Why do you think it’s so hard for some Catholic parents to teach their kids properly??? My parent’s whom are 100% devout Catholics used contraception all the time my mother used to be on bcps since I could remember, up until I think she was 40 when she stopped because I guess my no longer alcoholic father returned to the church and found out what was wrong and right etc but when it came to us their kids, bcps and contraception is OK and even advised towards and you are judged when you don’t use them???
I don’t understand that one?!
Before I knew about the story of Oden I didn’t know pulling out was a sin! I thought it was the greatest thing! This is how my sister and her husband avoid getting pregnant…I still haven’t shared the story because they don’t want to hear it…Hello I am pg from my fiance unmarried how dare I open my mouth!!!
It’s ridiculous…And I know how contraception changes you…Your views your feelings your thoughts and how it can make you feel like something is missing from your life, sort of an emptiness of some sort…I felt it all the time I was married to my now exhusband especially because I was on bcps most of our marriage…It not only damaged me physically but emotionally…I didn’t cheat or anything, but we weren’t close his ability to manipulate me made me feel as if I was just an object of his, something he owned and did what he wanted with no matter what whenever he felt like it…
It was devastating…And I always felt I wanted something more something better deeper more meaningful!
I can only imagine what it would have done to my exhusband if he would have been the one with the vasectomy…that’s pretty scary!
To the OP thank you for sharing your story, I am sorry you have gone through some terrible things but GOD willing all will be better and thank GOD for your wonderful wife! God bless!
