Just adding in that I spoke with my husband. He said we will not get my ex involved and that after almost 20 years of marriage that no one will say our marriage isn’t valid. He doesn’t care if I go to RCIA, just another church out to get our money and I’m being gullible. So prayers please. I still plan on meeting with the Priest once the move is done and attending RCIA in Aug. I’ve been trying for two days to find something to convince me to go back to a Protestant church and I can’t. Even just scripture alone…can’t do it…so hopefully as I go through RCIA he will ease up. Hopefully once the move is done, that stress is gone he will see differently. Please pray. Thank you. I feel very alone and trying to not let his words effect me negatively or to cone between me and God. I know I’m on the journey for a reason.
 
RCIA is free of charge.

Reviews of marriages by the Tribunals are free of charge. As it has always been. People have at times been asked to help pay to cover some of the costs, but, it is always waived if they cannot help with a few bucks. Urban myth that the Church charges buckets of cash for reviewing a marriage.

He just means in general. I told him the classes were free. He didn’t seem to believe me. I’m not sure why he thinks churches want nothing but money. Because he isn’t a believer I’ve never given a lot. Been one to give time more than money because he has always been the one making the money. And I know he has that idea in his head for some reason.
 
Being raised Catholic he should know but for him us more any church, God. He believes God is real but doesn’t feel he needs God. He has said numerous times that he is happy with his sin.

At some point I have to bring up the kids going into classes to see what his reaction is there. I will not go against his wishes so praying he says they can go with me.

Unfortunately I think you two are in a tough situation. I presume others here will suggest “radical Sanation” (sp?) or something like that.

Is contact with your ex a big deal in your relationship? Are you, your ex, and your husband on friendly terms?

I’m not sure about that. Can you frame it differently so that it isn’t about the church determining the validity of your marriage? I cannot stress enough how sensitive what the church is asking can be. Even for those without need of annulment, there are a handful of times during the process that it can get overbearing.
 
We are on very friendly terms, more the two of them than anything.

I hoping once I sit down with a Priest in about three weeks, he will have some suggestions.
