Love Notes for Him. I have only been living with him for a month. I have always worked full-time and no employers ever give you any lenience. This guy was orbiting so strongly that he changed his religion before they were even dating. It's a heart-wrenching story.
Is it really worth it to give up what I want out of a relationship because its hard to balance studying which I understand is stressful and being with the person who makes you happy. Be direct and get your needs met. OP Have you seen the Brother Jake videos. If you think your girlfriend's resistance to being exposed to anything critical of Mormonism sounds cult-like, you are right. When he is doing these things, he gets really upset with me if I try to talk to him because he's busy.

As someone starting residency next year and whose father and brother went through it, and whose girlfriend is about to start it I have to say that you can't be mad at him for not sacrificing something to spend time with you - there is literally nothing else to sacrifice; residency is called residency because the doctors used to live in the hospitals, and it was akin to monks in monastery. I have had more than one girl, who I had definite chemsitry with, who the girl really liked me and we had deep and intense conversations as well as a real physichal connection to. Up to this point, she has just assumed that all atheists are innately evil people. I've luckily broken down my GF's defenses about the church a little bit. He has let me be a stay-at-home mother while trying to launch my own business and has offered love and support every step of the way.
By that I mean that we ought to consider simply marrying within the faith and in the temple for all the reasons that people have given. Today, at my ward sacrament meeting, in the back section of the chapel where I was sitting, all the women except one were Mormon wives in interfaith families. Just an idea, I have no idea what would actually work for her.
