Relationship Advice by Proxy

[debetesse]

Ok, hivemind, I need you. My little brother (HS Sophomore) is dating a Mormon (he, himself is toward the Left end of UCC. Basically, last door on the Left of Christianity). He really likes her, but is getting irritated with her habit of trying to convert him (she does not realize or does not acknowledge that she is doing so).

I suggested arguing theology with her. He cited her use of my fav. line ever: "pray on it and it will be revealed to you". Oy.

I suggested trying to convert her back (to Wicca, if I'm being snarky), so that it's forced to consciousness. He said that was mean.

I pointed out my lack of boyfriend, and that perhaps I should ask the 'istas. He agreed, so I'm asking.

Please remember that she's young and he actually wants to continue this relationship (although he has expressed reservations in the past wrt LDS's stance on homosexuality. Go Team Tolerance). Any ideas?

The memories hurt me. Ouch.

I... don't have much advice for this situation. He definitely needs to get it out there, but whether to do it comedically or seriously or in some other fashion depends a lot on both her and their relationship.

Which is useless. But I sympathize, at least! Religion, relationships, and me have a long history.

Also, I love that you had that icon. So perfect for the post!
