“”you can’t imagine how difficult it can be for 1 spouse to feel no emotional connection and love from the other”

I never said it’s easy, but a lot of people have it much, much worse. What should those paralyzed, but their minds are intact say? What should the childless say? Who said life is easy? We need to focus on doing what is right!

We live in a very spoiled generation. Es kimt zich mir! There’s no appreciation for life, for every breath we take, for all the good that we DO have! “

I don’t disagree,per se, but the fact that someone else has worse tzoros, whatever they are, does not mitigate the pain of someone in a loveless marriage. It is not being spoiled, to want to feel emotionally and physically connected and close with your spouse.

Being paralyzed or childless Ch”v”Sh, has its own set of challenges. BTW, being childless can be a tremendous stressor in an otherwise happy marriage. Halachically, a man can divorce his wife after ten years, if they are childless (hopefully no one does so in this day and age). And while we absolutely SHOULD appreciate every breath we take, that has nothing whatsoever to do with remaining in a marriage that gives no comfort or joy to someone. You call that spoiled to want more out of life????
