Jphone, in no other generation were things so overt as they are now. Between prusta commercials on CBS newsradio during morning hours to highly provocative ads to extremely liberal social mores to highly available pritzus unrealistic expectations for wives caused by such highly available pritzus, the yetzer hara is stronger than ever. Plus, people are more ready to consider a divorce today than before. finally, according to my rav, people today are more immature than they used to be. Combine all these factors and there’s a good reason why a rav or rebbe would give such advice- NOT an issur, but practical advice based on the hours of counseling and dozens of people spoken to.
