Q1- Not really sure what pagan-atheism is. Is it just a mixture of the two?
Q2- Is not using a phone part of your beliefs?
Q3- I don't know about the furniture, you might be sensitive, we all are.. especially when it comes to personal information posted about ourselves. I don't know how "dirty" the furniture is, but you do what you can pretty much.. but there's also the fact that you can do as you plan and not buy the charity-based furniture.
I don't know exactly how the charitys run--but yeah, normally something with the word charity in front of it has it there for a reason. I don't think thats any reason for people to give you an attitude or be ignorant, but you should probably assume its of mediocre to poor quality at least. What people say about what you should do for your partner is nonsense--but i'd do whatever it takes so that he's not the lone bread winner (not saying thats possible for you at the moment). Its just that by not being married you have no guarantees atm and i've seen an example recently with someone whos been with their bf 7 years and had to move out.
(I keep my fingers crossed for you guys tho and am not trying to put negative thoughts in your head about him)
