I told her that I want to only be friends. We tried discussing his list a few times, but it only ended in arguments. Maybe watch "Going Clear" with her. I know you love her but is it worth it. I wish I had not ignored the signs whiles we dated but now I am out of energy. Her experience may or may not be typical, but it is something to consider. Don't expect this to be like the others.
I recently left my family, friends and state to move across the country to be with my best friend and boyfriend during his residency. Lots of good hearty healthy food. Is it naive to think we could raise our children to fully participate in two different faiths. I do nearly all of the parenting fortunately we only have one child -- we both agree that this lifestyle is too demanding for more and find that my husband's crazy hours and the energy drain of the job make me yearn to connect with other wives that relate. I can't emphasize this strongly enough.
We had lots of sex and fun. I usually mean exactly what I say. While I miss talking to him, I also would prefer the nonverbal stuff sometimes too. I am an MD studying for my usmle step2. If your date has been an active member of the Church who is following these moral guidelines, then she will not be willing to involve herself in a sexual relationship with you. I wouldn't purposefully subject my daughters to that BS. If you have a literal belief that you need to have a temple marriage to go to the celestial kingdom, you will always keep a secret desire to convert your spouse. I remember when my ex and I had invited friends to our house for a 4th of July dinner and had spent a lot of money and time getting ready. No nagging, no emotional neediness, etc.
Does she understand that for a long-term relationship to succeed that the partners must treat each other as equals. Mormons are very strict about avoiding sex outside of marriage. I am dating a wonderful man, amazing. This makes them overwhelmingly successful wives and mothers. Look, as a shelia, its no different from a bloke. One red flag I have for Mormon girls is if they drink coffee.
