I'm really glad to hear a few of you have stories of happy interfaith relationships, or leaving the church together, so there's always a chance. IMO he should've been up-front about that before beginning to date you, but, sounds like you're okay with it now that everything's clear. Now Knowing your husband is surrounded by good looking women, makes you pray for them even harder. My husband is a surgical oncologist. A more unfortunate soul needs him right now as much as I need him. You should not be trying to be exclusive with one person, so go on dates with as many people as you can. Pin It on Pinterest.
I'd suggest taking issue with things that specifically bug you the most. You stop talking at all. They therefore have a high standard to work toward. If we can say them together, great; if not.

I grew up believing that when, where, and by what authority I was married were equally important to whom I married. If not, it's better to find out now than to continue with something that isn't satisfying you. But the loneliness and the hours ER shifts are taken everything I had left in me. It was not just frustrating but also saddening and stressful. Being what you can even for 2 hours a week will help. Just remember that you chose one another.
