Wooo Hooooo!!! Yay for you guys! You did the right thing and it worked over the long haul.

How sweet it is. :D

All I need a little luck/help for my wife to do the same.
Unfortunately, she hates the internet, because I have found there my first real information about .. er .. um .. the Church.

I know there has been a divide there, and I'm glad that you guys can finally be on the same page.
Have you received a lot of static from her/your extended family, or are they aware yet?

Thanks!
No, they're not aware of my wife's situation yet. It'll be interesting to see what happens. With just me out, there was always hope that my wife would somehow magically bring me back into the fold. Now, they'll have to face up to the fact that that's not gonna happen. It'll be much better this time around though - i've got my partner for life by my side. :)

EXACT same thing happened to me. I bolted three years before my wife. Here parents held out the same hope. We had one child baptized during our split believership. However, we now have one non member child(past age eight without baptism)!Who Knows wrote:liz3564 wrote:Congrats, Who Knows! ;)

The way my wife broke the news to her parents that she had jetisoned Mormonism AND the Jesus jammies was to wear a tank top and miniskirt at our last visit to her family.
It was quite the family gathering to say the least. It not only broke the ice but emptied the damn pond and it is still dry to this day.
Do return and report how she breaks the good/bad news of her apostasy!

It is strange because my brother was baptised after both my parents leaving. None of my family believe. I am kinda the only one, but confused, maybe I could look at those sites. My parents never went through the temple, my mum didn't want to be married to my dad for ever, but she once said to me that she would like that I got her sealed to us. I didn't know if I could do that, but I would never get my parents sealed after they had gone because I wouldn't want that for my mum. She confuses me at times, because sometimes she says things that say she believes then she says the complete opposite other times. WK, didn't your son get baptised recently? How would that bear on your son? My mum told me she never wants me to wear "Gs" ( I will use that just incase it is sensitive in this forum) I think she feels it takes away womens power, I tried telling her, men wear them too. She things it is too much like Islam symbolically. I spent the last ten minutes wondering why my noodles are spicy, I must have got the wrong kind.
I bet wearing them in bed would be a right turn off. LOL.
Have fun. If it makes you both happy then it is cool. Life is relative in my opinion.

Patience pays off. My dh waited and waited and waited (and waited some more), all the while, he supported me as we attended church and baptized our children, and so on.
It has been 5 weeks since I've been to church. I waited to be released from a calling before I quit (my choice, I didn't ask to be released).
