[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are 35, devout Catholic, unmarried, and don't feel any sense or need of progress toward marriage and kids, I don't think you being completely honest with yourself. [/quote]

OP here. I wouldn’t say I’m a devout catholic. I just don’t believe in divorce. [/quote]
I hope you are planning on going to premarriage counseling if you decide to eventually pop the question. I think you've got some baggage there you need to unpack.[/quote]

OP here. We likely will.

I don’t think I have baggage because I don’t believe in divorce. Too many people go into marriage with the mindset they can just divorce in 10 or 20 years after having kids. I value marriage and want more than that for my future kids. I honestly think lack of marriage and two parent households are why the youth are failing miserably. They have nothing but bad examples and little guidance.

Look, no one believes in divorce.  Every person who got married believed it would last.  But honestly in some marriages that go terribly wrong divorce is not the worst thing.  Try two people who hate each other living together.

It's like abortion.  Sometimes you want the baby but the baby doesn't have a brain so you have to choose what you don't want.

Have you ever asked her if she wants to marry you?  Some women want to get married but say they don't because they don't want to scare them away.

I honestly don't think you are ready for marriage because you have a lot of set beliefs bit you haven't shared with your girlfriend.  If my dd was your girlfriend I would encourage her to break up with you.  Too many red flags.  Sorry!

If you are living together and having sex you are a caferteria Catholic.  One who picks and chooses.  You think divorce is bad and yet you are living in sin.  Can't have it both ways.[/quote]

OP here. Not true. I know several women who have said they could just get divorced if it doesn’t work out. All were co-workers and just married to have kids. [/quote]
