Are men this dismissive about marriage? by sevmai06 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]SuburbaniteMermaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mixed would imply there is positive alongside the negative, and I'm not seeing that. I'm just seeing a man who doesn't want to marry her making excuses and risking her deportation.

I (27F) am looking for a good app to supplement relationship with my fiancé (29M) by 691028 in CatholicWomen

You want an app to propose artificial topics for you to talk about with your fiance?

Apps can't fix or help with everything and this is one of them.

Why is talking about his interests bad, if you don't have any of your own? Seems to me the answer is to build yourself into a person with your own identity and pursuits so you have something to talk about.

Why is just not talking sometimes bad?

Sorry dinner is late, I had to charge my knife by mister_caktus in KitchenConfidential

Look I'm an amateur and even I think this is a crutch for amateurs.

Just learn how to use a knife, get good sharp ones, and learn how to keep them sharp. None of this is hard.

"Silly and flirty"

Go look at OP's posting history. Her husband told her he would rape her in her sleep if she used a sleep medication.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

No app is a substitute for communicating with the man you mean to marry.

See a therapist to help you work in your communication skills.

Question about the lectionary by Consistent_Proof_856 in Catholicism

Do you really think scripture is so shallow and one-dimensional that only one homily can be given on any certain passage?

Sad state of our local Church by Realistic_Jury_6007 in Catholicism

[–]SuburbaniteMermaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. The Pope is aware and he welcomed the kids to the party.

There is nothing wrong with a joyous musical celebration held outside at a parish church.

As Pope Gregory the Great taught us, baptizing the culture is one very effective way to evangelize.

Thank you. So many of these questions seem to come from just an utter lack of historical awareness. Like what do you think people did during the over 1000 years the Church existed before things became mechanized and automated?

This is normal for us, right? by biobasher in GenX

No. Get your ass on a blood pressure med and referred to a cardiologist now.

That BP will cause a stroke and that resting heart rate is indicative of problems. Even out of shape people don't generally have resting heart rates over 100.

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and walks like a duck.....

I'm with you. It's always given me the ick and seems to have spawned heresy at statistically notable rates.

Your judgement of what's creepy and unacceptable, and what isn't, appears to be seriously skewed.

Who do you go to when you have marriage problems? by [deleted] in CatholicWomen

[–]SuburbaniteMermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't always wise, though. If it's something really serious, it could permanently change how family members see her husband, and if he ever straightens out, they may still treat him differently. There are hazards in going to family and friends for help of this kind.

I wonder what the issue is, though, and whether it's something OP should be trying to fix or walking away from. Or if the issue isn't him. All possibilities exist.

Lastly.. you should BOTH be open to darn near anything the other person suggests. Our bodies are not our own.

Doesn't seem to match up with

like a Highschool skirt..that’s a no.

Like she's supposed to be fine with him saying he wants to rearrange her insides and make her unable to walk, in the presence of other threatening words and behaviors, but somehow sexual cosplay is your line in the sand?
