I don't want to come off as needy or clingy but I've never dated someone in this profession before. Not the end of the world. I am the wife of a general surgeon in his mid 50s. After his mission he lost faith on everything for some reasons.
Sorry you had to go through this, but it's for the best if she's about to leave on a mission. I made a conscious decision to marry outside the church for my own reasons. I entertained without him, but with frequent phone calls, lol. God roots for both our teamsвthe hopeful screw-ups and the straights. I know a lot of Mormons who were also not raised on fear and guilt and strict gender rolesвbut I was, as were many of my peers. That sentence strikes me as rather bizarre--it seems to be alluding to a causal link between academics and being "emotionally immature," as you put it. I haven't ever felt this way about anyone and yea that is a little unnerving in by itself but then add the not texting for several days and not seeing him that often and you cant help but wonder A few of my friends have flat out stopped talking to me because of him. At 30, you just give up. Your probably thinking of a sect of the Mormons, I'm sure there is one like that. She encourages me to develop my skills and talents, and provides an example in several of those areas.
Listen to the still small voiceв. I am worried I won't be able to give him my everything, and the wonderful years of commitment and time spent with him will one day only be memories: Becoming a doctor is my dream, and I have worked incredibly hard thus far. You will always be second place. It sounds like she's already considered marrying you and raising children in the church even with you being out of the church. Through this, if you run into unforeseen issues like sold out movies or you cannot get a seat at a restaurant, you will always have a backup plan. I am giving him all of those things. We've only been dating for a short time. If someone is going to cheat on you, it has nothing to do with their profession. Honestly, I have given up on lds men as a single 25 year old.
It gives people a sense of purpose, while pressuring them to be 'good' by their book. On her mind, her eternal salvation depends on marrying a worthy priesthood holder. If your doctor husband says "impossible", ignore him. If your doctor husband says "impossible", ignore him. I used to be religious when I was a kid.
