To all of you out there! I thank you so much ur super advice and understanding support. You have no idea how much they mean to me! Knowing that there are ppl out there with whom I can confide in anonymously, and still get outstanding advice eases the situation a lot!!
I’ve read all your responses and gave lots of thought to each of your comments. I had lots of what to think on Shabbos, and will be making soon a decision of how to approach this matter.
Again, I really appreciate your comments! And I’m proud to be part of the Om hanivchar where brothers and sisters help each others without even having the slightest clue who the recipient is.
Thank you all! I’ll keep you posted of any positive development.
Positiveanayim,
I really appreciate your strong words. And to everybody out there! Thanks for your support. Its so good to know there are people who care.
And to you Positive, its a little more complicated than that…
I can’t see myself bringing this issue up in an actual conversation. My parents and family don’t dream that I’d be happy with something else. It’ll be a total shock for them… Never mind the whole conversation. I first need to get the message across that I’m not at the point where they believe I am…
And to get such a conversation running would require lots of tact, thought AND courage. I can’t see myself doing it. Its a real tough situation…
I almost cried when I read telegrok’s last post…
The situation I’m in isn’t very different than the one posted here. Its being expected of me to marry a chushive boy who’ll be learning for a nice number of years. My friends, family, they all expect it of me. But since I came into the shidduchim world quite a bit later than the rest of my friends (was wating for my older sibling to get engaged) its been a long while since sem and I’m not this real type of girl I was couple of years ago… I feel like I’m faking myself… I’m not myself with those boys that are being introduced…
Perhaps (doubtfully) there’s a solution out there…?
About the issue of going OTD as a cause of going facebook, it is definitely true. I heard of 3 incidents in which frum girls created their own profiles just for the ‘kick of it’ and were then dragged into a different way of life with no way back. 2 of them hooked up with ppl they would’ve never gotten in touch with if not their facebook profile.
This is one of the reasons I don’t have a public facebook/twitter profile.
The strangest part of this all was from from where they got hold of these sefarim. Were they rather throwing some hebrew books than english story books?
