I'd suggest the essays. I felt her fear, everything she's said, I said. There is a lot about Mormonism I am still struggling to understand, but I am reading faith-based memoirs and studying up on Mormonism as well as other religions but the relevance here is on Mormonism. I feel for you. Or maybe he's like me and would rather just collapse into bed with you when he gets home. No one knows your situation the way you do.
I really like this girl but, is Mormonism so toxic that I should just sever the relationship before it gets serious. I don't think it's going overboard, though, to state one very possible and very likely scenario, and that is that this girl may likely be completely indoctrinated and believing. Play with fire if you don't fear getting burned. You can also attend their singles conferences, or participate in social activities organized by the Church.

So I understand how it's easy to believe nonsense when you're brainwashed from birth, and how it can be comforting to believe your life is somehow very important in the grand scale of the universe, and how you don't have to be afraid of death because you'll go on to a better place where you'll live happily ever after for eternity. Count yourself lucky that your boyfriend is able to even consider going to parties with you even if you don't ultimately make it to them. I don't want to come off as needy or clingy but I've never dated someone in this profession before. That being said, when you marry a doctor, you marry the profession too. Make an honest effort, and see if you reach the walk-away point.
Love is what we do, not what we feel. Thanks for pointing this stuff out. During "Netflix and chill" the other night, I noticed there was a documentary about mormons. LDSdotOrg is mostly propaganda.
