We are doing long distance at the moment and I was wondering if you have any advice. You have to make the decision as to what you want your home and your children to have in that home. You really don't know how great you have it. She honestly believes that she has the truth, and that if you are exposed to it enough you will recognize that.
Before I met my husband I had dated quite a few members and some relationships were quite serious but I never felt right about it. I get it - he's dedicated years of his life to his craft and he has one chance to roll the dice. What would your relationship look like if you were to marry. As Joanne mentioned, should you marry interfaith, you will have lots of help from fellow ward members on converting your spouse. Maybe if I met him at another point in time, things would have worked with us. He expects perfect children who ,"will all become doctors. Be a good influence. I grew up in Utah, attended BYU, and served a mission. Anyone who's a decent human being should be able to know right from wrong and act accordingly. They will serve as a constant reminder to her that she needs to conform- and you won't be wearing any.
I'm surprised this thread is still getting replies. Be gentle with them and yourself. He was the best decision I have ever made in my life, hands down. For men, this will likely come after completing your mission trip, so in your early 20s at the earliest.
You will always be 2nd. Would love to join. Someone already said it, but unless you are planning on converting, this is a dead end relationship. Don't put them through that either.
