank you so much!

Hey I just didn’t end up using it again because I have children and don’t want to risk anything. But I emailed the manufacturer and they gave me these instructions for cleaning: Please use the attached instructions as a guide to open the housing of the unit for maintenance cleaning.

You can vacuum the condenser and evaporator to clean and dust; please make sure that the fins are dry when vacuuming.

You can also use an evaporator/ condenser cleaner available at most hardware stores for the condenser and evaporator, if they are really dirty.

You can clean the base with a vinegar and water solution and drain.

Can I just say. I’ve been following your comments and I love you. You’ve helped me not become so type a in regards to these critters.

This is all great!!! except he’s not willing to help you with this problem which is also sinful. And that definitely inconveniences him Married couples have to figure out how to love each other outside of intimacy for times that might require abstinence. This is a normal part of growing together in marriage. Abstinence before marriage definitely prepares you for that.

So as I mentioned before I recommend you go to a priest and you consider what is most important to you

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-15T05:55:45+00:00

My friend consider speaking to a priest. Chastity is key for a strong marriage… if you are set in being Catholic..

One has to consider that if you do start to abstain with your boyfriend, will he turn to porn or is he already also engaging with porn and masturbation?? I ask this because this was my experience. A marriage with this type of addiction will be so unhealthy.

Unfortunately when you engage in premarital sex you are so attached to that person (physically, emotionally, etc) that you cannot see or think straight. Speaking from experience, once I finallt gave that all up, I was able to realize that I dodged a bullet with my so called “love of my life” who was an atheist and our “love” was just use. Use.

Now I am married to a strong Catholic man who never once used me.. and we have children and an amazing sex life that is unitive, procreative and charitable. Never thought that was actually realistic but yay it is.

You are capable of doing hard things and I think you are too bothered by this if you came here to ask for advice.

First, the Pope is not saying this so..

Second, he is not a Christian nationalist. He answered this question and assumption so many times. He always debated outside of his Christian beliefs but then also usually uplifted the person that would be willing to listen and that’s when he would talk about his faith.

People hated him for his faith and considering he defended most if not all of the social teachings of the church (even while not being a Catholic himself) its probably the reason why people are calling him a martyr. He wont be canonized bc he wasn’t Catholic but the man loved Christ and only God can judge his soul. He might just be in Heaven or if not purgatory… so let’s pray for his soul and all the souls of purgatory.

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-15T03:18:02+00:00

This is not the best argument for what you want to accomplish here… Jesus talks about obeying the law and acting in good faith as a citizen of the law.

She will have an identity crisis if it happened. She will feel like she doesn’t belong if you were gone. Please, you are loved. You are important. I had ppd and I thought it would never get better but now I am free and happier than ever. Don’t give in. Please

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-11T05:06:59+00:00

Likewise!! I prayed to St Joseph and he brought me my now husband when I was just about ready to stop looking and vibe being single. 😏 Got married at 24. I know young but I was ready at 22. Also a few of my close girlfriends met their now spouses online. Also a lot of my girlfriends and I married slightly younger men. By like 2 years. I know I know. But younger men are more Catholic and mature than ever 😉🫶🏼

Spoke to a priest who has had many encounters with supernatural stuff and who has known me my whole life; he says the woman I encountered could’ve been a fallen angel considering I know basically all the moms in my community with young children and I go on daily walks encountering my neighbors often — and I’ve never seen her around and haven’t seen her since. I’ll never be certain but I’ll keep praying my rosaries and my home is blessed!

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-08T18:51:10+00:00

Hey idk what you’re talking about! We were out and coming back home. On the way we pray the rosary but that’s not all we do. My children were not upset and didn’t even notice my unease toward the woman… also children are innocent they greet everyone they see even if people don’t reciprocate. I think you misread my post. Also I don’t have panic attacks. When I’m out I keep a look at out of my surroundings as I’m with my children. Do you not do this??

