In this episode, we talk about cheating, open relationships, and the Catholic Church's position on the matter. We also talk about what it means to leave a marriage that is abusive and why it's a no go.
00:01:43.840If, and this is a hypothetical, please, so please don't get offended.
00:01:47.480But if your husband were to do something that was not okay with you whatsoever to the point where you did not any longer want to be with him,
00:01:56.220whether that's cheating or something else, that's just a no for you.
00:02:18.660Whatever it is that would be like a straight, like, I need to leave this person.
00:02:22.340Would you stay with them just for the convenience and also the toxicity that it could bring into your household, inflicting your, your children, you know?
00:02:31.080So my position is if, and it's the position of the Catholic Church as well, which is that if you're in a situation in a marriage that's abusive, right?
00:02:38.460It's causing harm to you or your children, then you definitely should create separation.
00:02:59.300They, they do bad things and you should separate yourself from them, um, for your protection or your kid's protection.
00:03:05.440Uh, but you then don't go on and just remarry and try to live another life.
00:03:09.500Um, now there's something in the case, if you were lied to, so there's something called annulment, which some people say, oh, that's Catholic divorce.
00:03:29.360So if they're lying to you in a serious way and you go into a marriage, you weren't free, able to freely choose that marriage.
00:03:35.560And so afterwards you can request an annulment from the church and be like, hey, I don't think I was even married because I didn't freely choose this.
00:03:41.460I didn't know this guy was a liar and, you know, addicted to pornography and abuse and all these things.
00:03:45.820And so in that case you could nullify the marriage and then be free to be free to actually get married.
00:03:51.140I want to say something just to be completely fair to you.
00:03:53.340I think what you have in your marriage is absolutely beautiful.
00:03:57.600I think that if you two are happy and like living together in the Lord and like you see a future that even it goes past this life to heaven.
00:04:05.040And I think that's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
00:05:25.040If I found out my person I was dating is sleeping with other women or sleeping with anyone, honestly, because I don't, I didn't have, we didn't have sex before marriage.
00:05:39.880You see how, it's like the feminist programming.
00:05:42.500It's like, what we need to do is have high standards.
00:05:46.140But it's like, if you're a used Honda Civic and you demand Ferrari prices, you're just going to have no buyers.
00:05:51.740So I would, I would say high standards is not the problem in the dating market today.
00:05:58.020And it's, it's funny because the married people will shit on me for being single.
00:06:02.740Like, they'll just be like, oh, she's single.
00:06:04.540She doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:06:05.760But sometimes I hear the married people talk and I'm like, I don't think you guys know what you're talking about because the market is different than 10 years ago.
