I've been thinking about not going to church. I'm burnt out in this singles ward. The few rotten apples have really spoiled the bunch for me. I've no plans on attending my home ward either, though ... I'm just tired. So much is asked of me and I'm not feeling like I'm getting anything out of it. I don't want to feel guilty for not going to church, eating out or shopping on Sundays, not praying or reading my scriptures. I just want to live my life as a good person without the pressure of being "perfect".I'm certainly not meeting any men to date in this ward and at this point I'd rather find a good non-LDS man, who doesn't drink or smoke, who is true to himself than an LDS man who is a hypocrite.

Good luck with that.
Inge I truly love you and I'll miss you for sure if you decide to stop attending our ward. I would love to have dinner with you some time and catch up.
Those are heavy thoughts. Perhaps taking the road of "not feeling guilty" versus taking the road that blesses your life.
Yet all those things you've listed can feel burdensome, annoying, and stale. Sometimes we forget to ask Christ to lift our burdens.
There are times I feel weighed down by the temporal responsibilities that are part of my faith and spirituality. However, I find if I serve more and "do what I have to" less, let go of non-essentials but keep my covenants...it works out.
If I meet any qualified, single men interested in getting married...
