Also, I know a bunch of Mormons that say they are, but don't act like it. He also has sacrificed a more easy lifestyle. I have been dating a great guy for about a year now, and we started dating shortly after my parents died of cancer. Our relationship also hasn't really progressed-- we're still only spending the same amount of time together that we were a few months ago. My ex-boyfriend and I dated for four and a half years and recently broke up.
Where do you find Mormon girls. The misogyny is deep in the Mormon church. That's our best option. If you have a literal belief that you need to have a temple marriage to go to the celestial kingdom, you will always keep a secret desire to convert your spouse.
When I was a teen, my first boyfriend was a convert and people would comment on that instead of how nice he was to me. I feel he thinks we cannot be two masters in this boat and if I am this ambituous we may never have time to have and be a family. See where it goes. But we Always had time for each other. And of course, everyone has a different experience. He told me that there is nothing in the world that is more gratifying. Hire out as many household chores as you can afford housekeeping, lawn care etc. There's no way a TBM is dating you if she knows about your Lucifer kick.
I would never change my decision to marry him. I know that she's even getting her stuff ready to go on her mission. If it were me, I would be flattered they had that much time to spend on me. Pay for the first few dates. Tips Mormon girls are much like other girls their age, in that they want guys to respect them and treat them well. At the end of the day, nothing I say or do can help him see this. He was funny, family-oriented, obviously very smart, etc.
