Hi,
i’m a catholic…
i’m in this relationship with my girlfriend, she treats me like a rat, but thats not it…

She has managed to suck my life completely, all i do is for her, i’ve lost all my own things, hobbies, etc. and she still treats me like an animal…

But my question is cause i’m really afraid of something she made me do tonight at her house…

I was offered an opportunity that it was like a dream to me, lets just say someone called me and asked me if i wanted to run an ice cream store… and i said yes… but she is so angry at me cause i said yes and she doesnt want me to own that store, and since its one of the few things i have left i had to humilliate to her and beg her to please let me own that store…

the thing is that she’s extrem jealous, like, lunatic jealous… and shes angry cause she thinks that if i own that store i will have to interact with people (girls) even though they are only customers… and the only way she would let me have that store (even though i only want that store cause “ice cream” is my passion, not the girls), is by me taking a bible and swearing before god that i will never even look another girl… i’ll try to say it literally what she made me do while holding a bible in my hands

“I Swear before God and my parents life that i will never even look another girl, and if a girl ever comes inside my store i would kick her out or i will close the store so no girl can come in”

She made me do that, and now i’m really afraid that something bad would happen to me or my parents, i’m an only son and my parents are all i have, thats why she makes me do that all the time, shes really bad to me. I feel so bad, i didnt wanted to do that but if i didnt do it she would have been so upset at me that i wouldnt handle it.

This is a serious question, or concern.
Please, i need advice, i need God to forgive me for doing that, i didnt wanted to do it, but i’m really afraid of her at this point. I felt so bad about it, i’m really sorry. Please, help me, how can i be forgiven?
 
Hi,

You didn’t make the oath freely, so it doesn’t have any value. There is absolutely no reason for you to live in fear of this woman. What you need to do is drop her like a hot potato. If she is this dreadful as a girl friend, I don’t even want to think about what she would be like as a wife. You do not need her in your life. If you think you do, get yourself to a Catholic counselor as soon as possible:

Hopefully, you can find one in your locality from the website above. If not, ask you pastor for the name of one. You are in my prayers.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
