dot dot dot,

I was born into the church in the early 60s, and spent my entire life literally saturated in mormonism. It wasn't an easy path for me to go from in to out, and I'm guessing it was a very stressful and thoughtful process for your husband as well.

I've now been out for a while, and probably the best synopsis of the various & sundry issues related to the church and its history can be found here:

After going through this letter, it may impel you to look further / deeper.

That would be my recommendation for you. If nothing else, it will provide you with a better insight into what may have taken your husband to the point he's at in his life.

And a million kudos to you for not writing your husband off as being an imp of satan, now that he doesn't believe as he once believed. People change. And good for you for being able to be an adult, and continue to love him, even though I'm guessing you're seeing a lot of pressure to divorce, etc. from extended family and friends and mormon clergy.
