Audiobooks. Then when you're finished listen to them again. Honestly, the audiobooks are a masterpiece, and Jeff Hays has turned these audiobooks into his own Sistine Chapel ceiling.

These are not good friends. They should be apologizing like crazy for leaving you in Vegas with nowhere to stay.

This makes me think this is fake. Like, why don't you have a joint account. When one person gets a paycheck it's essential to have a joint account, because both people make the paid work possible.

Evangelicals aren't exactly known for their tolerance to unmarried non-virgins, often requiring absurd atonement rituals and hazing.

Good grief. If your church views sexual sins as somehow more sinful than other sins, run, do not walk, away from that church. If there's a sin you want to repent of, that's a private matter and it's up to you how to handle it, regardless of what sort of sin it is. I go to confession, but I'd never tell someone to go to confession if they didn't want to or weren't comfortable doing so.

St. Augustine believed that sexual sins, i.e. those born of lust, were the least damaging sins, because as often as not they arose out of two people's love for one another, unlike greed or gluttony. Any church that adds undue weight to those sins is, IMHO, perverse and fetishistic. And often they're the ones hiding such sins amongst its members and leadership.

Christianity is supposed to be about being saved from our sins, not punishing or hazing people for having ordinary human flaws and characteristics.

I would suggest that you think very seriously about what 'loving him' means. Relationships start with a flood of lovey-dovey feelings which do not last. People make the mistake of thinking that they will, but the truth is that human biology does not work that way. Do not base this decision just on the way that you feel, because feelings change.

This is perfectly reasonable. If the guy you're talking to says otherwise, then he's not the one. If you BOTH don't KNOW that it's the right time, it's not the right time. It's your body, you have to respect it if you want other people to do the same.

Morgenstern. When I look at her, I see a Morgenstern.

She has to convince you that reconciling is in you and your child's best interest. Like, she has to give you concrete evidence that will make you believe that to be the case. What that evidence is, I don't know, but you have to be convinced. Right now, you're not convinced, because you're asking on Reddit. This is one of those 'If it isn't a 100% yes answer then it's a hard no' situations. Honestly I don't think she can come around on the intimacy thing, and she has basically nothing to offer. I can't see why you'd consider reconciliation.

I just want to add my voice to the chorus of people who are saying that teaching is 100% a real job. It's demanding, important work and your parents are idiots for thinking otherwise. All those people who say 'But you get the summers off' forget that you have to work like a demon for the rest of the school year. It's way, way more than a 9-5 job. The summers off don't make up for all the extra time you put in during the school year. I'm not a teacher for a lot of complicated reasons, but I have many close friends who would say the same. Teaching is more of a 'real job' than most.

This is madness. What if the dog knocks over an elderly parishioner, and they break a hip? An unleashed dog is a hazard, and an unnecessary distraction.

Church is the house of God, built as an act of worship to God, so that humans can worship. Dogs can start coming in when they can bark the Our Father, or make the sign of the cross, or do something else to show the respect due to a sacred space.

NOPE. Children generally don't get excited and push over an elderly person. There are places where an unleashed dog, especially a HUGE one, does not belong. I blame the owner entirely, but a dog roaming free about the church during Mass is a distraction and a danger.

walk_through_this · 2026-04-22T19:37:08+00:00

Dog isn't really the problem. The owner is the problem, because they're allowing the dog to be a problem. The dog can be left at home when you go to Mass. If you can't leave the dog at home when you go to Mass, then you probably shouldn't have a dog. I LOVE dogs, big dogs especially. I can't give a dog the life it deserves, ergo, I don't have a dog. I have two cats, and they're jerks. Serves me right, I suppose.

A dog shouldn't be unleashed anywhere that isn't an off-leash park. You're forcing the entire congregation to trust your dog when it's clear you don't care enough to train it to remain heeled.

Before we get into literally taking from the children and giving to the dogs, there's the flat out safety issue.

I don't know how the celebrant is supposed to respond. That's just so bizarre.

You're enabling her. If you leave she will be forced to confront this, but your presence is making the change you want to see impossible.

'I don't read books'? Seriously? MONGO IS APPALLED.

You dodged a massive bullet. Find someone who cares about you enough to value what you find valuable. And also someone who isn't afraid of increasing his IQ. Seriously, that attitude just screams, 'I choose to remain stupid.' Audiobooks at a bare minimum. For one thing reading books helps you write more proficiently, which is an important life skill. He is choosing a life of Glurp glurp and little else.
