Getting Married To A Catholic But I’m Not Religious.?


My girlfriend is Roman-Catholic, and recently we were talking about getting married. I do not practice any religion, and do not want to affiliate with any religion. She told me that I absolutely have to get confirmed to get married to her (since she wants it to be in a Catholic church). But I do not want to be confirmed. I am not prepared nor have the interest in giving that commitment to the church. We both have strong feelings about our sides. She also told me that just because I get confirmed doesn’t mean that I have to go to church or give that commitment. So I asked what is the point of doing it in the first place? She is confirmed, but does not go to church or really practice. She also said that getting married outside of a Catholic church would “disown me from my family”. I have no problem getting married in a church…
Is it possible for us to get married, still in a Catholic church, without me being confirmed?
Any advice/help is appreciatedā€¦ just please don’t preach to me, nothing is going to change mine or my girlfriends mind on our feelings of religion.

What Is Wrong With Our Once “awesome” Sex-life?


My girlfriend and I (we are a gay couple) have been dating for almost a year and a half. When we first got together, our sex life was healthy–If not a little TOO healthy, if you catch my drift. We had sex at least once a day. If we got busy with life and work, it would dwindle down to every three days or so, and we thought that was insane. We couldn’t get enough of each other.
Now, over a year later, so much has changed. We’ve been through many homes and jobs, making mistakes and trying to find our niche in this world. It’s been a stressful year, to say the least.
When all of this stress first came on is when I first noticed our sex life becoming less and less satisfying. At that time, I understood it. Even though I myself would rather have sex and embrace the fact that at least we have each other during hard times, I understood her not wanting to as much.
I watched it dwindle down from every few weeks…to every month or so…to every couple of months…and now it has been five months. When I look up things about other couples having intimacy problems, they all say it’s been a month or two. But five months? Isn’t that a little scary?
Our lives are much less stressful now. Our money problems are nearly obsolete, and both of us are about to finally go back to school (full-paid, with no worry of paying back loans or not having enough to cover tuition.) So I know that it cannot be a stress factor anymore. Now, she is somewhat overweight. She has absolutely no self-confidence, and often calls herself awful names.
No matter how much I tell her that she is beautiful and sexy (because she truly is), she still thinks so poorly of herself. And I feel that if she would only let me make love to her, I could show her how gorgeous that she is. But time and time again, she turns me down.
She tells me that it’s not me. She says that it is absolutely nothing to do with me, and that she finds me more attractive than anyone she has ever seen. She sees how this is making me break down, how it is hurting me, but she won’t even make an effort. I feel so unattractive that I can’t even look at myself in the mirror. She’s making me want to starve myself and start dressing in ways that I would normally not ever dress, because I just want her to be attracted to me again.
Now before anyone says “she is cheating on you” I want you to know that I have already considered that. I’ve already accused her of it. Of course, I could be wrong, but from what I can tell, she has been faithful. Before we even got together, she was my best friend because I knew her to be the most honest, trust-worthy person I ever met.
And also, I’d prefer answers that don’t have to do with “spice it up!” because honestly, nothing is wrong with the mechanics of our sex-life. We’re lesbians. We know how to satisfy each other. What’s wrong with the sex is the lack of it.
I just want to know what could be wrong with her…or me…that’s causing this to be so long and drawn out. It seems silly to me to end a relationship just because my partner lacks sex drive. But I am a woman. I need touched. I need to feel wanted. I need to feel special. I wait on her and her friends hand and foot and do everything she could ever possibly need. All I want is my basic human needs fulfilled. Not every day. Not even every week. Just more often than every few months.
Any help?

My Mom Found An Empty Box Of Condoms What Should I Respond?


Me and my girlfriend we had sex about a month ago and was her first time doing it as well as mine. We have been going out for almost a year and i had an empty box of condoms on my bag which my mom happen to go through my bag (even though she taught me to respect other’s stuff) and she found the empty box of condoms. i was going to soccer practice and on the way out she told me “what was that box on your bag?” and i just pretended i didn’t hear her and walked away, however, after i left the house she yelled “i’m telling your dad” and that alarmed me. My problem with this is that my mom she treats me like i was 10 even though i’m 17 almost turning 18 and it really bugs me because i can’t drive because of her belief that “you’re going to crash onto another car” even though the streets i drive in are basically empty and i have driven for over 1 year now. Also i can’t go to places besides the park in front of my house because she thinks “you’re going to get shot” or “you’re to smoke weed with your gangster friends” even though our neighborhood is calm and i don’t smoke weed nor i have friends who are affiliated to any gang. On the other side i have my dad who is an open minded person. He talks the problems out contrary to my mom which she starts yelling and accusing people of being gang members or stuff like that. My dad will talk out the problem with me if she tells him about the box of condoms she found of my bag but my mom will basically start WW3 about that box of condoms. Also my girlfriends parents are the really strict parents and i understand that and that’s why i used the condom in the first place, making sure she didn’t get pregnant or get any disease. I don’t want her parents to know about this but if there is no solution then i will attach to the consequences. How can i talk about this to my parents if they asked me about it? any suggestions. My girlfriend told me that if my mom disapproves me using them, then she’s denying safety from us by not letting me use the condoms. I know it’s not right having sex at such a young age but me and her talked through it for a long while and we both agree to attach to the consequences. Basically my problem is that how to discuss this with my parents? any suggestions?

