I am married to an amazing man and physician who cried when he told our 6 year old that he had to cancel on her classroom visit for the second time because he got called into work on his day off, again. While I miss talking to him, I also would prefer the nonverbal stuff sometimes too. Here are my thoughts as someone who grew up with a non-mormon father and as someone who married a non-mormon girl. But, if ever were there were a time to be overly cautious it's with this topic. Maybe it won't be a big deal. And when he's working, you should be able to connect somehow. I keep busy with my own activities, but it becomes really hard to have a date night.
After being in relationship with him for 3 years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I have a small child home full time with me, millions of miles away from any family. There is no way she will may you without you going to the temple. So, guess whatв We stopped. Trust your instincts and your spiritual promptings.
We love each other and have known each other for years. We are alone for many months at a time. Sadly, I'm not sure at this point. So that may be the end of it there.
I don't think anyone here intended a dismissal of the girl as a human being by stating such. And of course, everyone has a different experience. Patience my dear, that's what you're going to have to keep telling yourself. What do you think is a reasonable expectation for how much time you will spend together, how often you will talk, etc.
