I also didn't want to push him away by overwhelming him with talks about commitment when he's already stressed. I'd rather marry a doctor and let him have a mistress on the side if that means not having to worry about money. I made a conscious decision to marry outside the church for my own reasons.

I really like this girl but, is Mormonism so toxic that I should just sever the relationship before it gets serious. Mormons are very strict about avoiding sex outside of marriage. How do Mormons feel about contraception. It is hard work.
