I think everything needs to be taken in the context of a relationship between two people. If a couple gets an afternoon where they are away from the kids, the jobs, the stresses, the bills, etc and they are having and joking and playful afternoon together and they are slapping each other on the butt making construction worker noises and laughing - no that may not be degrading - that may be playful, flirtatious, and fun. However, when a wife is...

Quote: Originally Posted by flyingfish That's true, but many good Catholics can sincerely come to believe that there is no valid marriage and obtain an annulment. I don't know to be honest how easy or difficult it is to get one, but there are certainly plenty of people who do this without going against their religion.

Jengl: Just in case my previous comments seem cold (I don't mean them to be so) I want you to know that you are loved and your struggle does not go unnoticed by God or by those of us who live on earth. I'll pray that you find comfort in your struggle, Jen. I've found great comfort in the comments of those here; I hope you do too.

Marriage problems and porn often go hand in hand, so it is appropriate to talk about both here. Thanks everyone for talking. Sixlittle saints, Your plan to keep praying is great.

Quote: Originally Posted by flyingfish I think try finding a strong looking man and politely asking him if he would mind giving you his seat. It's hard to imagine a man who wouldn't stand for a pregnant woman. Don't get too upset at the people who don't voluntarily stand up. Plenty of people are tired and have their issues, I think it's too much to expect strangers to voluntarily sacrifice for you. But I think asking...
