“it ain’t over till the fat man sings.”
lol. I guess you are capable of political correctness :). Either that or just overly makpid on kol isha.
According to Jewish Law a wife is considered married until she receives a GET from her husband and the husband must willingly give it. A husband has control of all property owned by his wife so a husband has full rights to live in the family house even if she is the titled owner. If the wife moves out in both secular and Jewish Law she is still considered married. I am sorry that thebabbler was treated the way she was by her husband but I think this was handled badly. Without hearing the whole story, and with wife moved out, the husband has no incentive to give a get and move out of the family home. He has the advantage of divorce not living with the wife without having to divide the family assets. Why should he want to get divorced and have all those financial responsibilities. As a society we should not allow this to go on as long as it did. I think one of the husband’s friends finally convinced him that best thing for him to do is give a get, move out of the house and move on with his life.
The wife has a hatred for the husband this hatred is preventing her from having loving feeling towards another man. If her ex wronged her he will pay for his crimes in the next world. If the wife can forget, forgive and totally erase all memory of her ex. She will be ready for a new beginning and will be on the road to find her true love.
