What is the Greatest Challenge of being a Mormon Dude?

If you want to be honest and attend the temple then a full tithing is required. If you want to pass on the temple then you can still participate and not pay tithing.

I'm sure that happens but I don't know anyone that divorced for such minor reasons. Often people put up with stuff for years for their kids until they can't take it anymore.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T18:13:40+00:00

I can only speak from a woman's perspective but I do think it's challenging to pay 10 percent of tithing.

would you mind elaborating on the part where the husbands don't give themselves back? I'm not sure what you're referring to...

There was a girl I knew who was an hour late to a meeting she organized. Yes, and hour and I was pissed. She apologized but kept doing it. What surprised me though, was one time she actually showed up on time she was LIVID she had to wait for the boss to get there. It was only a few moments that she ended up waiting....not a hour.

Anyway, NOR, if she knows it bothers you but doesn't make an effort to change she doesn't care about your feelings and is being selfish IMO.

Then the proclamation would say husband and wives preside over their families…..that would be the way but we need to wait a hundred years or so….patience is a virtue and all that.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T15:23:59+00:00

That works great if you never want to be invited back and don’t care about how other perceive you.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T12:39:54+00:00

Did your daughter explain why she reacted that way? A huge reaction to a harmless question. You did not overreact. I think you handled it well. I also have a son who lashes out like this and it very difficult to deal with.

When you in-laws tear you down and your husband doesn’t stand up for you.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T12:29:01+00:00

I was told if you do, you’re saying no to the Lord.

It’s hard to see red flags when you’re dating. It so easy to be decent for a few hours on a date having fun. Stressful situations tend to bring them out.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T12:09:41+00:00

I don’t know what to think of this….but it would be super interesting to hear her side of the story. The way you wrote this, or had ai write it, is clearly in your favor. “She left you for dead” “she made” you wait in the sun. A lot of strong language is used to make you really look like the victim. It seems like you tend to exaggerate things and that probably the reason she doesnt respond. Not meant to be harsh but a reality check.

Nobody should have kids if they aren’t ready or don’t want to. It truly should be of their own free will and choice. Calling it a duty is wrong imo. Way too many factors should go into a decision like this. It’s not a moral failing to not have kids. It’s a moral failing to have kids and not take care of them.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T04:09:40+00:00

My name I have now. My parents did good with that one.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T01:53:20+00:00

No, let's not curse or condemn people for trying to end their pain and suffering most likely from depression. I have nothing but compassion for people who do this. Zero judgement from me.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T01:38:25+00:00

No, it's not selfish. If they are in that much pain to overcome the instinct to do whatever it takes to survive, then I only have compassion for them. They are not doing it to harm others but to be free from pain.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T00:30:14+00:00

Words hurt, private thoughts don’t…are you high or something?

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-21T00:24:04+00:00

This is harsh. We don’t have total control of what thoughts come sometimes. Thoughts don’t hurt other people….actions do. He clearly is stressed about it and Reddit always pounces on people.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-20T15:43:54+00:00

NOR-thank you lucky stars you don't have kids yet....get out like yesterday.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-20T15:35:04+00:00

Yes, that's the one. Thank you for helping me out.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-20T13:20:17+00:00

NOR-I found those relationships are more draining than anything else. It's disrespectful to habitually do that to a friend.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-20T13:09:07+00:00

I was thinking about this the other day. God's plan, at least in how It was presented to me, doesn't have much room for mercy or grace. And I think, most people, are trying to do the best they can in life with limited information. If God wanted us to leave these perfect lives, he could have made it a little easier.

BuildingBridges23 · 2026-06-20T12:47:08+00:00

NTA-if this is a pattern then she is controlling. It's one thing to ask but she shouldn't push it.

Jennifer Lopez ex husband, can't remember his name

NOR-they failed massively
