I don't know if it's worse for us: For me, it's been an inner battle with myself, should I follow my husband or should he follow me as I am one year ahead. And as many posters stated, it is something that needs to be seriously discussed with your potential partner. I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue the relationship, but I'd only recommend marrying her if she leaves the church because she discovers it's not true. Yet others are really great human beings.
It's up to you to decide whether or not this is someone worth waiting for. It's also possible that deep down she's like many of us here, and her shelf will break and she'll want out. So I'm wondering if things will ever change or if this is just one of the drawbacks of dating a doctor. I'm married an interventional cardiologist; and I wish I only knew 5 years ago before she started her fellowship what the heck I was signing up for. By the time you are done, you'll have all of the basics down and will have the framework to know what to ask next without any confusion. I would not have wanted to be dismissed as crazy and unworthy of attention when I was still a member, because it wouldn't have been true. I am a 20 year old premed student and have been in a relationship for three years. First of all, Mormons are people so there is a spectrum of what they actually believe on a personal level, and what beliefs are most important to them.
I'm glad you both have found a way to get past the incredible forces that are working against you. If this is someone you are to marry, then the rest will take care of itself. But I loved this girl more than anything in life. He did call frequently, so I don't think its a good sign that your doctor guy isn't calling. As for deciding to marry someone who is not mormon, here is how I made the decision. Or should I just run and avoid a lifetime of heartbreak. Be prepared to experience many disappointments, such as missed events, delayed arrivals and early departures due to patient needs. Have you seen southpark episode on Mormons. I think I handle the lonliness a little better than most because I was an only child and like having my alone time. Honestly, he probably is giving you as much of his free time as he can,and can't give you any more.
All the other stuffв is crap. When my husband and I were sealed, I finally understood why my Dad had been stressing this to me my entire life. She wants the captain of a ship who can direct all aspects of a relationship, including spiritual direction. I am a non-Mormon woman married to a Mormon manвwhich seems to be a less common scenario in the LDS world. If someone is going to cheat on you, it has nothing to do with their profession. Because if you can't live and let live, you both need to dive deep into this stuff and figure out what you believe and want in your life. Glad I found this post.
