“Vi shteit that one is either entitled to “comfort and joy” or a divorce???
“You call that spoiled to want more out of life????”
In 99.9+% of the time one will NOT get “more out of life” by divorcing for these reasons being given. Who knows if the next marriage will not be the same or even worse than the first. “
Sorry, but you and I are not on the same page here and never will be. Ivdu es Hashem b’simcha,means exactly that, and one part of avodas Hashem is the mitzvah of Pru Urvu. The mitzvah of being mesameach chosson v’kallah is called exactly that, because we ARE supposed to live joyfully and help others to feel joyful as well (“v’samachta b’chagecha v’hayisa ach sameach” are not just lip service expressions).If Hashem commands us to experience joy from our shloshes regalim which come about only three times a year, kal v’chomer that He wants us to be joyful in marriage which is 24/7. Any Jew who believes itherwise, does not know the meaning of the joy of Torah, and will have a tough question to answer when after 120 years Hashem asks why he did not avail himself of the joy in this beautiful world that He created.
The only thing that I agree with, is that divorce does not always bring a person the happiness he or she thinks it will, because there is not always something better out there. But sometimes there is.
