My best friend and boyfriend of two years is leaving in a few months to serve an LDS mission. He will be gone for two years, and I won't be able to communicate with him beyond hand-written letters. Worst of all, when he comes back he will have nothing to do with me. The shame of marrying a non-mormon would be too great. It will be as though he has died.
I want to go on and love other guys. I want to date and have fun, and just move on from this relationship. But, he's the first guy that I've loved and our relationship is perfect. My naive beliefs were that love and hard work build a relationship, and religion only plays a minor role to enhance trust and interest in one another. I never thought that I would be rejected because of my spirituality until he told me that we could never be wed.
Our situation seems so archaic and cold. How can I deal with his departure and not harbor ill feelings toward him and his religion?
He still loves me very much, and I love him as well.

Love never dies.
No relationship is perfect. If you think it is; you are misled. I'm sorry for speaking so strongly, but I suspect you may not be in love.
Love seeks to give.
Lust seeks to get.
Forgive him. Get rid of anything you have that came from him, or reminds you of him...& move on.
There WILL be others in your life who will love & accept you for who you are. You are worthy of love, & you will find it...if you don't become bitter.

How do you prepare? Be ready to move on just in case?