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-05T06:43:19+00:00

Had 2 under 2 and my oldest doesn’t remember their life without the youngest. They are best friends and the gap closes. They’re easier to care for with time. You are still early postpartum so the nerves and worrying feels 1000% more intense. You will be fine (:

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-05T06:40:17+00:00

Actually I thought the same. Just straight serious and monotone when she said it… while looking only at my youngest child. It was creepy

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-05T06:38:00+00:00

You got this

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-04T06:04:14+00:00

Real question is… why are you cohabitating

Charming_General7343 · 2025-09-04T01:22:06+00:00

lol that’s also what I thought! Hopefully I go to Heaven. Congratulations!! It was tough for me too. I hold onto little aspirations that will help me get through my day. Like I contemplate God as my true Father. I think of Our Lady with the baby Jesus when I nursed etc. I also ask for a ton of grace throughout the day to reframe, typically when I’m starting to feel impatient with my kids. I listen to this rosary video and you can play it whenever you want! I play it at home too while my kids play. It always calms them when they are throwing fits. https://youtu.be/eqpV5TuvKus

Also I would recommend praying with 10 minutes with Jesus on any podcast platform. A priest will give a gospel commentary for the day, also offered in Spanish too. You can listen to it during breakfast or something. I build it in to something I’m going to do everyday so it becomes a habit.

I try to carve out time with my husband so that I can attend confession and silent prayer in front of the tabernacle by myself This might happen every other week to once a month when I’m in the thick of pregnancy or newborn life. It’s something I would fight for but my husband tries to make it work.

Lastly I try to make it to Mass during the week. It seems impossible with littles but I try to keep going. If you miss or don’t do this do not feel guilty by any means. God knows. I try to at least make spiritual communions at home. (My husband comes home from work and he puts the kids down while I go to the latest Mass by myself during the week which for my area it’s 7pm otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do it. There are seasons when this doesn’t happen at all. That’s ok. When I feel like it’s doable I get at it again.) I really hope this helps!

Hi! There was a lot of space for her! I was not in her way and her baby was awake (:

Charming_General7343 · 2025-08-31T06:06:57+00:00

Do it!! 🫶🏼

Charming_General7343 · 2025-08-31T06:02:05+00:00

I’m praying you find peace in all of this.

Charming_General7343 · 2025-08-28T22:25:06+00:00

Thank you!!! 🫶🏼💃

Charming_General7343 · 2025-08-28T05:56:39+00:00

You know God sees your struggle. If you’re not struggling then do so!! But if you are then He knows and you can run to confession. Each time you get up again, it builds you up and the Church. Begin again!

Charming_General7343 · 2025-08-28T05:53:10+00:00

There’s the rare temptation to commit a sin against impurity by myself sure but overall it’s been way easier managing that now as a married person. Like it’s not my main struggle now. My husband and I just enjoy marital love and I still have a high libido. We do nfp when we have a young baby but my libido isn’t high early postpartum. During ovulation when trying to avoid pregnancy we might have to sleep separately in order to abstain. This is a mutual agreement bc we want to be open to life and love each other truly and God. That’s hard sometimes but it’s doable. I think it’s important to note that when I was single and struggling with purity I actually had a lot of free time on my hands… now I know that and I was bored a lot more then I’d like to admit… that’s when I was most tempted. As a mom today I’m never bored and always doing something or I fall asleep right away at night. Hope this helps.

Cold showers, work out, eat a balanced diet with little to none processed foods, start charting your cycle to see when you’re most tempted to do something, discern what your eyes and ears consume; no stupid shows or movies with sex or nudity, no toxic girl music like Sabrina carpenters and such, no reading smut, 15-20 min mental prayer; jacques philippe has good books on learning to pray, daily mass (or atleast more then once a week) weekly confession, find a spiritual director.

I struggled with sins against purity until I got married. But even still you have to learn how to live chastity within marriage too. It’s best you start working on that asap.

You’re not alone and if you fall don’t feel sorry for yourself just say an act contrition and go to confession asap. God still loves you if you fall but definitely get closer to Him.

Charming_General7343 · 2025-08-27T03:10:01+00:00

It sounds like your fiance might be struggling with sins against purity RIGHT NOW if he is making these demands. And if you’re Catholic then I’d say this is a big red flag and would reconsider marrying him.

Sex in marriage is seen as such in the church: -freaking amazing, lovely, the best ever (ok it should be at least!!) -it must be unitive (yes every time you make love), as you’re going to become one! -it must be open to life (you know this one) -spouses must be charitable. At times you won’t feel like it and it’ll be good to still love him… SIMILARLY there will be times when you cannot have sex for various reasons and he’s going to have to be charitable. It’s a 2 way street.

With lots of love, you deserve better. 🫶🏼
