I feel as if I am a single parent. He spends about 80 hours a week at the hospital. About eight years ago, I dated a Radiology resident and I vaguely remember it being intense, but this rises to a whole new level. I don't think I could let that happen. I have finally realized that the church is fake and I'm so grateful that I got a second chance with this guy. I knew this bothered me, but it wasn't until I read this section that it hit much how much it bothered me and how alone I feel. Observe the suttle loony behavior of the family during thanksgiving. Personally I have a rule that I will not enter a relationship with a believing Mormon. She will be surprised that a non-Mormon holds the same values she does and respect you.

If you are a believer and are willing to go, then well and good. Have those candid conversations with HIM, ponder, and listen closely for the guidance of the Holy Ghost. I intend to spend some quality time in the temple, with my bishop, and with close family and friends as I think and pray my way through this decision, but I would also value your insights into this. I am dating a wonderful man, amazing. Masculine attributes attract healthy, beautiful women, no matter where they come from. Is he willing to, nay, interested. But now, we embrace our spiritual differences. If he's in year 1 of the residency, he's got probably years left finishing residency then fellowship.
Why prophets are awesome. My father told him it's never too late to leave whether we are married with kids or just engaged. I know, I know, this is the last thing you want to hear.
