So here goes…I am a 45 year old male on my 3rd marriage. I have 2 topics that I would appreciate input on.
1. Religion
2. Money
I have been married for 1.5 years.
My wife is catholic and I am Methodist (by baptism only, not big church guy). Before I was married my wife told me that in no way would she ever leave her Catholic faith. I did not have an issue with this. I must be honest here and tell you that I am somewhat "anti-Catholic".
My grandfather and great grand-father were Orangemen and I am also an Orangeman. This said, I told my current wife that I didn't have a problem going to her church once in a while and then we can go to my Presbyterian church once in a while.
This has been going ok until recently.
I am not getting anything out of her church and me going up for communion because I feel like an outcast if I don't, is making me feel like a hypocrite. So last Saturday before Easter we went to her church and it was 2.5 hours long. Towards the end I told her I didn't want to go up for communion. She then decided to leave early with an attitude before she got the chance for communion herself and caused a huge fight.
Yes, I told her in the dating days that I would give her religion a chance, but it's not doing anything for me. So do we continue going to 2 different churches or find a catholic that I can tolerate?
Money –
So in Dec 2012 my wife quit her job. To date she has been unemployed other than a years' worth of unemployment for 2013 and now babysitting that brings in 180.00 per week. She has 3 children from her marriage and I have 2. Add water instant Brady Bunch.
We still pay for her 20 year old daughter's cell phone and personal loan (which I don't agree) who goes to college full time. Her 23 year old is on her own and constantly needing money due to her over extending herself on her car and student loans.
Her son, who lives out of state, needs money. We just sent him 500.00 for help with a car. Just spend almost 200.00 for senior pictures…will be sending him 400.00 for a flight home for his grad party and then the 1500.00 for the grad party. Plus we are flying to his grad ceremony that cost 600.00 airfare..hotel which I haven't yet booked…and rental car; not to mention dinners. Did I mention the child at college needs a car?
I am living paycheck to paycheck draining our small savings account. My wife drives a newer car I bought her so I am paying for her car, insurance, gas as well as my 21 year old truck.
I have not even mentioned that I am paying $1000.00 per month child support for my 2 kids as well as "dad can you do this and dad can you do this stuff".
Anyway, this stress has caused me to start taking Cialis as my mind (and other parts) can't focus.
Any help would be great. Thanks.....
