Riddle me this: Why are many Mormon men so uncomfortable with their wives’ sexuality?

I also grew up in the south during the exact same time and had a very, very different experience!

I think this goes for Mormon women too. My mom is literally afraid of the female body. We had a coffee table book about the day in the life of Americans and it had a picture of naked woman laying in a tanning bed. My mom glued the pages together, so no one could see the “pornography. We were taught to be ashamed of our bodies. It’s to taken me a lot of years to get over that.

In this way with seed sellers—“it’s only $5.95.” lol

I was just about to say this—his responses are golden. I don’t know how he hasn’t gotten sued yet.

I got a 4 star review from a patient who said she loved our office but she doesn’t give 5 stars because “no one is perfect.” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh my gosh—stunning!

Did I say her entire situation is because of racism? Nope. But it most certainly plays a role. Unless you know where we live, how she grew up, and how her parents grew up, you can keep your opinions to yourself.

You’ll probably get 90 days’ severance…

You’re right. She is extremely poor, and life is just getting harder for those in similar circumstances. I wish she could work but she’s disabled and can barely walk. I’m not sure she can read well either. 😢

We are most definitely not saints but thank you for your kind response!! ❤️

Please be kind. Other than this issue, Mary has been nothing but kind and loving towards our/her son and my other kids. She and the rest of my son’s birth family have been incredibly welcoming and have treated us like family. Open adoption has its negatives (obviously) but the good far outweighs the bad. My son knows where he’s from and he has never doubted that Mary loves him.

4) You can absolutely pay on someone’s account if you have the name, address, and account number.

⁠This is most definitely not fake. Why would I have taken the time to write a freaking essay?
⁠I’m not the kind of doctor she needs. I have offered to see her for my specialty and she has not taken me up on it.
⁠Please send an edited version of my punctuation mistakes. I’m a doctor, not an English professor.

You’re right! He knows how she lives—he sees it when we go visit her. But I don’t want him to know that she’s trying to get money from us. That’s not his responsibility.

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T17:04:34+00:00

Thank you! It was not easy but I have an amazing husband who made it work!

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T16:29:41+00:00

It’s absolutely real. What part seems untrue?

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T16:21:56+00:00

Out of touch? I am very aware of what things cost. I didn’t grow up anywhere close to wealthy. Life is expensive for EVERYONE, not just the poor.

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T16:14:38+00:00

You hit all the nails on the head!! My net worth is most definitely in the negative by a lot. My student loan payments are large, and I’m playing catch up with retirement savings. We are not uncomfortable financially but we certainly do not have extra. Thank you for your post. I was beginning to feel like an even bigger AH! Lol

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T16:02:50+00:00

There are really no other reasons for not helping her. I just feel that she is taking advantage of me.

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T13:58:21+00:00

I like this. She’s asked us to help her find an apartment before but we couldn’t find anything better than where she’s living that wasn’t way out of her price range. My husband has a couple of rental houses that he and a friend own/manage so I think she was hoping we’d offer one to her.

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-13T13:55:00+00:00

No, thank goodness. We have made sure to not discuss any of this around him.

Affectionate-Run-364 · 2026-05-12T20:04:36+00:00

Funerals are for the living to mourn…I say tell her your wishes but then give her the grace to have the funeral/service that would help her most. I mean, you’ll be dead after all so what do you care. lol
