So my church and I seem to be running into a mild issue. I don' know, maybe i'm over thinking this one. My wife died a few years ago, understandable my brain is all over the place currently. But it seems like the church i go to is already talking about me getting remarried, etc. I decided to get a replica ring because my old one was damaged and thought why not? But the church seems to not have been a fan, because most people did not appreciate me putting on a wedding ring as a widower, it was met with either silence, or complete apathy. And mentioning her is also weird, as if im never supposed to talk about her or something. But i still love my wife, even if she isn't here physically. So now my brain is completely confused by what im supposed to do. I tried suppression but it feels like that made things worst, but being honest with my feelings is also not working.

I think the problem can really be summarized by greed masking as religious virtue. It took me so long to understand this, but the church members are incredibly selfish, but mask it by simply claiming religion tolerance and advancement of faith. One of them is time, they seem to suck up as much of it as possible, and not putting your foot down can end up being stuck in multi hour events. At the worst part i was literally doing something every day, which became exhausting after a week.

Man, people keep making comments that I can relate to specific episodes of King of the Hill on this site.
