My boyfriend and I will have been together for 3 years in May. He's very supportive of me and my problems (mental health issues) and we've very much in love. We do want to get married one day as well.
When we met we were both Christian but last August I was baptised into the LDS/Mormon church, which he wasn't too keen on but now he's come round and is quite happy for me. He himself is Anglican and has been for several years.
No one at my church has said anything but when I speak to my online friends they tell me that I am selling myself short as I'll only be able to be with him in this life and not for all eternity in the Celestial Kingdom. I'd rather be with him for all this life than give him up just because others say I should.
I won't give him up just because others say I should and I want to be with him whatever my friends say.
Also, I've been shouted at in chatrooms because if we have any children they'll be conflicted as it'll be a mixed-faith marriage. The fact is, I can't physically have children and wouldn't be able to adopt because of my illness but I resent the fact that my fellow Mormons are judging me.
Can anyone tell me why some Mormons are like this?
