Actually, I had no idea they were so strict on certain things! DH said he was ok marrying outside of the church, and I went obliviously along with it. I'm definitely not considering joining or attending mass, but I don't want to stand in his way, and I'm afraid I am, just by virtue of not wanting to be involved myself.[/quote]
My wife was raised Catholic and she insisted on marrying outside the church because we would have had to pledge to raise our kids Catholic. We are now the parents of two happily non-Catholic kids. I don't know if you have kids or plan to someday, but it might have been a factor for him.[/quote]

[b]We have kids, baptized outside the Catholic church. He says they're the reason he left for good[/b], but there's that nagging doubt that it's me (we had fights about me attending mass when we were first married). I mean, clergy of all denominations have abused children, so it seems like a tenuous reason for cutting ties completely with one specific church. Right?[/quote]

Why don't you just take him at his word?[/quote]

Because we had arguments about it when we first married. I had no idea what I'd gotten into.[/quote]

OK, but now he is saying that it is fine. Why don’t you just accept what he is telling you?[/quote]

Wouldn't you change your mind if your mother told you how you were about going to your wife's church?[/quote]
