In the meantime, she will probably view you as being less than a Mormon man who is a faithful priesthood holder. Will you be open to me teaching my children my athiest point of view. I hope that makes sense. But we'd like to have children soon, so I'm looking forward to reading through the archives of your blog to see how you've made it work. I would do it all over again and thank my lucky stars that I found this man, that he loves, and that I love him.
It isn't money that he is just throwing around on useless things, its for dinner movies normal date stuff that people do over a course of a month and we cram into one weekend. I made a conscious decision to marry outside the church for my own reasons. How is that gonna work. Do you think I need to have some sort of commitment from him before I can make that decision. Mormonism is a religion that's as manipulative as it is comforting. Even after being in a relationship I have to take all the decision alone. You've all been so helpful. Edit - I just read through some of your other comments.
I was recently married to my husband in the Twin Falls, Idaho temple for time and all eternity. Nothing fixed that issue in me as fast as being almost inseparably bound to a woman that pushed back and kicked screaming against the pricks every time I wanted to make some sort of spiritual effort. I used to be religious when I was a kid. Some of the most wonderful lesbian sex I've ever had was with a TBM girl. Being married and raising a family can be very difficult if the two of you disagree about important issues like religion. They seriously have movies about it. You are too young to deal with this. As a man who married a non-Mormon woman, my story has a slightly different view point, but it comes down to essentially the same principles.
Make an honest effort, and see if you reach the walk-away point. It doesn't help to know that he is terrible at being alone. At parties, they drink soda and play board games. We are still struggling to put our life back together for the sake of our marriage and our 3 boys, but it is a difficult path. I have many friends and members of my family who married within the church and later divorced. Whatever you do, just don't let on to your child ren that you and their father are in disagreement. I feel unwanted most of the time but I know he tries to make time.
