k4 has his opinion and he's entitled to it. (K4, I'm NOT disagreeing with you b/c I don't want to argue this again. It's a personal thing you feel strongly about, and we all get that)
I couldn't do it and I know there are priests who will marry people who've not gotten annulments. Maybe it's a regional thing.
This, i KNOW b/c I attended my own brother's wedding and both he and his wife were entering their 2nd m's and both had children from their first m's...
and there was a full Mass w/communion, and neither my brother nor his wife had gotten their first m's annulled.
Neither my brother nor his wife were previously m to Catholics, so maybe they could have gotten annulments and that helped.... Who knows? They didn't care about it and didn't want to deal with the children's issues that would ensue.
Pickle, please don't despair too much. This is a tough time for you...there are a lot of women on this board so you know that many of them really wanted their m's saved and didn't "deserve" to be left. They're good people. Don't assume most or even many women, are like your w....
If you learn what you need to learn from this experience, and become the best man you can become, you'll be able to attract & find a woman who has done the same...
I know you don't want to think that way now. I get that. But IF your m isn't saved, IF...
well, that does not mean you will always be alone.
Don't let your w taint the rest of us. More fish in the sea and all that...but being gun shy right now, makes sense. I get it. Just don't forget reality. There IS hope.
good luck OOOPS sorry for the hijack K4...I thought this was pickle's...yikes!
