I've been in a similar situation before. Doctor's often set their priorities as: When I give my husband the "busy as hell" attitude he gets worried about our relationship. If you stay together l, you are going to have to remind her of that commitment. The extent of other physical activity depends on what you both want from the relationship, though in general the Mormon Church frowns on sexual contact even beyond intercourse. Not unless she thinks she can convert you. There's a different kind of balance, but that doesn't mean that there's no balance. Children thrive on clarity and consistency.




Two people can be as completely different as it is possible to be and respect each others' beliefs. Feel guilty I brought children into this loneliness They know NO different though. The ones who already had concerns start questioning. Maybe there is wisdom behind some of the peculiarities. She seems to be ok with that, and wants to continue our relationship, and also talks about wanting marriage and children, and raising those children to be mormon like her even if I'm not religious. I feel you on the loneliness.
Her Religion is more important than you will ever be Her Religion comes first and deep down, she will come to hate you for not accepting joining her religion. Her experience may or may not be typical, but it is something to consider. We'll have to discuss that, now that I actually know some things about some things. It had nothing to do with our relationship and so much to do with the pressures and demands of his work. Be open-minded; accept that different people have different beliefs, and that they do not always have to match with yours. My experience has been that personal similarities and differences are a bigger element than cultural differences. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. Then here for a musical explanation of how those who yearn for a rational faith can resolve doubt through symbolical interpretation. Given the fact that doctors, esp surgeons, have a very busy life in US, it seems logical. If you and she are sealed in a Mormon temple, your children will be can be sealed to you.
When I was 19, my boyfriend considered himself an atheist. She honestly believes that she has the truth, and that if you are exposed to it enough you will recognize that. If you and she are not sealed, your children won't be sealed to either of you. Maybe that is why I am grouchy and can't cheer when my husband becomes a director for yet another board at the hospital.
