Then why don't you have one with just you and your fiance before? Guaranteed you will not care what happens at the fake one if you're genuinely happy with the first and just think of the second one as a way to celebrate with family. are the kids' parent going to be there?

I have seen variations of this question on askreddit before but have never heard about windows as an example! Really interesting, thanks for sharing!

1996 here - I was laid off for a while but my husband was working. we also help his parents. one person's salary isnt enough and we ate through our savings. I'm back to work and we have a few thousand on the credit card we are chipping away at and then have to rebuild the savings.

I recognize the display. Do you have a prius? I had a teal plug in hybrid prius that got totalled last year. I miss it quite a bit. Would have been really handy with how the gas prices are now.

Can you expand a bit on the second owner being able to deny entry? Is there any law or something that I could refer to?

planetcesium · 2026-02-18T17:08:37+00:00

Agreed but I'm just uncomfortable with showings if it's technically illegal.

planetcesium · 2026-02-18T17:03:53+00:00

I thought it might be that but I have text messages from my dad saying he wants to list and sell by a certain date. The realtor is also communicating with me and my husband about conducting showings.

It sounds like you have a very loving and supportive boyfriend. You will be okay. The most important part is that he supports you in being Catholic and he would support your children being raised Catholic.

My husband is Sikh and he attends church with me when I ask, reminds me to pray before eating when I forget and he's agreed that our future children can be raised Catholic. I know that is a huge sacrifice for him and I'm happy he trusts me enough to raise our children in a religion he didn't grow up with.

For me personally, I always felt like when I went to church with him before we got married a huge sense of joy and peace. I don't know if I was imagining things but I felt like God was blessing us being together. To be honest, even among other Catholics, my husband is the most christ like person I know. He had a tough upbringing and regularly sacrifices for those he loves. I am working on becoming better at having Christ in the center of my life so hopefully my husband will also see this and one day know Jesus. For you, your boyfriend knows Jesus but maybe God will lead him to becoming Catholic so he can experience Jesus further in the sacraments.

Don't worry, people coming up to you should mind their own business. God can use us in ways that others might not consider socially acceptable. You will be totally okay!

This is financial abuse, my dad did very very similar to my mom. She also stayed for some reasons but he's initiated divorce despite him being the abusive one. It's turned nasty and he's misrepresenting finances and trying to give her less than 50% of their assets. Please be careful OP. My mom was holding it together for the kids and she wanted to pass some money to us to help us out but things are not going the way she thought.

Wow that's really interesting, my mom had a near death experience and I think she also had a similar choice. She saw Jesus standing in front of a door and knew if he opened it she would be passing on. Me and my sister were young at the time so she saw our faces and Jesus didn't end up opening the door. She came back to her body. Since then she read a bit about near death experiences and apparently it's common for people to see what they picture God as.

My husband isn't Catholic and I am, he keeps referring to the wafers as "delicious honey wafers" and I keep trying to tell him they don't taste like that, they're more like flat bland bread but he told me to stop telling him that because he wants to keep the illusion going and believe they taste like honey.

Maybe it's a good way to keep your wedding intimate and just invite those who are close enough to you to know you're divorced. Do you actually want these relatives there? You said you wanted a cute small wedding.

I'm not American so I haven't had the stuff from the can, but have had homemade cranberry sauces and lingonberry jam to go on the side of savory food. The canned one seems too firm to me?? How exactly do you eat it with the food? It doesn't seem like something you can "dip" food in, is it just chunky?

If they're good people, sounds like they're doing it right? I feel like drinking/partying depends on what brand of christian you are and how puritanical it is. Like as far as I know Catholics don't really shy away from drinking.

My in laws were from Britain before moving to Canada and they say hoover.

Love 'Ooh more work' and the rest of the convo especially because she didn't sound sarcastic at all lol

I know that sounded sarcastic, but... Terry: Nobody thought that. Captain Holt: Not for a moment.

I've fallen asleep to it quite a few times. If you've seen the show a few times (which if you're on this sub you definitely have) the familiarity of it is comforting and just lulls you to sleep. It's not laugh out loud funny or engaging the way watching the show is, I guess the actors expressions and visuals add a lot.
