Although I have unofficially left the Church (I haven't sent in a resignation letter or anything because I am lazy, but I basically know that I will never attend any church ever again), I still recognize the benefits that one can receive by simply knowing other Mormons.

Wait; it's actually possible to leave the Church? My SO was a Mormon growing up but her whole family gave it up years ago. They still show up at her doorstep all the time and call her trying to convince her to go to Church. They've been hounding us for years.

I figured it was just a part of life being with an "ex"-Mormon.

You can formally request a record removal if that's your prerogative.

Yeah, as jimmy_dean said. And that was a typo in the first part of that sentence; I haven't officially left, but it is possible - there are even handy instructions online of how to do it. Like you and your SO, my wife and I are also approached once every few months by members. If you don't officially resign, they somehow know when/where you move, and the local ward members in your new area will call and visit and stuff. They are all really nice, and I tell them that I don't mind hanging out as long as we avoid religious topics (at which point they usually never take me up on my offer to hang out), but it always makes me wonder how they can locate me so quickly.

Yeah it's crazy how good they are at this! I'm not like super bothered by it or anything; sometimes it's kinda amusing to chat with them actually ("have you ever heard of a Mormon before?")
