He knows that is a possibility. I'm doing the best I can, I try to travel to visit family but again it would be just me and my son. Having said that, I believe strongly that it takes a special individual who can remain active in the church and have a non-traditional marriage. I am engaged to a doctor who will complete his residency in 2 years. If you are willing to wait, then well and good; otherwise, it is best to move on. He ended up cheating with one of the nurses and his wife left him. Pants-to-Church Sunday left me a bit bruised. When he comes home he's so exhausted and just wants to veg out and this leaves me alone again. He did however, have the night shift and then had research to do today. And he is reading one of my favorite Buddhist-based books, in an effort to understand my beliefs.
I still cry every night for himbecause I love himprobably always will. Basically, these are long-distance relationship tricks. Not all of us are able to achieve that ideal but we are to strive for it. Without going into too much personal detail, I received a very real, strong prompting that I should marry this girl. Despite whatever may come our way, this relationship is the most important and even though it's forever it needs to be nourished. I'm afraid he's going to be more in love with work than me and a family.
He is on call ALL the time, he arrives home 9 pm and barely sit down for diner and then gets called away, then again 2 am heart attack. We have 5 kids and my eldest wants to become a doctor. Additionally, you need to take stock of your beliefs and acknowledge they may change overtime. As Joanne mentioned, should you marry interfaith, you will have lots of help from fellow ward members on converting your spouse. It's the sort of super dismissive "all women are the same" attitude that I learned in church and left to get away from.
Ive realized for the most part they are just too proudful and do not treat women very get. At first it didn't bother me, but after a while I started feeling more like a booty call and less like a SO. And your needs essentially have to be silenced a lot of the times. Thanks for springing that one on me OB. It's really cool to be able to connect with someone who shares all of those things with me. Thanks for the comment. It's a less common occurrence, but it happens.
