Wait .. are there really a dozen ex-Mormons on this forum?

There are a few. Some talk about it, some don't. It's often a sensitive subject.Quoting Brude (view post)
...and the milk's in me.
Yep. If you go far back enough in the atheist thread, you'll know which posters. It seems to be a rather painful experience getting out.

I just can't imagine wanting to limit myself to one specific type of person as a significant other.

I'm surprised you're surprised. I think we all have limitations in a romantic partner that we don't necessarily put on friends. I have plenty of friends who, for instance, have very different political beliefs than mine... but I don't think I could date someone who thought very differently about politics than I do. It's kind of like that.Quoting EyesWideOpen (view post)
...and the milk's in me.
And I'm not sure this comes across online, because I'm good at compartmentalizing, but my faith is a huge part of my life. It's not an uncomplicated relationship, but it's hard to articulate how powerful it is for me.
...and the milk's in me.
I only know girls that are Mormons now that I think about it.
Isn't being married, as you are, limiting yourself to one specific type of person as a significant other?Quoting EyesWideOpen (view post)
The girl I'm currently dating is very active politically and has very different opinions than mine on some things. But so far it has never been a problem. We discuss if we feel like discussing or we don't if we don't. That's it.
There are some exceptions. I could never date a committed Christian because I'd make fun of her endlessly.
Pouring rain. Seriously craving pizza from a joint two blocks over. No umbrella. Hmmm ..
They invented delivery, you know.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Heh, I know -- but it struck me as decadent to pay somebody to walk through the rain.
I've ordered delivery from places closer than that. I just threw in a little extra for the tip, the Lazy Man's Fee, if you will.Quoting Brude (view post)

I offset it. During the summer, I have walked upwards of 45 minutes just to get to a brunch place. During winter, I am decadent as fuck and would ask the Chinese takeout guy from literally across the street to bring me food.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Heh! Those are both good systems but I just can't do it.
I'm too cheap. And I'd feel badly about making some guy do that when I know I can just do it myself.

I know NickGlass has written for Slant, and Boner for an Australian magazine. Who else has written for magazines or major websites?
I've long thought since knowing you online that you and one of my best friends would do quite well together.Quoting Mara (view post)
Also if you have okcupid you can turn off your visitor status so that people can't see that you're clicking on them but you also can't see who is clicking on you.
I'm a very liberal atheist. If I was dating I wouldn't only look for very liberal atheist's. In a perfect world your significant other would have exactly the same worldview as you but it seems really limiting to only go with that. My wife was a devout Bahai when I met her.Quoting Mara (view post)

My wife's a Jehovah's Witness. I'm not. No problem.

I'm white, and my wife's not.
She call me a cracker. I don't hit her.
Somehow, it all works.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I'm real and my husband is imaginary. I think this works better than real marriage.
I'm real, and and my wife is imaginary.
And in no way is that depressing.
I'm going to start using my Discover card more. Just found out that I can apply my rewards points to Amazon purchases. Please don't tell me if this has been possible for a long time. I would like just this one time to be more informed than the other people on this board.
I didn't know.Quoting amberlita (view post)
