Maybe, but they won’t admit it.
Overheard at a play about Rabbi Akiva: my husband and I were thinking it was time to leave kollel but after this, I’m determined that he should keep going.
Beautiful, yes? But not for a young man who feels it’s time to move on and fully assume his responsibilities. These kids need a guilt-free exit strategy, and in an ideal world it should be with the feedback and guidance of a mentor, rebbe (in either litvish/chassidishe sense), etc.
