Also, as Joanna points out, men and women already inhabit a separate culture. That's probably true, and that would be a great thing for her, but they wouldn't see it that way. Yet people look at me like I'm crazy. To me, life is all about growthвso ask yourselfвwill I grow more staying single and focusing my life on the church, or will I grow more branching out, looking at life from different perspectives, and allowing myself to see options I have not yet considered. I visit him every month, we managed to go on weekend trips when he's off and he's spend all his vacay time with me and his family. And if you do belong to a ward full of cretins, you must do everyone a favor and just ignore them until they go extinct. I've started dating this girl a few months ago, but it's only now that it dawned on me how hard it is to date with her crazy work schedule. I have feeling you stopped pursuing anyone unlikely to go for you. I decided to do the mormon thing and just not think about it too much right now.
Finding a person with whom your wavelength matches, and around whom you feel you can just be yourself, talk about anything, and not be worried about being judged, is not as easy as the romantic movies and TV soaps make it out to be. I feel your pain people. Eventually it turned into a sour argument. You should ask Him what you should do, as no one else can see the end from the beginning and no one else has perfect love for you and for your potential husband. Living in an interfaith, marriage can be hell. All parent-child relationships do. She, her family, and her friends all believe that she can't get into the Celestial Kingdom VIP Heaven unless she is "sealed" to a Mormon husband.
It's really cool to be able to connect with someone who shares all of those things with me. I don't really care if she's religious or not, unless she brings it up all the time or tries to convert me. And to top things off, last night I caught him cheating. You can't provide that for her so your marriage will be defective from the outset.
There is rarely minute that goes by where I am not thinking about him in some way. Never ask vague questions and give her definite options instead. Sadly, the general consensus of "convert or nope out" sounds like what will end up happening.
