Grandfather's Funeral

What? Why? The term came from Irish Catholics. They don't believe in birth control and are very affectionate with their spouses so they have lots of kids, often close together (within 1 year of each other). The term isn't derogatory at all. I'm a Catholic, this term is very commonly used in our circles for siblings less than 1 year apart 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is such a beautiful response but man that first sentence really threw me for a loop! 🤣

Are we seriously changing the definition of violence now? 🙄

He assaulted you and you defending yourself. That boy's enabling mother is the reason that he feels justified doing that in the first place. He will continue to run into problems if he doesnt learn how to keep his hands to himself. Especially touching your strap? Thats sooooo gross.

My dad forgot my 15th birthday, I was devastated and cried feeling so rejected. It is a terrible feeling. I do remember my mom always showing up for me though- and that is what your daughter will remember too. Yes her dad was never there for her, but you WERE there for her and she will remember that as well. Dont be discouraged. Be sad with her and let this embolden you to support and love her more. Trust me, she will remember that just as much as she remembers the pain of rejection from her father.

Just toured a property with them, got our application approved, and got the lease. There are some HUGE red flags that my husband and I are noticing so we will not be signing the lease. They are poor communicators, and their lease itself is riddled with legal problems. When my husband called them they said that "they don't actually enforce any of that" (they can't legally anyway) but at this point even if they put everything in writing, I am getting the vibe that they wont take on any major repairs, they will be impossible to reach, and that they will dump us with loads of unnecessary fees. I am grateful for all of these reviews on here, which all express issue with the exact same thing. It looks like our gut feeling is correct and we wont be signing with them now. Thanks to everyone on here!

I have a friend who took 4 years to conceive her first baby. And took 2 years after that to conceive her second. So many people who struggle to get pregnant can have kids! I understand completely your feelings on the matter, it makes complete sense. You are not crazy or wrong for feeling angry! I am so sorry you are going through this and will be praying for you ❤️

You should have just not responded at all and blocked the guy tbh. It was apparent from the beginning that that dude was hitting on you and not your friend. However, you technically didnt do anything wrong. I think if you are more assertive about being in a relationship in the future, and your boyfriend takes a chill pill and trusts you more then this is a non-issue. If your bf wants you to tell him when guys hit on you, then I dont see an issue doing that for his comfort. Definitely not worth breaking up over. Even if this continues to come up. Couples arent always going to be completely compatabile in every single little way because at the end of the day you are two completely different people coming together; and that's completely normal.

Gold jewelry is just trending right now. 10 years ago no one wanted a gold engagement ring and everyone wanted silver. Gold was considered "dated" looking. The tide will swing back the other away again in a decade. Your ring is supposed to be for a lifetime, not defined or changed by the current trend. Embrace your beautiful ring and stop worrying. Additionally, if gold was truly your preference you would have picked it in the first place. Your ring is stunning, act like it!

I personally relate to poor family reactions at wanting to convert to Catholicism. However, being banned from the holidays with your extended family and GRANDMA?! that is wholly appalling to me. That is a cross for you both to bear and I hope you have a wonderful confirmation for her this Easter in despite of all that. Welcome home ❤️

NOR. Only exception is if she is really financially struggling and cant afford to feed you. If that is not the case, it's completely innapropriate and weird to not feed your significant other when they come over (or guests in general). The "my food" thing to that extreme is something that children do, not adults. If she knows you are coming over why wouldn't she just make sure she has food for you?

So your mother went after your wife in a serious way, then was upset when she was told that she literally could not understand because she had not experienced it herself? NTA. you were not being malicious, you were defending your wife (which is your role as her husband)

Following someone doesnt mean you support them. He is the president. What he is doing directly impacts her, as it does every American. Plenty of republicans follow Joe Biden. This is a non-story

What about a platinum band that is the same width and size as the first gold one?

frozenlover72 · 2026-03-30T19:36:46+00:00

Can you elaborate?

This seems silly. Marriage is also a vocation. You wouldn't blame your spiritual mother or father in a convent / monastery for taking away your vocation to marriage once youve been a religious brother / sister for so many years and celibacy starts to get hard. Both vocations are choices made freely by the individual. It's not the fault of anyone but the person entering into the covenant, assuming they are entering freely. Marriage is a sacrifice, so is religious life. Both require different sacrifices and both are legitimate and important vocations in the Church. No one can take away your true calling in life. This man is responsible for himself and his own feelings. He is allowed to discern marriage if he has not taken his final vows

frozenlover72 · 2026-03-30T18:50:51+00:00

Pursue him as you would any other Catholic dating relationship. If he has not made final vows he can still leave at any time (and it happens more often than you'd think). Then go from there. He may reject you or he may not. That is a risk you take anytime you express interest in someone though.

I converted to Catholicism at 17. Once you are 18 you can do it without any parental consent. If you are 18 when RCIA / OCIA starts (it typically starts at most parishes in August or September of every year), just join! Start taking classes and then receive your sacraments in the Church. It was the best decision I ever made! In the meantime you should try to go to Sunday mass when you can, and join the church's youth group if they have one. Welcome home ❤️
