I dated a Mormon once. And as the child of a Sunday school teacher, it was refreshing to be the bad boy for once. Like how would you like some black tea girl?

[grumblekin]

I love that it was a mutual thing and not the thing that killed your relationship!!! Yay for you both ❤

Mom was bullied out of the church, I was bullied for it in the church growing up. I once had an anxiety attack in church and the teacher made it so much worse by saying that my cause of anxiety would kill us all if it was real. I had such a bad panic attack from what he said they then gave me a “blessing” to fix my anxiety… never went to church again. People in my area were SO toxic and crazy and judgmental. So glad I left the church, I’d never put my kids thought what I went through growing up.

I stayed with a mormon family for 5 months and it was a nightmare. I couldnt get out fast enough. Behind closed doors they are messed up. 😢

[Wowjustwow]

My ex quit because he knew he always would leave, two of his brothers were gay…so obviously they left. Then his older brother fell in love with coffee and left the church! 😂

I left as soon as young woman's started. It was so oppressive. I'm actually pretty feminine but not in the Mormon way, I always wanted to do the fun things they were doing in young mens. I also never got behind the idea that motherhood was equal to the priesthood, and I just felt that if the priesthood was real I would also have it because my brain was so active and creative, more along the lines of "men's thoughts" just like my fathers, and speaking of which why isn't fatherhood alone equivalent to motherhood? It was obvious my teachers hated my eternal questions that they had no answers for. God didn't make me like a Mormon woman, as a kid it confused me and I thought I was bad and for some reason decided to pray to Mother Mary instead because even though they said Jesus felt every emotion, I didn't believe that he could have felt what it was like to be a girl. Now I just know that they are extremely narrow-minded on what a woman is and that I'm ADHD. lol. This is the closest I ever came to sharing a testimony.

The fact they call it the "celestial kingdom" is wild 😂

I love to see people's individuality take charge after leaving the church ❤

[mickeysmith]

People never believe me when I say I've been as happy as I get ever been since leaving the LDS church, but really life is just so much more enjoyable now.

[jordanlillian]

My God wants me and all his children to be happy and safe. He wouldnt want us to neglect our happiness to be miserable.

I dated a Mormon once and when I was SIXTEEN YEARS OLD his mom saw me as future wife potential. 😭 Needless to say that was WAY too much pressure and we did not last.

I did everything right. Served a mission, did hundreds of hours of church service and attended church whenever I could. (I lived 50 miles away from the nearest ward)

I served my mission. Came back, completely disillusioned. I converted no one and essentially was a service pieces of shit used to help them move when they owed people money.

When it was time to date, I found Mormon women had the most outrageous standards with nothing of value to offer me other than “Celestial Kingdom”.

“Oh I want a kissless virgin man who served a mission, is very Romantic (how? he has never in his life expressed any sexual energy in his life because that’s a sin) and outgoing. Plays the (insert random instrument) who has a good job to support our family, cook, helps with cleaning, good with children and is a devout Mormon and the list goes on.”

Meanwhile they may or may not have served a mission, probably went to BYU and made a “Mistake” (she did a one night stand thinking this would become a relationship) But don’t worry, she now has high standards (that she doesn’t even meet) and now she’s ready to live a pious life for Jesus. (She’s wants her parents to love her again. Yes her family’s love is conditional and if she disappoint them, they doesn’t love her anymore) (btw the same will apply to you if you guys get married, it’s how she’s been raised)

After a while I just gave up on the whole ordeal. What’s even the point when I can’t even reveal my problems to my partner because they’re leave me or drag the entire church into MY problems the minute I reveal them to her.
After 6 months, I walked into the Bishops office. Told him how I felt and asked to be no longer considered a member since I no longer believed in the church. He was very understanding and wished me good luck.

Didn’t go back after that, moved away and have just lived my life since then.

It’s hard to leave everyone behind, but you have to. Their life will only be about getting you to become a Mormon again

[carleewhite]

Im so happy you guys made it through together. My hubby and I made it out with our relationship intact. We got our letters this autumn officially getting out after 10 years being inactive. Literal dread thinking about my mom finding out, literal freedom at the thought I'm not owned anymore.

[readyainefire]

I have a friend who’s Mormon and honestly he is the sweetest and maybe even a bit too innocent. For example if you ask about his religion he will gladly educate you about it but he doesn’t really know when the jerks are trying to make fun of it. Anyways neither of us care about what religion you are as long as you’re a good person at heart. People can be very religious and still be jerks.

[jessiewhitman]

My bfa family is Mormon and his mother says im going to hell because im Catholic. I told her Jesus started to the Catholic Church.. And she said that God will strike me dead..the mormon faith is just nuts.

[Faleth]

My 11 year old brother was accused of a crime to which he didn’t commit. In that time of need you would THINK that your church would be there for you right? NOPE! My mom had several people text her nasty things and had people give her dirty looks instead of LOVE.

I was already wanting to leave Mormonism but this just solidifies it.

I am LDS and respect your decision
God loves you! ❤
