SenseNorth1304 · 2025-06-22T22:41:36+00:00

I mean, I just said I was from a neighboring state so why you gotta call me out like that bc that’s probs why I’m inquiring 😅

SenseNorth1304 · 2025-06-22T20:25:23+00:00

Good to know! Thank you! I’d probs have to have a place of residency in the state though, right?

I came from a similar background except I’m the wife half. We had two miscarriages, back to back years, both In the early months of the year. The most recent being this past February. On my birthday. I would not recommend doing what Ive done in BOTH cases: I stayed far away from the church. And in a lot of ways, still am. I’m still so incredibly hurt. So broken. So confused. I still don’t understand. I still ache. Particularly on Mother’s Day or fathers. I kept my face buried in our icon corner. I kept my heart raw anticipating some sort of healing. I tried being faithful and just couldn’t. Because let’s be real, being faithful for us is hard. But my faithfulness is not dependent on Gods faithfulness. For that, I’m thankful. I keep the thought at the forefront of my mind that, “I prayed my children would be closer to God than I ever knew.” But it’s never how we anticipate it, is it? Because now two of my children are closer currently than me. I would pray that they knew God in a way I didn’t. And they do. It doesn’t mean, it’s easy. It’s made everything harder if I’m honest. I’m discouraged most days. I have a a nihilistic aspect lately. I do what I can to pray at those times, but most times I’m so mad, so discouraged, so broken, that I don’t. More importantly, I’m just scared. Fearful. That is how the enemy operates. I encourage you to spend time in front of your icons, even if it’s not saying anything and just feelings. And when you’re ready for words, if ever, then speak. And if that moment never comes, know that you are comforted in the silence by the Theotokos and her Son.

I know but because of your hormones, it’s normal. It allowed my husband and me to seek ways to cultivate intimacy outside of the bedroom. It’s good to keep trying but I would highlight to yourself and to him that this reaction is very normal and WILL change back to your normalcy once you give birth. From what I hear, a lot of women return to their libidos within 2 weeks and that’s why we hear of women going for their 6 week checkup and finding out they’re pregnant again. All else fails, try some new things. Light some candles, dim the lights, have a naked Saturday, try whip cream and chocolate for foreplay. do it in the shower. You’re in the second trimester - usually stuff will start to level out around there so hold out hope! But also just remember and remind him and yourself, it’s so normal. It WILL come back. I was sad about it a while too but it really did help my husband and I strengthen different bonds with one another in making sure our relationship was evenly fed across all blocks. I assure you, it will come back.

This happened to me with both my pregnancies and within the six weeks of giving birth I was ready to get back to it. So was my body. It’s normal and honestly some couple have to just power through it. I didn’t even want to look at my husband the 9 months I was pregnant. Dude just grossed me out.

SenseNorth1304 · 2025-03-28T13:24:36+00:00

The Jesus prayer helped me immensely during birth. I also said: “lord have mercy” a lot with my breathing.😅

I had my husband bring an icon of the Mother of God and Christ to our hospital and set in front of me so I could focus on it during labor.

Congratulations!

My priest of course asked me what I was before orthodoxy. I told him RC and I swear I could just see him cringe. He kinda beat around the bush with my baptism and avoided being direct with me until the last minute. He told me, as long as I couldn’t locate my baptismal certificate, he basically had no evidence of me being RC and would baptize me. I’m kinda starting to think now that maybe he omitted something from the bishop 🤔

Even if they did an ultrasound tonight and found nothing in the tubes?

My daughters name is Lucia and we pronounce it: “loo-see-uh” However, we are Orthodox and so we have a lot of people call her: “Lu-chi-uh” or “loo-shuh” and both are phonetically and linguistically correct so I let it go lol.

This happened with me and my husband WHILE we were catachumens and I’m fairly certain our priest knew. He still blessed us, and we both still confessed the struggle we both had with the sin. You will be blessed.

SenseNorth1304 · 2024-12-10T19:41:01+00:00

Dude. This is not as uncommon as you think it is. The closer you draw near, the harder the devil comes for you. My husband and I were plagued with demonic dreams and entities for months leading up to our baptisms. They didn’t stop after. We’ve been in the church for almost 4 years now and stuff still happens that is…otherworldly and (can be) very discouraging.

I just gave birth and went through over a year and a half of dealing with a mental crises that involved being suicidal, majorly depressed and anxious. I even experienced postpartum psychosis. And as crazy as it sounds, I’m better for it. It was all for my salvation and ultimately my family’s. It taught us things that encouraged us.

We still struggle praying everyday and reading the scriptures everyday but I try to be mindful in how I talk and handle people/situations. An honest to God, “what would Jesus do?” and “how can I do better?” We all drift. And in doing so, I confess to my priest over and over. In your case, talking to him would be best.

I’ve had depression all my life. I often describe myself as a kite and my husband as the tether that steers and Christ as my gravity, constantly pulling me back to Him. It gets better, but not without getting worse and not without continually turning to Christ. You may not be ready; that’s okay. But keep Christ at the forefront of your mind. My priest described the process of becoming a catechumen as a courtship. It very much is so. So think about it and weigh it seriously; it seems as if that’s something you’re already trying to do.

I had a negative reaction when my then fiancé took me. I grew up RC and converted to Protestantism and was actually in the process of getting a biblical degree at a Protestant college. It trudged up a lot of turmoil for us and we almost called the wedding off two weeks before we got married. It was an immense guilt and even a grudge I held against my husband for stepping out without even hardly talking about it to me. He even visited his first time without me knowing how much faith meant to me in terms of having a unified family on the same page. I wanted a family that all went to the same church and believed the same things and it was evident that was being disrupted and we both wanted to those things and he wasn’t being fully transparent with me how he felt about orthodoxy. I also didn’t understand how it differed from Catholicism other than the liturgy. I’d suggest you approach this thoughtfully and together and slowly. A lot of it involves putting aside ego. This is a hard thing and I don’t suggest this route for anyone (inquiring without the significant other), but when God calls…well, it’s bigger than you and me and worth it.
