cousin's husband just told me that IF couples shouldn't marry

Oh. My. God.  my brother posted something about gay marriage (he's for it) and our super religious cousin-in-law starts chiming in with his 2 cents and how marriage is for procreation, etc...so i asked about couples with IF and he said "no. not at all." 

about to lose it on him

Re: cousin's husband just told me that IF couples shouldn't marry

  • just to play devils advocate, but if he is super religious, then no sex before marriage correct? then how would you know if you were going to deal with IF until after your married? so then you should get divorced? cause that is also against the church-

  • The the blessing and curse of FB. You learn how ignorant people you know/are close to are. And you learn how ignorant people you know/arre close to are. Double edged sword to say the least.

    I never knew the ginormous amount of ignorant people I grew up with because stuff never came up in conversation. But by the stuff they put out there as status updates and groups they join, I feel like they could be heading up the racial revolution. I'd be sent to the ovens for sure.

  • all i can do is laugh and call him a moron over that. there are just too many holes in that theory. what a twatwaffle.

    i just asked that LOL. i'm dying to hear what he has to say.

    i knew he was super religious and didn't agree with gay marriage, etc but to have him say that even IF straight couples shouldn't marry just blows my mind.  good thing i never really liked his wife anyway ;)

  • and this is his response...

    •  Ok...trying to understand this. So my friends get married, want to start a family but find out they're suffering from infertility. Should they be forced to divorce??

    •  No, infertility isn't a persons fault. I know several people who've struggled with this and chose to adopt or go to an infertility clinic. It's not uncommon for woman, even if it's only temporary, to have problems. Some have adopted and later on became pregnant with their own. What I'm referring to is same sex couples who cannot procreate because they're incompatible. Does that make sense?

  • The church used to grant annulments for it.

    But, yes, i totally disagree.

    right, it is NEVER the man's fault.

     

  • He needs a throat punch.  Oh wait - no nevermind a swift kick in the nuts so the can't use them anymore.
    Where in world would you like me to ship you? image My boys - I am so screwed in about 7 years. What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? LIPSTICK !
  • they can't procreate because they're incompatible? what does that even mean? like, the girls eggs and the boys sperm don't like each other? but would like someone elses? or because it would result in a mixed race child? or because it'd result in a kid that needed glasses? lol WTF?!?!! hahahha
  • I'd just block him. I wouldn't want to give an attention wh0re what he craves so badly.

    can you ask him if men should stop having sex with their wives once they reach menopause? because then there's no chance of procreation - which means old people sex is a no-no.

  • i don't get it at all.  i'm actually not even FB friends with him.  all of this is going back and forth on my brother's page.  and i rarely get involved in these kinds of conversations but i had to chime in to this one.

  • although i agree that he is just craving attention, i need to know what incompatible means...

    and then erica's question too...

    Wait, doesn't that mean "old people marriage is a no-no"?

    I am guessing incompatible means P into V is compatible V plus V is not?

    (sorry I'm not sure what words the nest will censor)

    Duh. When my eggs dry up i'm checking into an all girls nursing home and sending DH to an all mens nursing home. no more funny business for us! no way, no how! we'll continue our relationship via letter.

    yup. no old people marriage. or sex for gratification, no handy hand, no bj's, no natural family planning. sex is purely for baby makin' don'tcha-know

    "does that make sense" I can almost hear a tone of voice to that question

    But that isnt what he 1st said, you asked if couples with IF should marry and he said No, not at all.

    I cant stand people who are so overly religious it clouds common sense, and even worse is a overly religious back peddler

    How about we all stop worrying about what goes on between adult people & their private parts (BCPs & gay marriage) and focus on what we can do to turn this country around for our kids. ugh, I am cranky today

  • How would you even know you are IF before trying? And according to that logic, he and his wife should only have sex when TTC. No sex otherwise. .

    That being said - that man is a complete ahole and moron. I'd defriend him just for that comment
