Re: I feel like I got shot.
I'm so sorry. I don't have anything to make it feel better, because that's devastating. And I hope you take time to grieve and find some peace eventually.

Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh.
It sounds like you really loved him, but I can't imagine you being happy without making your own choices in life.

Well, if you want people to spend time with you, we're always up for it. Other than that, I can only say that I'm sorry, and I hope you find peace.

(And honestly, most Mormon women aren't like this, either, especially not Mormon Millennial women, in my observation.)Concorde wrote:Why can't I just be like every other Mormon woman and be content to stay at home and just play the perfect role of homemaker?
That's a very wise thing to observe about yourself.Concorde wrote:I don't fear commitment; I fear containment.
The world would be a much better place if all women could choose motherhood or housewife-hood without feeling pressured into those choices.Concorde wrote:I don't mind staying at home and raising the kids and being a homemaker.

And you should be.Concorde wrote:I need it to be my choice, and I need to know that I am supported in whatever I want to do with my life.
And it shouldn't.Concorde wrote:He doesn't own my life. My life does not take a backseat to that of my children without my having a say in it.
I don't know what I can do for you right now, but if one more validating voice helps, you've got mine.
