I just returned from a difficult meeting with my psychotherapist and felt depressed-then I found this amazing blog. I think people get carried away with the whole social status of a Doctor which is really unnecessary. My father told him it's never too late to leave whether we are married with kids or just engaged. This can keep the relationship from getting too exclusive, and spending time with more people can give you a wider variety of things to do. He is coming to church with me and our daughter for the ward Christmas program. And after years of this struggle, will your love for him and desire to avoid the hassle cause you to reduce your activation. Let her go right now then.
And of course, everyone has a different experience. I am hopeful and do feel some healing. She is in pretty deep and culture is a powerful force. I am hopeful and do feel some healing. But the idea of marrying my husband felt right from almost the get-go and, my patriarchal blessing made so much more sense. After med school, after residency, after setting up a practice.
It won't be easy. God will help you both work this out. Move on, but after thanksgiving. If not watch it.
You are brave and good people and seem to be raising wonderful children who will be lights for everyone with whom they come in contact. I wanted that full support though I am certainly not saying that marrying a Mormon ensures that. I am a something male. It gets better towards the later part of the whole deal, but it's always going to be kind of crazy busy. I have been dating a neuro surgeon that has his own practice for a few months now. Trust me, I too tried to make it work with my very Mormon also returned missionary ex-girlfriend. I got to thinking about how I and others in my ward might react if a same sex couple attended church and how those views might WILL, fingers crossed change over the next decade.
