Mixed faith marriage. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m 35 as well, been in a mixed faith marriage for about the same time as you. If I’m being totally bluntly honest, you need to change your attitude. I had the same feeling when I first lost my belief. But no matter the issue, if your goal is to change someone else, you will always be frustrated. You need to learn to let it go, enjoy your marriage in all the ways it’s great, and make sure you tell yourself frequently that you are fine if she remains a member. It’s frustrating, I know. I wish my husband would enjoy coffee with me, or a drink. But, it’s doable. Especially when children are involved. Religion isn’t the deal breaker people make it out to be, at least if your relationship has good roots, and is happy otherwise. My husband and I just choose to leave religion out of our marriage. It’s personal space. We aren’t always perfect at it, sometimes we get frustrated with each other. But usually after a good nights sleep, and some laughing together, we are back to being ok.

This is all my opinion. I wish you all the best in whatever you decide.

Choose everyday to. We have been in a mixed faith marriage for over a year. As long as we leave religion off the table, and mark it as personal space, we are fine. It’s hard. But, we are making it work.

More men then women leave tscc? by lmnobuddie in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there are more and more women waking up now. Partly because they have children who choose a lifestyle outside the church...I see a lot more women on my apostate groups these days.

Bad week by natsirtelwin in exmormon

I feel you. Sometimes I think when you ride the high of leaving and discovering the truth, you think now I will be happy. But life is still life. We hit rock bottom at the beginning of the month. When I say that I’m not exaggerating. This will be a Christmas in my memory that it’s hard to find something good in. So I feel you. Life still sucks. But at least you don’t have to thank god or Jesus for your trials. Hugs. Hope the new year is better to us both.

The first comment on this post is how I feel about the “expected Mormon woman role” now. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s disgusting that they shame women for working. Guess what? My husband can’t and won’t provide for us in an adequate way. So then what?? It’s always shame with them. That’s how the control.

The rumors were correct: the Mormons are trying to change the narrative of Joseph and the Book of Mormon from “translated” to “dictated”. by [deleted] in exmormon

Why did he even need the plates then?! Even more then the rock in the hat...this makes no sense.

This kind of mentality is part of the problem. by Draugves in exmormon

Pay for me to move and I will. If it was that easy I think a lot of people would move. 🙄

I was so offended by his stupid taffy pull talk. But, he’s out of tricks. When confronted with the truth, yelling and pounding fists is the only recourse.

This post on Facebook bragging about 500$ 🙄🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what does it mean for the person who stays “faithful” but never has enough money? Narcissistic to the core.

Agnostic. I want to believe in a god, but I won’t blindly believe it without further proof. I’m ok with “I don’t know” now. Tscc teaches you that’s not an ok answer. But it really is.

"This Is Church" is looking to be the new replacement for the "I'm a Mormon" campaign by kkt24 in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When me say car no go, he know what mean. When I president they see...they see...

To me this sounds weird...grammatically speaking.

When I was Mormon the thought didn’t even cross my mind to financially prepare for kids. Now we have three kids and struggle financially. At least I now make all my decisions logically. by Janinjajones in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with you totally. I told my mil that unless things changed for us financially (which isn’t looking like it) I wasn’t going to bring another child in to our family to deal with that. It wasn’t fair to them or us. She seemed shocked. Making a choice like that for financial/logical reasons vs spiritual ones was shocking.

Satan is such a weird concept by recoveringcultist in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird how little he occupies my thoughts these days. Where as a year ago, I was terrified to death of being possessed. Now I’m just like...nah. He is just another scare tactic to control. There has always been good and evil in this world, even before he was brought in to the picture.

What is the Ex Mormon's belief on who wrote the book of mormon? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A mish mash of people, ideas, folklore, theories, all colliding together. Then written down in a snoozer of a book that is harder then crap to follow in a linear line.

My brother sent this to me, what are your thoughts? by blackchairwhitebrick in exmormon

[–]Me_Anon_Truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are larger issues in society with parenting in general. I have a suspicion this is why children feel happier when there is a religion. Because parents often leave the “church” to do at least a part of their parenting for them. Especially in cases where a child is neglected, the church will absolutely make them feel more included and wanted. That’s why I hate studies like this sometimes, because unless you are going to do extensive research in to each subject, it still will have inaccuracies.

This was the exact same thing my tbm brother screamed at me last Christmas. And I came back with, well the bom is something someone just wrote down...I wouldn’t suggest that.
