Last summer though, we broke up, and now he states that although he loves me and that i'm his "soul mate", he wants me to wait until he's ready. We broke up because of religion. He is mormon, and his family convinced him the devil was speaking to me just because I don't share their same beliefs. Anyway, he wants to go on a mission which is where they serve the church was for 2 years in another country or state. I really do love him, but I don't know if I should put my life on hold for him. Especially after his mission, I don't even think he'll want anything to do with me since I'm not a member. I'm really torn. I told him how I felt yesterday, and he told me the night is darkest before the dawn and that he loves me and that someday everything will be okay and blah blah blah. :/ Help...

reader, anonymous, writes (5 April 2011): hey, I am a mormon girl currently facing a similar problem of knowing whether to wait for this guy or not. I have lived in the church my whole life and have had my two older brothers go away and serve missions...I haven't fully began to process the probability of us being together, but in times like this I think that feeling is the best soloution.ask yourself, can you see your life without him in it? despite what people are saying because people will talk, especially mormons -_- i understand. if you answer no then have you considered learning about our church fully, understanding why we do certain things, why we don't etc for yourself? instead of just taking what your guy may have said, actually thinking about it in a non predjudice and non judgemental way? you could be surprised :) the fact is, if you love him, you'll know and the two years of waiting is nothing compared to an eternity together.your not a mormon but do you pray? even if you don't, i can testify that if you pray to the Lord you will get your answer... it may not come straight away, hey, it probably won't but it will come :)
