This post was going so well untill the halacha debates and doubts.
Sarah- I don’t live in Lakewood but, who is to say some woman did not offend this mans wife. Women can be quite mean at times to other women even if things are said by accident as a slip of the tongue and not meant to be offensive.
I admire that you wear a snood and have not been accidentally insulted.
Think about it..If you were insulted would your husband do a nice thing like this and find out what other women and men thought about the issue?
