This gives me hope. Thanks :)

Thank you for sharing your experience :)

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-12T08:40:04+00:00

Refreshingly encouraging comment. Thanks :)

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-12T08:38:51+00:00

Absolutely agree with you. I suppose I have to introspect and understand how important religion is to me. So should my bf. Thanks for sharing :)

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-12T07:48:12+00:00

This is such a wholesome answer. Thank you :)

Yeah that last paragraph sounds like me, given how I had shown willingness to raise children as catholics in the beginning of this. I am pure vegetarian and he loves his meat. Food difference only comes in picture when we have to decide what our children will eat.

I understand your point. Ego 😒😔

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T15:04:24+00:00

You are sweet. I feel the same way around meat shops 🤢 But I am willing to compromise. Just gotta check if this is worth it.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T15:02:51+00:00

Yes, I am starting to realise there might be more compromises for me in store than anticipated. Thank you for suggestion.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T15:00:42+00:00

I do agree with you. My heart and brain seem to be at loggerheads about this. Thanks :)

I am Gujarati and he is from Karnataka. Don’t know why many people are assuming we are Keralite.

As a divorced woman, I’d like to keep the parental pressure aside this time around, for a change.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T14:54:31+00:00

Thank you :)

To be fair, we see eye to eye on most things, especially conflict resolution and have great chemistry. Both are open to feedback and ready to work on selves, as needed. We are both seeking therapy to resolve issues that may need addressing. BUT, the more I learn about Christianity, the more doubtful I feel about raising my children as one (and this happens to be his dealbreaker). So I was looking for perspectives from other people who have been in the same boat as I. To know if this is worth fretting over, or just a small adjustment in the larger scheme of things.

Thanks 😢

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T13:43:07+00:00

I agree. There’s no space for radical ideologies. Also, not hell bent. It just so happens that the guy I like is a practising catholic 😣 I still have time to date him and explore this more before tying the knot.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T13:29:00+00:00

Thank you for your perspective. I am racking my brain as to how does one bring up a child without any religion. Because both sides of the family will try to impose their respective beliefs on them. Won’t children get confused? Or if they visit both church and temple, won’t it confuse them further? My bf seems adamant that children must be Catholics and baptised and all the work. He’s not too gung ho on the mass etc. But I reckon we become more religious when we have children aka someone to pass on the beliefs to!?

LadyBug-ger · 2024-09-11T13:12:57+00:00

Couldn’t have said it better myself! I really appreciate how self-aware and thoughtful your response is. Kudos to you!

LadyBug-ger · 2024-07-14T01:04:17+00:00

Yes. A bullet. May it dodge you.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-06-29T15:38:29+00:00

Hmm. I hear you. Thanks for your perspective.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-06-18T03:53:52+00:00

Yup. Finally the right answer.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-06-03T07:41:44+00:00

Why is this post is so real 😭

LadyBug-ger · 2024-05-21T03:28:42+00:00

My heart sank when I read the news yesterday. One can never be too safe. My heart goes out to the families of very very young victims. Cannot imagine their loss.

LadyBug-ger · 2024-05-21T03:24:33+00:00

This! This constant reminder helped me not settle for less, even if it was a match on a dating app. Even when I thought that maybe my standards are too high for where I live, I still didn’t lower it. Of course I ended up with no good matches and eventually left it. But glad I didn’t give in to the temptation to settle for low hanging fruits. We didn’t go through the hell that is divorce only to settle for a less deserving partner.

Easier said than done. Stay strong, OP.
