And the you've seen the CES letter. Why Mormons don't hate gay people. I remember when I had my first son via C-section, our families came to the hospital with Champagne and celebrated, not even one asked about my surgery…. And if you do belong to a ward full of cretins, you must do everyone a favor and just ignore them until they go extinct.
As much as I want to share his brilliance and compassion with the world, I know that once he makes that connection with someone's sick parent, it is easily hrs less of our family time, and he won't even be treating them. I am a 20 year old premed student and have been in a relationship for three years. Marry a person based on his character, not his religion. Joanna has written a good answer here. It's tough to date a med student let alone a resident. This woman has already given two full years fully devoted to the institution without question. A lot of advice I get from others is that you need to build up hobbies and activities of your own so that I am not just waiting for him to give attention and have time for me. I was sure I was just over sensitive until I read your posts. Cousin the same age who just got married has known her husband 6 months.
Then, do any of the above morsels of advice matter. For example,is it reasonable to expect sex 1x a week. She has to come to the realization that the church may not be infallible, it can't be forced on her or proven to her. Not every LDS person does, unfortunately. You'll have to get use to the running late, the tire man, weeks without communication, dinner alone, and unanswered texts and phone calls. When I acquired a personal testimony of the gospel as a teen, and made my own decisions regarding my faith, I felt very alone. But I believe, doctor or not, a relationship is all about supporting one another and making sacrifices.
We go for hikes with the dogs and bike rides but I feel so lonely and it breaks my heart every time I have to leave his house because I know that I won't see him for a week or more. I know from my own experience that God has the answers and that He speaks to those individuals who humbly seek Him. I would never convert. 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 find it's helpful to focus on the fact that it's the job that demands so much of him, rather than him simply opting out of time spent with us. I'm dating a lovely guy who is in his first year of medical residency. My youngest starts Kindergarten next fall. I was the bishops' daughter who went to BYU but didn't go on a mission because I was already married with a 10 month old by my 21st birthday. Its not only adultry.
