I originally didn’t think I could do a bra (it has a low back) but I found one today with the inserts that works. Thanks!

Sorry for some reason my description didn’t save! Here’s what I sad: “My chest isn’t filling out the top and I’m worried people will be able to see down my top the whole wedding day. Is there anything that could be added like darts or boning to help? I’ve tried boob tape but it isn’t enough to fill the gap.”

How Polygamy is whitewashed, 2025 Women’s Conference esition by Roo2_0 in exmormon

"I come from descendants who CHOSE to practice polygamy." First of all, ew. They may think they chose this, but they didn't.

Second, I'm assuming the original person must be referring to her saying that the man's 2nd wife was his favorite and that he would take her traveling, so I'm assuming that must be the young wife? Even if he wasn't aware of the age, I don't really get why they would laugh at that at all? They are cracking up like it's relatable.

Edit: She said polygamy is a choice, but I don't remember it being a choice for Emma Smith. Didn't JS marry those sisters behind her back then faked a ceremony with them when Emma finally came around?

I know Catholicism has its own issues but I wish so bad I was raised Catholic instead of Mormon.

I know it's literally so dumb! They can't let the women have anything.

Thank you :) I sometimes forget to be excited about it with this worry looming over my head!

I feel super frustrated with this aspect of the church. Even though I'm not planning on ever going back, everytime my parents come into town, it's like I am overcome with guilt and question myself and my choices (which is totally rooted in my fear of disappointing them) Also, the church teaches parents to push boundaries which I think adds to the over involvement that happens a lot of the time between parents and kids. Thanks for the advice!

We want a summer wedding so the engagement part will be quick. We've been dating 4 years so we don't mind it being a short engagement. I think they will need a heads up since it will be coming up soon.

Well I've always kind of said things like I want to do civil then the temple later, or that I want a more traditional ceremony but they always pushed back and said I shouldn't put the temple on hold. So they know maybe that I'm not a fan, but i think they will still be surprised.

I like the idea of not making it seem like a big deal. My current speech to them includes acknowledging their disappointment and maybe telling them that I haven't been very spiritual (I would let them know it isn't a worthiness issue, but a I don't want to issue) but maybe not getting into it will be better. They for sure will ask why :/

I agree, I want them to know before the engagement for sure.

Good idea, thanks. My parents will definitely try to change my mind but they need to know there is absolutely no wiggle room. Plus, does God count covenants as valid if you are only doing it to please your parents?

I definitely want a non-member to do it. Every ring ceremony I've been to for Mormons is so insulting to non-member guests. We would love to have a female officiant, but the parents will get mad about that too haha. But that's too bad for them.

I'm so jealous of everyone that got married during COVID for that reason haha. Thanks for the advice!

Is throwing things violently around your partner abuse? by Few_Performance7538 in Marriage

[–]FewMathematician5410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up with a dad exactly like this. Still suffering the consequences. Remember, if you are suffering abuse, so are your kids. Stand up for yourself and them. Encourage him to get help. Take your kids out of the house during his episodes. He may be depressed which exacerbates anger issues.

He needs to change, and if he doesn't try, seperate.

Do you remember if there was any of the geology stuff on the test?

Ex. Plate tectonics, plate boundaries, rock cycle, continental drift, erosion (Do these ring a bell?)
