He totally blew me off and said "blah blah blah" and it was so early in our relationship that I was taken aback and didn't push the issue then and there. We married in early 30's. We would have a movie night at his apartment on a Saturday night and the next few days would be great. Typical American girls have the government to make them feel secure. So how do we approach saving a relationship with someone who has unrealistic expectations of what a long-term relationship looks like. He wanted our kids exposed to Christianity for intellectual reasons and likes the community. I'm sorry you may be hearing a lot of negativity from us. Nothing beats a face to face talk.
I got married so that we could build a life together. However, my situation is very different. I also didn't want to push him away by overwhelming him with talks about commitment when he's already stressed. Do you think that is too draining too. You need to disabuse them of this notion.
I've a,ready been a single parent once. She may never join the join the church. Sorry that you went through that. I've done the pre-med, med school, residency, etc. I'm telling you the spouse who stays pays a terrible price. They will teach the boys that masturbation is evil, which will cause most boys to lie about it and feel deep shame and guilt. That's probably true, and that would be a great thing for her, but they wouldn't see it that way. I let things slide often not thinking it is worth a battle.
These are also only the American statistics. But, you will probably lose. If your relationship has gotten very serious, your girlfriend will probably try to find agreement in your faiths.
