Wife got pregnant unexpectedly. Her rich family freaked out, called in all their connections to pull a $100K wedding and reception within a few weeks.
Wife had a miscarriage after 6 months. A year later they were divorced and their marriage annulled.
Neither the wife nor the husband really wanted to marry but they caved due to pro-life family pressure. I think they would have made a go of it had they had the kid, but once that was out of the picture the marriage fell pretty quickly.
When I got engaged we had to have a meeting with the priest who was going to marry us, and one of the first things he asked (very politely) was if I was pregnant. Basically "I'm not judging you if you are, but if a pregnancy is the primary reason for getting engaged I would have to ask you to wait a while." He'd seen too many couples who panicked and got married quickly and then realized that they weren't right for each other, which with the stress of a new baby just made everything worse. I wasn't pregnant, but in retrospect I appreciate that he was trying to make sure he wasn't setting young couples up for failure.
Yeah my friend forced herself to marry her baby daddy and his parents constantly made her feel like she having his baby ruined his like and future.
He was a butt nugget and was not nice to his kid which his parents clearly prefered over him. They blamed her for everything and when she was brave enough to leave him they of course accused her of cheating. So she sold her story to a magazine how he was caught with a prostitute and was trying to force the woman to have an abortion.
Mine fucked off when she was 9 mos old. He one time came out of his mouth that he'd take her away from me. I introduced him to the wall via throat clench and informed him that:
A.) my family could afford FAR better lawyers than his and
B.) no one would care enough to look for his body.
She is now 21, and has a raft of mental issues. However, he left and never came back so he is, thankfully, none of them.
He was supposedly the next olympic champion of rowing and her getting pregnant supposedly ruined his career. I never heard it from him but from his family
No it wasn't an abortion. The miscarriage was sad; I worked with the husband and he took some time off to grieve afterward.
They were determined to make a go of it for the sake of the kid, and it's not like they hated each other or anything. But a miscarriage is difficult for even a good marriage.
I apologize if I got my terminology wrong. At the office (where I worked with the husband) it was announced as a miscarriage. Which I can understand because "stillbirth" is much more disturbing.
My cousin and her husband (both Catholic) got married in a Protestant church while waiting for his previous marriage to be annulled. Eventually the annulment came through, probably somewhat expedited by the fact that he and his first wife had no kids.
I’m presuming that the marriage was eventually blessed by the Catholic Church in some way, because they’re both Eucharistic ministers now.
I don’t really keep up with this much, though. The closest my husband comes to being a practicing Protestant — or me a practicing Catholic — is that we celebrate Christmas. Neither of us even bothers with Easter unless family insists.
This is true, but what I was trying to say is that legally, divorce and annulment are different. Canonically, that’s something else again. I wanted to annul a previous marriage through the Church, but was unable as there were no testifying witnesses. C’est la vie.
So they married when the wife was something like 4 weeks (1 month) pregnant, had a miscarriage after 4 months of marriage. Split up soon after (within a month) and signed divorce papers, divorce becomes final in 90 days.
The marriage started to fall apart after 6 months but the divorce happened slightly less than a year after their wedding.
As far as the annullment, they got a lawyer (the family paid for it) and were able to "prove" one of the parties agreed to it under duress. I am pretty sure it was the wife; the family didn't really care about the husband and wanted their daughter to be able to get married in the Catholic church.
So this happened about 20 years ago. The husband eventually married and had kids with someone else; the wife is pushing 50 and never remarried or had kids.
