I find myself oscillating between empathy, pity, and rage, but lately, it's been mostly rage.

I have learned this painfully with my child growing up in the LDS community. There have been many times my husband or I have actually said something like "it is good that I am committed to our marriage because this is not fun". If not watch it. My current atheism bothers him a little but as long as we respect each other it's fine. The LDS Church meets many of the criteria for cult behavior. You must either really love blue balls, or else she is not a real deal Mormon girl.
I would need to ask my husband again. We are here looking for the other people who live this life and understand how difficult and, at times, painful this career is with which to live since the majority of people think like you until they see our families in action. Mormons can be pretty crazy without it. If your spouse thinks 8 is too young to get baptized, are you all right with waiting until they are older. You might need to trade missionary lessons for research on her part, and we can suggest less scary resources.
While it's true that Mormons are not one-dimensional and completely predictable, the odds of a successful relationship, given the OP's description of his girlfriend, are slim. We keep "waiting" for it to get easier, and every year it just doesn't. She's such a martyr and a great person for doing this. My husband and I have a much closer relationship than ever before and I just hope that another blue eyed nurse doesn't come along to distract him. The complete week I stay alone and feel lonely without a call or a message and even sometimes without a reply. I love him more than anything, but lately, the lack of real time together and the stress of his work impacting how I am made to feel like I'm on eggshells when we do get together almost seems like to much to bear.
I have been married to a doc for 31 years and just found out about an "emotional affair" that went on for 15 years she is a nurse. Sounds like classic "flirt to convert. This is how I felt when I married my exmo husband. When you try to explain to them why the church would not publish said info on their own website they get mad at you and tell you you're ignorant. There is much that needs to change and many hearts to educate but if we doubt some of the fundamentals then why not all of them. But I'm trying to determine how much of that behavior is truly down to his profession, and how much of it is him not being very into me or just selfish and unwilling to compromise even if that selfishness is a byproduct of his residency, and not how he would be in other circumstances.
