Dozens of missionaries have told me that the gender ratios in other countries are far, far worse. These are things your wife may consider matter-of-fact and you may be surprised by if you don't discuss them now. I don't know what to really do to find time to be with him. I need suggestions to handld the neurotic behavior, ocd, and opinions. Just know that she has been indoctrinated to believe that she wont reach the highest level of heaven if she isn't married in a Mormon temple to another Mormon. Then she took a vacation to Utah and in her letter to me she stated that she had seen the Temple, and I never heard from her again.
So while I believe that, in fact, non-celestial families still can be together forever, I also think that there must be great merit to qualifying for the whole Enchiladaвwhich I perhaps cannot fully appreciate at this time. Thank you so much for posting your thoughts. I can only say that I was that girl, 10 years ago. I'm firmly in the RUN camp. It sucks but ultimately what Mormonism does to people is it makes them value adherence to church more than their relationships with people. You will always be second place. So, I can only imagine the stories you hear. Don't wait for it to eventually fall apart or hope that she will change.
Take the time he actually can give you, and appreciate it. It's unfair to assume that she feels that way without asking her. I am about to get into a relationship with a doctor.
Welcome to the future. I'm not going to live my life in regret I know it sounds terrible but you gotta do what you gotta do. As time has gone by I realized that the opinons of others is not important to me and oddly enough those who did not originally approve have had their hearts and minds changed by the love my husband shows me, our daughter, and the members of my family. And I don't mean my good friend Satan. Put that in perspective before you try to equate your struggle to his. It's like watching somone lose themselves in an abusive relationship. Propagandists in the media throw around the word patriarchy as if it is synonymous with anything male.
