LF, Thank you, and no I don’t lie.
Goq, yummy stuff.
OURtorah, sorry I read you wrong. I disagree that having a shadchan harms the marriage relationship. I also disagree that you have to have a whole relationship going before the wedding. you are of course entitled to your opinion.
Health, he passed away.
Thank you! yes the prince is being hosted by the babba malka and we are busy planning a vacht nacht and bris. Oif simchos.
Mazel Tov! A prince was born and made me a Bubby!
Health, you need to brush up on your reading comprehension.
OURtorah and writersoul: Dating for a year isn’t going to fix the problem. Goyim actually move in with each other to ‘try it out’ and many of them end up divorcing anyway after they marry.
The path to a happy and healthy marriage is happy and healthy people. Not how long you date.
NOTICE: If you will post the real title and then your parody, it will make it much easier to appreciate the joke.
Right now, I read the posts and half the time don’t know which title you are referring to.
Just a suggestion.
Toldos Aharon is a chasidic group and they where a gold kaftan on Shabbos in Yerushalayim. In NY they dress in a black bekeshe like most chasidim do.
Thank you Syag, btw that is how abusive people operate. They take a normal conversation where people are stating what they observe and twist it into something else. Making the other person question reality.
” Another little tidbit of statistics is that divorces are sought in about 75% of the cases by the wife,”
That is because, according to a gittin dayan I knew personally, who isn’t with us any longer, 90% of the divorce in his bais din were the husband’s ‘fault’.
“Whose criteria is it (not marriage material), yours or s/o else’s?”
The women who go out with them who are scared off by the bright red flags.
“you hypocritically clearly judged a whole community even without necessitating mentioning them”
When I said no one can judge. What I meant was, no one can judge whether or not the divorce was necessary, since no one can judge the level of pain.
I don’t know where you take your data from. I am taking mine from the slice of the population that I happen to know. Whether or not that is or isn’t a good sampling for a ‘statistics study’ I don’t know.
“You opine that no one’s in a position to judge”
If the divorced couple should or shouldn’t have divorced. No one can judge the pain involved. And the dysfunction isn’t always obvious to the outside. To say that people divorce because no one wants to say “I’m sorry” is hurtful, stupid, and shows how little you know. ‘I’m sorry’ can’t help if there is a personality disorder involved.
About judging the community of men. I didn’t mention them at all, however, many of the women (I know) are happily remarried, while the men, are simply not marriage material, and remain single. Obviously, there are instances where the man is healthy and the woman is not.
Interestingly, where both spouses are unhealthy, often they stay together. When one spouse is healthy and the other is not, then the healthy one suffers tremendously and often needs to end it eventually.
No experience really, maybe talk about your families, and family traditions, like what you do on chol hamoed, how you spent your summers as a kid, and other nice memories of how you grew up. And obviously, listen to his/her memories too.
You can hear a lot between the lines, if the past was pleasant or bumpy, family dynamics etc.
“Abusive husbands represent a very small percent of the overall divorce rate in the frum community. “
NOT TRUE
I know a whole community of single women, many of them already b”H happily remarried, who were married to abusive men. Personally, and this is anecdotal, 99% of the divorcees I know were married to either abusive, or mentally/emotionally unwell spouses. Yiddishe mammas by and large don’t say good by to their husbands because they didn’t take out the garbage! And NO ONE is in a position to judge.
A/Y: Finally someone talking sense!
You can sing it to your brother/father or friend who will sing it to her brother/father, who can sing it to the musician.
It’s time to add more chumus (falafel on the menu)
When I called, they said they only give out the information if both sides call.
twisted: Thanks
The driver was my cleaning lady not a car service. She is learning English and getting better and better at it. At the same time I am learning some Spanish.
That is odd. I called dor yesharim for results before my children got engaged and each time got a definitive answer – no strings attached.
Spanish is very popular if you are an employer and want to be able to communicate with your employees.
Today I learned 2 words in Spanish derecho and izquierdo, very important if you want to arrive to where you intend to go, in car with a Spanish speaker at the wheel.
You’re available?? Just like that? Maybe she’s a one eyed one horned flying lokshen kugel eater.
How about ketchup and pickles?
I want a wallet that works like my laundry, within minutes of being empty it gets full again.
Thank you Wolf and Joseph
Can someone explain please how to do those fancy symbols?
yichusdik, well said.
you should put that in the joke thread! ?
zichmich, you’re welcome. I noticed the jokes thread had your name on it, so I expected a good joke. nu?
This thread would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad and sick.
red heads aren’t red. They are orange.
G and G clothing.
There are branches in Monsey, Williamsburg, and Boro Park.

Parsley leaves are great in chicken soup.
Romaine lettuce are the mainstay of any salad.
And my 2 year old nominates ‘boccoli’
zichmich, even the ones I heard already made me chuckle.
There is a story, of a tzaddik who watched a German kissing his dog before WWll. He said, a person who kisses a dog will one day kill people.
“Do you know how ridiculous you sound?”
ouch
It is a fear/loathing imbedded in our DNA. Dogs were used to persecute yidden starting with Mitzrayim all the way to WWll.
Would you yell, a mouse?
MD: Apology excepted. I agree you overreacted. I am surrounded by men folk that I love and yes found it very objectionable to be called a ‘misandrist’.(which I had to google as I never heard of this zach.)
1. I don’t object to the kollel lifestyle. My husband learned in kollel for the first 5 years of our marriage and I was very proud of him. I have currently 2 sons in law in kollel.
2. That was only the implication if wife doesn’t want a vacation when offered. Vacations don’t necessarily have to be for 2 weeks. What about a 2-3 day getaway to the beach with a friend. Many men don’t go to the beach because of ????? ?????.
3. This one is true sometimes. Unfortunately, I know real life examples.
For the record My husband and I already had our silver wedding anniversary (The night we married off a child) and never spent 2 weeks away from each other.
