Should I get rebaptized. Mormonism is a religion that's as manipulative as it is comforting. He's usually trying to catch up on sleep working on a presentation, patient notes, etc I know communication is key, but it's helpful to know that others are going through the same experience. Do you drink alcohol. Hence the suspicious quotes around "adequately. I was off travelling the world when I met and fell madly in love with a deployed Marine. She likely believes that her time as a missionary was preparation for marriage. In high demand" I would be out the door.
I would have been deeply insulted if anyone talked about me the way people are talking about this girl He needs to tell her there is a no chance he will convert, that he is not comfortable with his children being raised Mormon if he isn'tthat she cannot ever expect a temple marriage with him. You should take your cues from your partner, not from documentaries or this sub, on whether your partner's views and actions are manipulative, brainwashy and damaging. I know after residency he would choose a flexible job which would allow for the most family time.

I worked my butt off and supported our family through internship, residency and two fellowships always looking forward to the day when he would finally be in practice and things would get 'easier". It has been a couple of months since I have seen him or even really talked to him. I can handle a lot of daily mindless, nonverbal things, like cuddling for a bit before bed, but phone calls and even texting can be exhausting in a way that is very difficult to explain. She is showing a common attitude of distrust for "anti-mormon" material. But he has been great till now.
I was spiritually prepared to receive the answer that I sought. I decided that if the church taught the general principle that couples should be married in the temple and that was not possible for me if I married this girlthen I should see if my choice would be an exception to the rule. It has always been like this. You may look on here and see all of us, but a lot of us got out much much older. That is her ultimate goal when it comes to dating and choosing potential mates. He totally blew me off and said "blah blah blah" and it was so early in our relationship that I was taken aback and didn't push the issue then and there. She won't marry you. That is a goal worth fighting for.
