Maybe you do, too. I let her know it's not healthy to expect someone else to change - we can only control ourselves and not others. Go miserably explore a foreign country by myself wishing my husband was with me. My next serious boyfriend was raised Methodist but considered himself non-denominational Christian and people would comment on that instead of his character. So that's something I can't say is good or bad. Hence the suspicious quotes around "adequately. It did not go well. Given the fact that doctors, esp surgeons, have a very busy life in US, it seems logical.
In retrospect, I believe I was being led to my current spouse. I keep the positive thought that it will get better. Despite whatever may come our way, this relationship is the most important and even though it's forever it needs to be nourished. Though our husband's are different we are very similar. Luckily, this seems to work out. It would be foolish to acquiesce a Mormon girl to drink coffee. I knew a couple in my last ward who got married in their mid 20's. If she is as real deal as you say she is, she believes this also. She seems to be ok with that, and wants to continue our relationship, and also talks about wanting marriage and children, and raising those children to be mormon like her even if I'm not religious. I will keep reading, but it looks like most of the stuff about racism and polygamy has been "adequately" explained away by updates to LDS.
My beliefs have changed several times in my life, but not those things, so my interfaith marriage has lasted 25 years. And we are not bloody married yet. Religious affiliation is not the only criteria when selecting a spouse. I definitely don't want to lead her on. Mormons think when you die, based on if you were a good person cough cough atheists you go to spirit "paradise" where they will teach you the gospel. We are indeed in two different places. But there also are alot of committed hardworking men who take on a hard job and do their best to juggle work and family.
In fact, your GF is probably one of the countless Mormon women who get married only to find out they have zero sex drive because of what they learned growing up. The sad part is that he does not understand what I go through or if I complain or try to make him understand about what's going on at home or my feelings. And what is even worse, is to think of him alone in our house Christmas Day while I work a 24 hr in-house call shift. Talk about issues with Jehovah's Witnesses etc. Which is the highest place in heaven aka celestial kingdom.
