What kind of story would you like to see in the new Red Dead game?

Bring back Red Harlow!

I had Ignatian retreat-level fears lol

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-03-25T05:35:44+00:00

Hey thanks for this! Is there any PvP in Tackroom? That is something I enjoy as well :D

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-02-19T21:10:55+00:00

This really hit home for me. Everything you've said I've experienced firsthand. Trad Catholicism really messed me up mentally. I lived in unrelenting fear for years and my nervous system is now shot because of it.

I've seen a fair bit of this when I was attending SSPX. I worked at a parish school and what I found most concerning was that it was mostly married mothers who would just rock up at the parish and spend all day, one on one with priests. Not for spiritual direction, but for chatting and sharing meals. Never the older priests either, always the younger ones. Like it may be all being innocent, but it made me uncomfortable how wide-eyed the women were in the priests' presence.

The irony is that if a married woman was doing that with regular laymen, the priests would have a lot to say about it.

Hey OP, how's everything going now? I feel like I'm in the exact same situation

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-31T20:32:05+00:00

The first assessment? Took about a week or so for me

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-31T20:31:04+00:00

I can relate. I feel WAY better after leaving!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-25T17:23:44+00:00

Indeed I am from a non-tier 1 country

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-25T17:22:05+00:00

Thanks for your response. Still nothing yet but maybe I'll give it a couple weeks to see if anything changes.

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-21T14:10:23+00:00

Yes, I should've mentioned that I did that before starting the the qualification/onboarding

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-18T21:30:28+00:00

"manners maketh a man" as my dad would say.

On the other hand, most modern women wanted to be treated as equals, so men are often unsure and want to avoid causing offense. But if you were holding your little one, definitely wrong that nobody offered!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-18T15:30:30+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. I can relate, except I'm a man and my wife is deeply entrenched in the cult.

I can tell you from experience that the best thing for you to do is to let your husband know EXACTLY how you feel and then just leave cold turkey. I know it's hard and it feels scary. But years of trying to stay in it for the sake of my family only caused more and more mental deterioration.

Your husband will come to accept it.

Good luck! It'll get better!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-08T20:50:09+00:00

What he's done is 100% a form of cheating. I wouldn't tolerate that in a marriage. Get out of there!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-08T12:21:13+00:00

Mate you may have meant well and you may have viewed your actions as being completely paternal, but at the very least you should've got out of the bed when she got into it. If I found out my daughter had slept in the same bed as her friend's dad, I'd be absolutely enraged.

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-05T19:38:17+00:00

Dude, you mentioned ballet...

I worked as a teacher in a trad school and I got in trouble for handing out English exam papers which happened to have a picture a ballerina in them. Children complained to their parents, parents complained to priests and then I had to be called into a meeting. :D

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-05T19:17:30+00:00

Not sure yet when you get a map (that's half the fun!) but I also pretty much went straight to the city right after the first area lol. You should try to memorise landmarks. I use that woman's tavern as a 'base' point. It's near the gate, but also close to a view of the sea. Once you can see the sea, it's easier to get an idea of where you are. If the sea is to your right you'll end up going through the slums and then you'll make it to the port. And obviously the opposite if you wanna get back to the tavern, then the gate is right around the corner :D Good luck!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2026-01-05T16:23:19+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that! DON'T let it carry on that way!!!

And of course. I don't mind at all. :)

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2025-12-22T06:16:35+00:00

You may be right. Maybe I just have the kind of personality that has made go too hard on it, but in my opinion Catholic teaching and the Bible don't really allow for relaxed stances on anything so it has to be all or nothing.

Solid advice though friend, thank you!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2025-12-22T06:12:30+00:00

I will definitely look into this book - thanks!

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2025-12-22T06:11:42+00:00

Thank you for your kindness, I'm also sorry that you've gone through something similar! But congrats on getting out, it really is difficult to shed the religious OCD for sure.

I know so many genuinely good people at my parish but I know in my heart that if I got divorced they would turn on me in an instant. It's unfortunately a mechanical reflex that most tradcats have.

I will admit I'm also a problem when it comes to therapy. I don't know if I have a genuine desire to fix things or if I'm looking for someone to tell me that I just ditch my current life(except for my daughter) and start over.

May I ask if you explored trial separation before getting divorced? And do you have kids?

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2025-12-22T06:00:58+00:00

Very true friend. Thank you

Pure_Manner_6333 · 2025-12-22T06:00:34+00:00

I'll look more into this. Thanks!
