Hokay! Read the boyfriend's blog (not supposed to) and finds he's investigating Mormonism.
He's a repuke: is he trying to justify Romney? Is this a genuine spiritual quest (he's quite capable but I thought he was beyond this) and further, does not the Goddess Lisa fulfill him?

It's 3:33 a.m. and I can't sleep with these questions in my head. I'm about to slug Nyquil and hope for rest. Thanks for listening.

1. Those are questions only he can answer for you, crim son.
But I wish you restful sleep, free from worry. :hug: :hug:

4. Barring a knock at my door and a dealer mistakenly dropping by
a ? of something soothing, I am not about to sleep. But you're right. The thing is, I don't want to hear about his searching. How can he be still examining the shit I left behind almost two decades ago?

Bah! But a good evening to you, Heidi. :hug: :hi: :hug:

2. Why shouldn't you read his blog?
He writes it for people to read, no?

Sweet dreams. :hi:

3. Yes, but not me. He thinks it fosters misunderstandings
as we are both... emotional? What are you doing up, my once-friend?

8. I guess you need to talk with him about it
it isn't like he makes it a secret but posts it openly in a blog.

9. If you're an ex Mormon
I think you can pretty much tell him everything he needs to know. Mitt give you the perfect excuse to broach the subject.

But seriously, a republican? Love is blind. :eyes:

10. Natural curiosity?
I read up on other religions myself. Doesn't mean that I'm going to join them though. It's hardly something to get too worried about if you ask me and even if you are, shouldn't you take it up with him rather then us?

12. do you want him to have code name for you that you don't know?
Edited on Thu Dec-13-07 08:05 AM by CreekDog
and that he can use to bring you over to heaven or not use and leave you behind and instead take his other "eternally sealed" wives with him as an alternative.

it should be no surprise that Utah has higher depression rates than most states...half the married population is spiritually subject to their husband's whims.

this and some other stuff ended my married friends' relationship with the Mormon church. what they said made them particularly angry was that they had to belong for quite a while before really finding out those "show stoppers".

i find the whole missionary discussion process very misleading and intentionally so.

just be careful if this is gonna affect you or someone you love significantly. IMHO.

13. I would worry more about being asked not to read his blog.
Strange that everyone in the world but you could read it. It's charming that he's admitting that there's a part of his life he wants to hide from you, at least, and that he's not making any great effort at concealment. If you're okay with having read it anyway, why not discuss matters with him?

19. I plan on drinking this evening, after "work"
and in the meantime must be fully functional so that I can competently wax my moustache. What's the occasion, Omphalo? Thursday? That's going to be my excuse. :loveya:

23. Nor do I?
Crim son, perhaps it would be a good idea to spend some time out of a relationship and spend time on yourself for a while.

You just ended a marriage that lasted many years, and then jumped in the fray again with someone that doesnt seem to be very right for you, at least from where I read it.

You are a beautiful and intelligent woman worthy of love and kindness without all this drama.

I wish you could see that.

this is all said in kindness, Crim son.

Jason.

22. A Republican AND a Mormon (soon to be) ? Oh crim son...
Well, you never can tell what life is going to throw at you, can you? I married a born-again conservative Christian Republican and I'm incredibly happy in my marriage. Our rare discussions about politics have become easier in the last couple of years. She always distrusted Bush and hated the war in Iraq; now she openly mocks him, expresses respect for Al Gore, and just rolls her eyes at the news of the latest repuke sex scandals. People can grow, and we CAN be happy with people so completely different from us.

Having said that, not all situations are alike. Please protect yourself, sweetie. Make sure this guy is really who you want. If it's "'love', I think", then take a second look. And remember, we're all here for you...

26. Oh sweetie
I wish you could see what is painfully obvious to those of us who care about you.

Please take care of yourself.
