This Is Gonna Get Ugly

Thanks again everyone! The nun I was going to talk to felt more comfortable with me talking to the “fill-in” priest while mine is away. Sooo, he will give me a call as soon as he gets settled.

This has not been a good week for me.

I’m scared. What to do? The thought of having sex without protection makes me sick to my stomach. God forbid I get pregnant. But obviously not having sex is not an option. I don’t even know how to approach him with this as I know this is going to push him over the edge. I’ve read that if the husband had a vastecomy (sp?) it would not be a sin for me to have relations with him. But I don’t want him to sin?? Any (name removed by moderator)ut or advice would be appreciated.

Did I mention I was not having a good week??

Dear sister I am so sorry that you are under this stress but God obviously has a plan in it. I think first and foremost you need to talk honestly with your Priest. If you don’t have a relationship there, then find a parish that you can worship in that the Priest will be accessible to you. You need to go to confession, (if you haven’t already) and get those things settled and then you and your husband need to have a “heart -to-heart”. As scary as that seems, it will be harder if you don’t at least begin. You don’t say much about your past, i.e. whether you were a fallen away Catholic at the time of your marriage or what your situation was then, but it seems that now you are seeking God, or more likely He is calling you. When God calls us it is wise to listen and do as He says. I am praying for you and I hope you will follow through with your Priest. Don’t despair!! No matter how hard all this seems, God can work it all out, and He will if you trust Him to do it; but you must do your part. God Bless you and keep us posted. I am sorry too about your dog.
