Reply To: Kollel Life vs. “Reality”

“I keep looking at the title of this thread and it’s really bothering me.”

ames- I put the word reality in quotes because of the classic parent line: “You aren’t being realistic.”

I totally agree with what your teacher said– that I can’t feel like I’m being a martyr in supporting my husband- I should be proud of it and not feel like I’m missing out! My point wasn’t: “How am I going to have enough money to have a husband learning and still afford all of the luxuries that today’s society has convinced us are necessities?” it was more like “How am I going to support a husband in learning and not end up on welfare and foodstamps?” See the difference?
