Revelation about a relationship
Hello,
Just some background: I am 26, born and raised LDS and both my parents were practically raised in the church as well (served full time missions, sealed in temple,etc.)
I met a guy who was investigating the church and we started hitting it off pretty early on. However, for some reason my mom just didn’t like him even though she had never met him because she said he wasn’t baptized. I told her he was still learning about the church and she said that it had been months and if he didn’t have a testimony by then, he wouldn’t ever get baptized.
I called it quits with the boy for a while although I never told him the true reason behind it. A couple of months later, we ended up restarting things and when I would go drop him off at his house (always stayed in the car, don’t even know his apartment unit), my mom would text and call a lot. I was already kind of unsure about the relationship because I want someone with my same standards, but he recently got baptized and has been going to institute and participating more in class.
I spoke with my mom about how it feels that I have to choose between her and him and she just told me that ultimately it’s my choice but that she felt that I shouldn’t be with him. She stated that the spirit made her feel that him and I would have a problem with the law of chastity and she didn’t want me to make mistakes like that. She just kind of left it off that ultimately it was my decision if I wanted to be with him and that she wouldn’t stop me but that she wished she had gotten advice like that when she was younger.
When I brought up meeting him, she said she did not want to and didn’t feel like acting like a hypocrite by acting like it was all okay.
I guess what I’m trying to ask is- should I consider what my mom said as a type of revelation? I don’t know if what she’s saying is coming from fear or the actual spirit and the thing is I would really like to try a relationship with him even if it’s for a bit.
Update: talked to mom. She got teary eyed and she said “there’s nothing more I can say but I can feel it clearly and I’ve felt for months that you shouldn’t be with him because I get so much anxiety when you’re with him”. I explained that him and I went over a lot of her concerns and what we agreed on and she just said “I can see this clearly, it is the lamb and the wolf where you know it’s a matter of time before the wolf eats the lamb. And I hope I’m wrong but that feeling hasn’t gone away. Either way maybe this is a lesson you have to learn by yourself” don’t know how to feel about this…. Thanks anyways guys
