What a fascinating response as always. She got engaged 3 months later. Did my heart good.
I was so pleased to read that all Doctor's wives are like myself. Although I do want a long term relationship and to eventually start a family I am NOT going to give up my dream of becoming a physician. Yet another reason I respect doctors so much-their emotional strength.
As a man who married a non-Mormon woman, my story has a slightly different view point, but it comes down to essentially the same principles. In fact, your GF is probably one of the countless Mormon women who get married only to find out they have zero sex drive because of what they learned growing up. She is considered "an old maid" by Mormon standards, so she may be willing to marry you--hoping you will convert someday --but she will constantly be reminded that your marriage is inferior to the "Eternal Families" of sealed Mormons, and she will fear dying and never seeing her loved ones again. I believe that there will be a lot more mercy than justice being dished out at the judgment. Do you know his work hours, break time during work and where does he take break from work. If I'm focused on something like reading a textbook, or working on some problem then I might still think of him vaguely but I'm not going to whip out my phone or go and see himI'm busy. I appreciate all the replies explaining the extent of the aggravation and pain I likely will face. Look, as a shelia, its no different from a bloke. Don't let her try to bring in the missionaries to explain; remind her that she is an RM and knows all they do and probably much more. If anyone interested in dating a doctor and try their luck,you can visit No-Scrubs a special social network just for doctors and physicians.
December 19, OK, you're off the hook, mine was in the 70's too, but I hadn't been to CA by then. Doesn't leave many options here though but better than constantly having them push the church on you until you either give in and convert or break up. You are commenting using your WordPress. As more and more people marry out of their faith, the subject of interfaith marriage will become more and more important. Someone already said it, but unless you are planning on converting, this is a dead end relationship. I have been happily married to a non-mormon for 20 years. If you are not creative just copy love poems from famous romantics. And to clarify, what I mean by physical demand is something that requires energy I don't have, like having sex or going for a walk. Secondly, if he's still in residency, he has to prevail and give it his all. He was the best decision I have ever made in my life, hands down.
