What do you feel is the reason that there are so many broken engagements?

January 27, 2011 7:35 pm at 7:35 pm #732683OfcourseMemberWe can only guess the reasons.
Theres more of everything bad unfortunately…. cancer,heart disease, young deaths, divorce, selfishness, assorted scandals, … But there’s more positive than we’ve ever had, as well, more Torah Lishma, chesed, kiruv, selflessness, bravery, etc in the frum community as well.

January 27, 2011 7:57 pm at 7:57 pm #732688real-briskerMemberSo why is your question why are there so many broken engagments, and you dont ask about divorces?
January 27, 2011 8:02 pm at 8:02 pm #732689popa_bar_abbaParticipantToo much speaking and spending time together during the engagement
I can’t argue with that. After all, if you never talk, you’ll never have a reason to break it.
Of course if you never get married, you could never get divorced.
January 27, 2011 8:13 pm at 8:13 pm #732690truth be toldMemberPopa, I usually am enlightened by your comments. I disagree with this one.
Too much talking during engagement, especially if its a long engagement, can lead to lots of frustration. Desires exist and are aroused, but have to be shut down. It can lead to feeling frustrated at the “situation”, and eventually, at the future spouse.

January 27, 2011 9:29 pm at 9:29 pm #732695doodle jumpParticipantI did not realize that there were many broken engagements. Sad. But it’s better now than later.
