[quote=Anonymous]OP, you say you're really pissed because he said he would attend mass and participate in the baptisim, but has reneged.  So...what do you want the outcome to be here?  Force your husband to participate in a religious activity that makes him uncomfortable every week for the next 18 years because he once said he would?  As PPs have pointed out, people change their minds about these things once the reality of child-rearing sets in.  Yes, it's frustrating to have your expectations tossed aside -- I really do sympathize with that.  But there isn't really a remedy here that you're going to like -- you can't reasonably hold him to his earlier statements, not if he's changed his mind.  (And just FYI, get used to having your expectations tossed aside -- children are absolute EXPERTS at it.)

Move forward with the info you have now: your husband is not willing to be an active participant in your kids' religious upbringing, but will not oppose it.  How do you want to go forward from here?[/quote]
