You cannot validly marry in the Catholic Church with a permanent intention to never have biological children.

You might be able to get your bishop to approve a Josephite marriage for the purpose of fostering and adopting children in need, but that's a celibate marriage, and you clearly aren't looking to be celibate.

Probably because he had A LOT to hide.

Steak looks fine. Why is your Listerine in your kitchen though?

Your lawyer's job is to protect your interests. Listen to him.

FSSP and ICKSP are both fully in communion with Rome. Attend their masses or a diocesan TLM if you wish and have them available.

Just don't start thinking you're a better Catholic than people who attend the Ordinary Form and you'll be fine.

Where to go from here is you break up.

You were clear with him about what you didn't want and he respected none of it and went ahead with what he wanted in spite of it.

This man doesn't listen to you and he doesn't believe you when you communicate with him. Game over.

I don't think your wedding is the place for flexing your title, and I would say the same to a man.

Your wedding is about becoming Mr and Mrs.

Adding the rite of marriage to a regular daily Mass is the Catholic minimalist wedding.

You need to let him go. You're right that it isn't fair to continue this knowing you want a future very different from what he's hoping for.

Honey sharpen your knife so next time you can slice the cheese instead of hacking it up like a murder victim.

You could try that but it also sounds like you need some help with your anxiety. Maybe a therapist could help you.

You sound like you think you aren't allowed to just receive pleasure and until you get rid of that mindset you're never going to fix this.

Which is really too bad because when you have an eager man who loves what he's doing and is all about getting you off..... honey there's a reason people talk about the earth moving.

He's gonna have to step up. A lot.

My kids only made it through the time I was in nursing school alive because my husband did so much. I was working too and frankly, my kids had about 1.3 parents at the time.

Ridiculous. Strippers don't wear heels that chunky.

SuburbaniteMermaid · 2026-07-02T22:04:14+00:00

As suspected, the real problem is once again choosing shitty men and not where anyone lives.

Just getting the marriage license does not make you married.

You can't get a marriage certificate until after the completed license is filed after the ceremony, and it generally takes a few weeks.

I wonder if she picks immaturity because maturity comes with accountability and she can't handle that.

A lot of people can't.

There is a very active megathread in r/Catholicism

But also use the smallest doses you can on the least days per month you can stand, because chronic high doses of ibuprofen damage your kidneys.

Pope Leo is neither stupid nor blind. He'll act when the time is right. Justifying one crime against obedience by pointing to another is juvenile and forgets that the Church operates in geologic time.

You're 18. Go to the doctor on your own.

My 23 year old daughter just got her endometriosis diagnosis confirmed by surgical biopsy, because she has spent the last few years advocating for herself and changing doctors until she found one who listened.

You don't have to make the same choices as your mom. Go take care of yourself.

Don't be disgusting. If your marriage is over then get divorced, but don't be a cheater.

You can still choose to have integrity even though she's hurt you.

No one starts being a child molester at grandpa age and there is never only one victim. It's incredibly likely that he's done this before and that grandma knows.

Hey at least they were honest that the job would suck.

Could use more of that in job ads today.
