But that is a nice gesture, and he will appreciate it. Amasa enjoys art, music, and traveling. First of all, Mormons are people so there is a spectrum of what they actually believe on a personal level, and what beliefs are most important to them.

I completely relate to all you've written; many of us have come to see Mormonism for what it is, and the severe damage it does to human brains. And frankly, you feel like such a loser. I hope he wised up. Yes, do sever the relationship. Hey, thanks for the info. This can keep the relationship from getting too exclusive, and spending time with more people can give you a wider variety of things to do. If you do attend parties like that, expect her to drink 7-Up and volunteer as the designated driver, and to be completely repulsed if you drink too much. Once you both die, you will not be married in the afterlife and she will get assigned to be the polygamous wife of someone else. As the patriarchal leader, it will be up to you to figure it out and to dispel her unrealistic fantasies.
If you like your regular fix of alcohol or nicotine, then dating a Mormon probably isn't a good idea. From someone else in the medical field - a nightly phone call would be seriously draining, even if it only lasted a few minutes. Like you I grew up with and taught the standard LDS beliefs about temple marriage, celestial kingdom, etc. It has made me more creative in utilising time alone that it is sometimes preferred. I follow a blogger who is a nurse and her stories are gut-wrenching. If they believe their religion, they will ultimately cause you pain and disappointment.

You can also attend their singles conferences, or participate in social activities organized by the Church. And if you do belong to a ward full of cretins, you must do everyone a favor and just ignore them until they go extinct. The misogyny is deep in the Mormon church. As Joanne mentioned, should you marry interfaith, you will have lots of help from fellow ward members on converting your spouse. I don't think we could have a real conversation about those points either. That deal with polygamy explained.
