Marriage problem, divorce?!, need advice.
Thank you for all your comments. I really need the advice. I have hard time talking to friends and even family about my marriage problems, so I pick this forum. I am not sure what the truth is and I am definitely perplexed by her open attacks by twisting the truth. I look at our baby and then look at her and I could only be amazed how little thoughts she must have put into our future happiness as a family. I have tried to reach out to her many times, she shot me down and have told me several times that she just doesn't love me any more. So there was a period where I also notice there were some "funny" activities going on, but did not have the time to pursuit the truth. In any event, I would be fine if she has someone else and that may explain her behavior (and her mother probably knows too). You guys are great and after I read the advices several times, I will spend some time thinking it through. This is so tough and I just want to make sure I do the right thing.
What can you advice me to solve a problem with a second marriage? I want to convert to Catholicism from Orthodox Christianity.
Without a better description of your particular situation, I can’t tell you much, beyond that you should start by talking to a priest or diocesan canonist, and that an annulment of a first marriage is both possible, and not necessarily going to happen.You might want to look specifically for an Eastern Catholic priest, especially if you are converting to an Eastern Rite. As you probably know, Orthodox Christianity deals with second marriages a bit differently from Latin Catholicism, while Eastern Catholics are more similar, and will probably be better able to both understand your problem, and to help you to a solution. Latin Catholics like me often don’t understand how marriage works for Eastern Orthodox or even Eastern Catholics. However, if you intend to convert into the Latin Rite, they will probably still advise you to go through the Latin Rite for an annulment.Best of luck!Thanks for the A to A!
My mom blames me for her marriage problems? advice please? easy 10 pts :p?
You poor thing!! Sounds like your mom may be a bit mentally ill/unstable and need some psychiatric help...She may also be one of those mothers who suddenly becomes jealous and resentful of their daughters once they begin to hit womanhood because now the daughters are younger and more attractive than them...I've heard of this being somewhat common, which is super weird to me!! Try your best to communicate how bad she is hurting you and how much of an impact its having on your life; ask her where this resentment toward you came from! Just because she's miserable, doesn't mean she needs to drag you down with her! Tell her you're at the age when you need your mother the most, and you have no one to turn to because the only interaction you have with her is negative and you NEED her positive support and interaction now more than ever!! And honey, a marriage is between 2 PEOPLE...blaming outside influences for any marital problems is a cop out and you are NOT to blame for ANY problems in their marriage!!!
Help...Newlywed Marriage Advice?
OHHH MAN ... You have all the right to want to have sex with your wife. No doubt about it. Don't feel like you are wrong or something ... It seems to me though that SHE may be the one with a problem. She may be the one who is failing in this relationship. She should have to provide an explanation why she didn't want to have sex after all that make up session. Talk to her, make to talk about it, it's not enough to say: "Sorry, I don't want to talk about it". Force the issue. The reason for making her to talk is to first of all recognize that THERE is a problem, and also to determine the reason for it, and then decide whether or not you both need to go and seek for help with a professional. It's completely normal to desire and want to have sex with your wife (I'll call it make love instead). If she doesn't want to have it, then it's her responsability in the relationship to open up and explain what the problem is. Wish you luck.
Moving out of parents house before marriage...... need advice.?
First of all I'm 27 yrs old, will be 28 in November. I come from an extremely conservative/old-fashioned family. I have 3 older sisters & all of them didn't move out until they got married. The oldest was 33 yrs old when she moved out & got married (I know). That is the family rule- period. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years & will be engaged soon. I am planning on moving out within 2 weeks but have not spoken to my family. This is going to completely break my mom's heart. I am getting married in one year. Does anyone think I should wait it out or just move out?
