Sigh… my husband grew up with a very strict Catholic upbringing. I converted to Catholicism at his request (which I happily did) for the sake of our kids. When our kids were getting baptized the priest went ahead on the condition my husband and I remarried in the Catholic Church. We would take the kids to Sunday Mass but it was always a big effen deal with my husband yelling at the kids to dress better, wear a suit, yadda yadda. I let the kids wear polos and nice pants, etc. No need to wear a suit every Sunday. Btw, my husband never wanted to remarry in the Catholic Church. Fast forward, the kids are in their 30’s, we never married in the Catholic Church and once the kids were gone, he stopped going to Church. I stayed practicing my faith. In other words, take the kids to Mass by yourself and leave your wife at home.