What Can I Do To Help Him Mature/feel Able To Love- Or Is The Relationship Doomed?


My boyfriend and I have been dating 1.5 years and he not only says he doesn’t love me, but feels he is incapable of loving, period. He waited until we’d been dating 10months to tell me he is not attracted to me because of my weight, but will be if I lose about 30lbs (yeah, right..), and further still has very strong feelings for 2 girls he met before we did. He dated one of these two girls while he and I were dating (but NOT in a “relationship”) and he tried is damnedest to keep her a secret from me. Sometimes he says he wouldn’t mind if I found someone else, he says he doesn’t get jealous, and sometimes regrets choosing me over pursuing the two girls (he went on 2 dates with each, girl1 two years ago, girl2 last year – still has strong feelings for both) I really don’t know what to do, I’ve tried working with him and he hopes we will work out toward marriage and a family (he says he won’t be ready for another couple years – I am ready now..). If I could give him my heart to feel love with, I would, I try to show him what love looks like in my actions and through my words; but my mind tells me our relationship was doomed from the start (it took 7 months of steady dating before he would even kiss me; after he kissed me for the first time he regretted it, and we had to take a month break…after 1 month, he asked me to be his girlfriend. The next day he regretted THAT and, after dismissing suicide, wanted to break up. I talked him out of it.)
We are both Catholic, thus we are waiting for marriage to have sex. He does not look forward to the idea of sex when he DOES get married, which I find unnerving, and he has been struggling in his faith recently…he says he wants to be with me because he will never find anyone like me again and I am more “insert-positive-adjective-here” than anyone he’s ever known (except my looks..losing weight would make me attractive to him he says??). In 1.5 years he has never once driven to see me, I always drive to see him or pick him up; and while I have almost always paid for our dates/meals/admissions/etc, he plans some really romantic stuff…. I just don’t know what to think. I feel heartbroken and alone more often than not in my relationship, but I would do anything for him. I have had my share of relationships and experiences, and what I feel for him is love in spite of himself, I care more for him than I do for me, it’s very scary, and when he corrects people with “Oh, we’re not in love!” I feel like my entire body and soul want to cry. He is younger than me: I am turning 27 soon and he just turned 24. I am only his second girlfriend, his first having lasted about 2 months, and as only the 2nd girl he’s ever kissed I give him leeway because I think he’s scared of commitment but it seems so much more than that.
He lives with his parents still but want to move out once he gets a job (he just graduated summa *** laude and is having trouble with the job market). We also live 3hrs apart and I only get to see him once every 2 weeks normally. We have never once had a fight, just drama…he tells me I’m too patient, that he would have left much sooner if he were me, and but agreed with me when I said though we have 500 reasons to break up it only takes one good one to stick together…my one good reason is that I’m completely in love with him, but I don’t know his. He, by the way, said he wants to be the first to say he’s in love, so, I think he knows my feelings, but I can’t tell him šŸ™ Is there any hope for us? I have been ready for marriage and kids for years and when he says something like “If I asked you to marry me right now would you say yes? :3” I feel on top of the world; but when he follows it a month later with “I’ve never REALLY thought about marrying you..” it hurts. Simple, cut to the core, pain. I don’t know what to do…

Is He Just A Player Or Might He Actually Like Me?


I moved to a new school about 8 months ago and everything’s been going fairly well. I’ve found my niche but all of a sudden this guy has been indirectly coming on to me. (This has been going on since December.) He is continuously flirting with me in an awkwardly cute way. It’s weird because he goes out of his way to make me notice him in class but won’t actually talk to me (except twice). BUT, he has an on again/off again girlfriend and I am 100% not interested in getting involved in that.
The question is, do you think he’s just trying to mess with me/make a fool out of me? I’m not a social pariah, but I’m definitely not in the “popular group” like himself. Everyone in my town knows/loves him.
I am *NOT* going to pursue him since he has a girlfriend, but if they break up and he continues flirting with me like he is, what should I do?
He acts really awkward/bashful when he’s near me, but around his friends, he acts very arrogant and sure of himself. Do you think he’s just trying to mess with me?
We’re both high school juniors.
