Unfortunately the stigma attached to divorce is huge in the frum communities due to the narrow mindedess and mad amount of peer pressure present. This causes many terribly unhappy couples to ‘stick it out’ for the rest of their lives.

Why can’t the ‘frum world’ be broader mineded as a whole and accept divorce as a very acceptable action nowdays (i’m not saying it’s commendable obviously).

If you think about it; why is the rate of divorce so much lower in the frum world than in the ‘non-frum’ world. Don’t tell me it is just because of the upbringing/outlooks that people are raised with – no one likes divorce! The reason is because a lot of ‘frum people’ are living FAKE lives and ‘living a lie’!

I empathise with you…
