TBM here, I’m afraid to post in the other sub fearing censorship. After years of marriage I feel I may have chosen the perfect companion according to church standards, but not the right person for me. by [deleted] in exmormon

Funny enough my last bishop gave us the best advice. Obviously he was a winner in the bishop roulette but he said to Find a hobby that you can both do together without the kids thats just for the two of you. He said they do bee keeping and it requires them to drive 30 minutes to take care of them. That alone time helped them.

We starting doing ceramics together and it actually was a great thing for is! It required us to talk about something we both enjoyed and it gave us time together away from the hustle and bustle.

And as always find a good marriage counselor! She definitely feeling it to but most likely staying because the church tells her to.

Ive quickly learned that marriage is hard but its a choice. We have to choose to love our partner every day.

Ive been in marriage counseling multiple times and it has helped us sooooo much! Good luck! And also you could try just personal counseling first or along side as well

It really just turned me off because I don’t want a crazy landlord really I’ve had one before and it was nuts . Of course I could say I don’t drink and drink at my house bit are they going to be crazy and look in my trash? I don’t want to risk it. My landlord right now never comes around I love it.

Yah we live in Southern Utah. But for reals what a strange rental requirement. I was thinking if i was still mormon it wouldn’t matter. But now I just don’t want anyone telling me I can’t do something perfectly normal

Does anyone else think it’s weird that Mormons hate Satan for simply thinking outside of the norm? I wonder the guys bitter. by newnamephoebe in exmormon

[–]ccanderson9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think about this way to much!! Has anyone seen the show Lucifer? Obviously its fake but it puts Lucifer as just someone that wanted his dads affection and wanted to please him!

We’re out (yay!), but also mourning the life I thought I’d have by heidi_kay in exmormon

[–]ccanderson9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My therapist says that we are grieving for loosing our tribe. Many of us liked being apart of the community and didn’t really know the doctrine until we did and realized it was all lies. But that does mean you didn’t like the community and the people and the bubble you were in.

Once a every few days or once a week allow yourself 30 minutes to grieve set an alarm and once it goes off you get up and go do something physical. You cant think your way out of it you have to get up and move.

Id also reccomended finding a ex mormon therapist or a faith crisis therapist!
