My wife has been pretty depressed recently. She told me that the biggest thing is my unwillingness to share my testimony. However, after learning about stuff similar to the CES letter, etc., I really don't feel a "testimony" and feel very uncomfortable sharing one...
I've tried testing the waters with my doubts but I'm pretty sure this will lead to divorce...so I can't really share my feelings or share what I've learned...
We are reading D&C together now somewhat...and every now and then I point things out...
I've tried to share my feelings on Jesus, his teachings, etc. rather than the BOM, JS, Monson, etc. but it just comes out sounding like an atypical testimony
Background: both RMs, temple marriage, kids, recently escaped Utah for another job (wife was sad, I was ok)
Any advice on how to approach this? If anyone has successfully managed this, please let me know...
- Do I fake it? I'm not too comfortable doing this...
- Do I keep sharing tidbits? My wife won't really listen to perceived anti-stuff
- Do I just break free? Divorce seems like the worst outcome of these three...
- Other options?
