Hi, guys —
I am a life long Christian who was married
for 33 years. We both lived in Georgia but
for the last 11 plus years of our marriage
my wife refused to sleep in the same room
with me. We also never had sex during that
same time frame.
In April of 2009, she moved to a Oklahoma
to work. In July, I moved to Louisiana to
work.
We have a 24-year-old daughter as well as
a 15-year-old son. The only reason I stayed
with her was for the children as she liked
to curse and belittle me in public. I am now
divorced and much happier. My question is:
- Am I able to marry a Catholic woman who
is a widow?
My ex-wife and I were not married in a church,
nor was it blessed by a church and neither
one of us was a Catholic. I have heard that
an annulment may take as long as 18 months.
Thank you,
R.W.
