Didn't I say I am pretty much content being single lest I find a time machine or something?
No, you didn't. To wit:

All of these comments reveal fear, not contentment.
The irony is how much PRIDE you take in being "good," which in your mind = better than everyone else.
GET OVER YOURSELF.
It's about God, not you.
Right. God will enact judgment, whatever that means. Live your life how you think it should be lived, OP. You're not in a position to judge everyone or to do God's work of making them realize their sins.
If it's THAT unbearable to you, maybe you should consider a future in the church where you'll be surrounded by like-minded folks.

That's for the practical reasons, like for someone to take care of me when I'm old or for me to carry on my family's last name. It sucks, but the current alternatives are worse. Life is scary generally. However I am not crying over singleness
It affects me like this, I pay income tax and that pays for the Boston Gay Pride celebration. If I owned a business and refused to refer to Laura and Jane and wives I could get sued. In that same business if a gay man applied for the job and I didn't hire him for the same reason you wouldn't hire a pedophile, I could lose my business. My faith is publicly mocked on television where in a different time those people would be burned at the stake. In the summer time when I go outside I basically have to cover my eyes because people think it's okay to be naked and I don't need to see that.
Well, I can't help you there because I'm one of those that believe two humans have the right to love each other. Love is beautiful and it makes no difference to me if it's between two men or two women, as long as it's consenting adults.
Maybe my acceptance of that has something to do with me being happy for them and living my generally pleasant life? Everyday is beautiful when you don't look for the bad in people.
If you go outside and the majority of people are enjoying themselves, whether gay or shirtless, sorry buddy...you're the minority that's there to ruin a perfectly good time. Go find somewhere to live where you go outside to straight folks covered in clothing all the time. Those places are out there waiting for you.
OP, you really need to talk to a priest... someone with years of training in Catechism and who knows and studies Cannon Law. I think you are getting some things wrong and making incorrect assumptions and I have to wonder if this is making you suffer scrupulosity--which is something Catholics should avoid. It takes away your peace... and what is the absence of peace?
there is never a need to direct a post directly at me
i am making general opinions and if it doesnt apply to you then noone should take offense
i do understand that "marriage" is a touchy subject for most women as it is a lifelong dream of theirs that was conditioned into them since they were yay high
i understand, its very hard to deprogram people after so much intense programming. trust me i have tried to deprogram many women and all i get are a bunch of syntax errors
some of those command lines with text like "romantic" "white picket fence" "2.5 kids" "monogamy" "rose petals"
all that nonsense is just hard coded and very difficult to delete

I'm confused. How is someone supposed to respond to your posts with out directing a post at you? HOw is that offensive or an indication that offense was taken. When people have discussions - they address each other directly.
"Marriage" isn't a touchy subject. I love my marriage - and so does my husband. He wanted to get married just as much as I did. If someone doesn't want to get married - they don't have to. It doesn't affect me one way or the other.
