My girlfriend is Roman-Catholic, and recently we were talking about getting married. I do not practice any religion, and do not want to affiliate with any religion. She told me that I absolutely have to get confirmed to get married to her (since she wants it to be in a Catholic church). But I do not want to be confirmed. I am not prepared nor have the interest in giving that commitment to the church. We both have strong feelings about our sides. She also told me that just because I get confirmed doesn’t mean that I have to go to church or give that commitment. So I asked what is the point of doing it in the first place? She is confirmed, but does not go to church or really practice. She also said that getting married outside of a Catholic church would “disown me from my family”. I have no problem getting married in a church…
Is it possible for us to get married, still in a Catholic church, without me being confirmed?
Any advice/help is appreciated… just please don’t preach to me, nothing is going to change mine or my girlfriends mind on our feelings of religion.

I know someone who has trained for a dozen different jobs in the last 10 years. Real Estate, heating/air, auto glass repair, even construction/plumbing. He has had 5 jobs in the last three years, none for more than 3 months, and only one of those jobs were one that he had trained to do. The thought of having a boss, or someone telling them what he has to do is appalling to him. Recently he just put about $70,000 into starting a new ‘niche’ career and less than 3 months of finishing ‘training’ he changed jobs again and completely gave up the previous job he had just finished training for. This person has also been engaged for the past 8 years, and keeps changing his mind on when/where/how they want to get married. They also have a tendency to over feel other people’s problems, often “fixing” things for other people without being asked, and inadvertently causing more issues, he doesn’t feel guilty about (“someone had to do it”). He has a vigilantly sense of heroism, and believe that Justice is best doled out by him, because he knows whats best. He sees the world in black and white. You are either good or bad, and he has no sympathy for people who are “bad” regardless of circumstances. He believes that he has never done wrong. He is a 29 year old Virgin. Has never done drugs, been drunk, been arrested, or eve so much as kissed his fiancee. He believes that “rightness” entitles him to judge what is right and wrong. He believes single mothers only raise rapists and serial killers, because children can’t get what they need. That women who are single should give their children up for adoption if they are under 3 and their spouse dies, to give them the chance to grow up with two parents. Any mother who doesn’t “must secretly hate their children” and he will look into and/or exaggerate circumstances to try to have the child taken because he believes he is doing the world a favor and saving this child from an “obvious criminal and maladjusted” future. During sad situations, or hearing about sad things that happen to others, he often sobs uncontrollably. He is, by far, the most extreme person I have ever met. What do you think could be causing such strong behavior?

I recently signed up for a Cheerleading team that’s not affiliated with school events or anything like that.I already attended fittings and a few practices. After awhile, I started realizing that the excitement and passion that I had for cheer was fading. I layed down for awhile and started imagining my life without Cheerleading. I’m only 13 so I knew I had many more years to find a sport/hobby that my heart truly desires and will never get tired of. The urge to quit grew bigger by each minute. But what sucked was that I already attended a few practices,went to fittings(already ordered the uniforms :(. It was like 2 sides of me were arguing about whether I should quit or not. I couldn’t imagine having to attend/play a sport that my heart was into. Like only my body was there but not my heart and that burning passion and excitement. The entire total of everything was $400, I made a commitment and I would look like a fool going back on my word. I know that it’s only the beginning of the season and I should give it a try, but I can’t seem to find that excitement and passion I once had. My parents are happy that I joined Cheerleading but I know they’re tired or driving me to and from practice.I don’t know how to bring myself to tell them if I do make the decision to quit and find something else that I will pour my heart into. Same with my coaches…just imagining them imaging me of being a quitter and breaking my commitment. The decision grew more intense and important and I find myself just laying down and sad. Please, if you guys/gals could help me and it would be a huge weight off my shoulders knowing it came from people that has or is in my situation right now. Thank you so very much (:.
P.S. If you could write properly,(don’t have to),that would be amazing. Btw, do I sound more
like a mature 17 year old? I’ve been told countless times I type and speak like a mature adult haha.
