i don't have to deal with this but i was thinking why should you guys go when
1) they shun you so if they don't have you in their home treat you like that why should you bother going to the funeral
2) when my ex's grandmother passed away they didn't go into the service(which was the hated Catholic ) they wouldn't go for anyone i cared for because we are worldly so why should any of you go for them

Hi Everyone,
It's been 7 months since i told my ex i had enough of him and his jw parents. After 5 years of him not moving on and not going back to them either, I realized i was not happy anymore and this was just draining. Time helps i am realizing how good it feels to be free and realize i deserve so much more. I realized how you can't help these people get out especially him he doesn't want to. He has tried to talk to me because he has his own little world where he just works goes home and has no friends except me and one other person. Since he was disfellowshipped he never bothered to meet anyone because hey he doesn't need anyone!!!, and all his "friends" were from the hall. So it was better to harass me when jw's were at his parents house.
The part that still angers me and bothers me is their have their cake and eat it too mentality. I don't want to generalize i know they are not all like that. But it seems that in many non jw-jw relationships they seem to expect that you will put your life in limbo just to please them, because they are to cowardly to do what needs to be done. They will date a nonjw but follow other jw rules. I thought about this more because Saturday we had a big party for my parents 25th wedding anniversary. My family is majority Catholic so the priest came they renewed their vows etc. Well i know my ex would be a drag. Hating it when the priest came the service and oh no when the priest says in the name of the father son holy spirit and we make the symbol of the cross. He would beg me to go to his family functions and accept his jw rules and family but when it came to compromising and accepting mine no way! I am not saying we have to agree there are a lot of issues that i have with catholicism and religion in general, but they are really not tolerant and it's their way or no way.
Well now it is not his way anymore. I had a great time on Saturday with my family and friends and i realized with him i never did and never would. It would always be a problem and who needs that stress!!
Thanks for being so helpful when i have posted before. I have to say it again this forum really helps!! :)

You bring up a good point. I am hispanic, and the majority are Catholic, but with the population of hispanics growing at a fast rate and the fact that many are young this is a good population to recruit. You brainwash them nice and early!!!

You are getting really good advice and i hope you listen. A lot of times we let our emotions get in the way you need to know you can't change things and you have to know when to let go. I was the non-jw with a disfellowshipped jw. There are a lot of former posts regarding this and it all says the same thing. I was with him for 5 years believe me your heart will be broken, you will have used a lot of energy and it is draining. The guilt that is put on them the rules. Having children with her would be even worse. I urge you to do your research on this cult. there are really good sites like www.freeminds.org wwww.jwfiles.com, and books one being Steve Hassan Combatting Cult Mind Control.

well seems to me that you have made up your mind that oh i love her so much that no matter what we stay you will stay and most likely convert. Well hopefully it will work and if not can't say you were not warned! You will suffere the consequences. Hope you don't add children into the equation because then it will be worse, and you will have to take them with you to all those meetings and knocking on doors. You say you don't believe it then why would you go to meetings, give up all that for something you dont believe in. Seems like you love her hope she loves you and is willing to do anything for you. I would be surprised if she did because like all others said to them the WTS is the most important.
No matter what others tell you, You live and learn sometimes you have to experience it
Like country_woman- The best advice I read (except run for your life) was: Take this girl and leave together.
Don't listen to others, don't learn from mistakes that others did make, Do what you want: you have to pay for your mistakes.

well all i can say is I wish you the best. I know you love her, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't move on, you are young can find someone else and really be happy. I know what you mean about hope. I held on to that hope for 5 years with my ex, until i realized I wasn't happy. This wasn't going to change, and I realized how much I was giving up. How one sided it is how much of a lifestyle it is. It is so draining! I grew resentful just like others mentioned. We all gave you our advice and what we have been through. Just keep that in mind, and realize what you would have to go through should you decide to stay the relationship would be with her and the WTS.
