    Brilliant! Let me ask you, does there exist second hand smoke with e-cig?
    If not, why in the world can’t one use a ecig in public places?
    Punchline: Anti smoking agenda – has become an agenda unrelated to health, and the ecig is definitive proof.

    No matter what you cook up about e smoke, it’s for sure safer then real cigarettes, and MANY people stopped smoking in it’s merit. But the heartless agenda carries on – like most agenda’s, they end up soulless and unrelated to the original theme.

    Smoking is not healthy, nobody thinks it is, but people that spew hatred, and meaningless grouching at smokers – are most probably endangering their health more.

    The relevance of this question in the form presented is not clear. Assuming the question is comparing the challenges of an older bachelor vs. a divorcee, there are obviously tough challenges on both sides. What may be important to note is that divorcees/male are stigmatized excluded and treated as irrelevant in our “frum orthodox societies”. I n addition to the often being tortured in the divorce process , and maintaining relationship with children. Although impossible to compare or judge, a bachelor’s life is for sure very lonely and comes along with stigma, selfish advice and more, but is left to deal specifically with “being single” excluding the dirt, emotional strain etc. of divorcees.

    Listen Up! You will not believe this! The link to the auction was posted on a group chat, someones little brother took his phone and hit the bid button! The seller is not allowing him to cancel! He is threatening a din torah, claiming he’s a seasoned toyen (lawyer) and will get his money, and if not go to court! Furthermore he has contacted this person’s family members harassing them!

    As far as when to bring this up: The question should not be based on the number of dates, rather the point of relationship, and other variables. If there is something serious you suspect you must deal with it before the relationship get’s serious, otherwise you are hurting everyone. A basic picture of his divorce is mandatory before you meet, and then intuitively following up based on what you see.

    (Excluding very extreme cases) You will seldom get to the bottom of why he got divorced, besides for above mentioned “his story” her story”, usually there is no black on white one word answer (relationships that are not properly maintained go down hill, not in one day). What you really want to know is, what has he learned from his past? How has he grown? Worked on his issues (takes 2 to tango). Even more important: How did he behave in divorce?! How does he behave in the face of conflict? And then of course how he deals with his ex and his relationship with his children. Preferably you should talk with his mentor/rabbi before you meet, and then the serious pinpointed questions should be developed as you meet, if there is something you see, then do your research. Research means asking mature people that know the story firsthand, in cases of conflict, if your going to ask his enemies, your better off dropping him, as you will never receive accurate information. Marrying someone with life experience that has learned from their mistakes gives you more chances for success (not addressing the many other possible complications of second marriage).

    Yes, of course you are right. Do you honestly doubt it? Obviously people that are “under the influence” will not agree. Now the question is how to rectify the issue, and how to influence others constructively.

    Fascinating Replies!

    1)Most of these rentals are not legal in the first place, so for those obsessing themselves with legalities…

    2) Gamanit: (Maybe a corded keyboard would help?) “You mentioned his financial stability, but what about his emotional stability? Why isn’t he doing these phone calls?” Would you want to deal with this rejection? Or discrimination directly, or would it be more comfortable for someone to deal for you? (Corded Keyboard)

    3) DaasYochid: “Having reread the OP, I’m with Syag. I’m highly skeptical that someone would actually tell someone that they’re nervous that his relative is a stalker or predator”. I would be skeptical too! Why would people act like this, that’s all included in my original question, your basically saying wow this is crazy, duh.

    Sof davar everyone here seems to agree this is out of whack, no positive light to shine.

    To conclude I strongly suggest divorcees to follow up on BasementDweller’s advice, do not move to that town!

    Hi, nothing personnel intended but this thread sounds like a question answer forum with a lawyer! BasementDweller: Seems to have understood the issue. Clarification: This is not a legal question, it’s a “social” question, or maybe a “wake up cry” for those that understand the depth of where we have stooped.

    Again does anyone have positive light to shine?

    Logician: I searched through michtav 30, and I’m not sure what your referring too?

    “R’ Yisrael Salanter says clearly that you give someone what they want”

    where does he write this?

    If you mean the concept of doing the opposite for your friend, this would establish an important concept, but I don’t think this would answer the question, even if shimon were to understand that his “avodas hamidos” should be practiced on himself, this does not define “kumocha”.

    in reply to: Frum way to propose #1010349
    holy brother
    Participant

    Haleivi’s proposal would basically be asking her if she learns Reb Baruch Ber, or maybe he’s suggesting a testing communication with and umdenah?

    Unless he knows who your proposing too, generally even today’s biggest “lady-tiflus-lamdanim” don’t learn Reb Baruch Ber (nor R chaim).

    And if the plan to communicate is with umdenah, you can scratch the proposal!

    Best Idea is to be yourself! Don’t copy others, be real and propose with something that expresses YOUR interest!

    Fascinating to see how deep the “anti smoking” campaign has gone!

    Wake up dudes, the e-cig is obviously the best alternative to smoking (yes of course stopping is too-very smart), I know people that chain smoked 50 years that stopped.

    Let’s stop the “anti” and ignorant selfishness.

    Drop smoke is a very good option, he’s a great guy, trustworthy, with great service, he will help you with your specific needs. And no I don’t work for him, I’m a loyal customer.

    Avram: Thank you for your reply! I don’t understand your answer, what you replied was the basis for the question, if what reuven want’s is clearly not good, then your right.

    The question was in general what is the intention of “kumocha” the way the person in need understands it, or the way we understand it.

    Are you saying that generally speaking shimon should only love with his understanding? Hard to beleive.

    Thank you for your feedback! Let me add something here, the issue many times is not related to court and beis din as some pointed out, rather to the mother’s attitude. The written documents some times don’t equal the reality on the ground, it would be great to imagine that everything is dependent on them, but the fact is many times it’s not.

    Who can and can not properly care for the children, is very rarely decided truthfully on the reality.

    So leave boteiy din, courts, and signed documents out,is anyone getting the drift?!!

    J”S was contacted and offered to settle a part of “his” crisis” by changing “ora” (a-agunot) to “orc” c-children.

    Kudos to oomis, and wolfish! Leave the children out! and don’t withhold children for money!

    Broklyn shadchan: Very valid point, from what i understand the new ruke in lakewood that boys over 22.5 will not be acepted is not only meant to bridge the 6 months gap, but also to possibly minimize and possibly illiminate boys going to e”y. But there are a few points that are not acurate. 1.A large portion of the boys officialy go to brisk which is somewhat a new derech halimud which one can’t receive in the us. 2.Alot of boys are not mature enough yet. 3. There was a meeting of roshey yeshivos a while back trying to acheive this but the boys are not holding by listening to this. 4. This might blow some peoples minds, but from my expierience with loads of boys in e”y a large percentage are going down there and the world sits by quietly, im saying this from first hand expierience.

    1. To withhold a get in such a situation where the children are being held back from the father, is not only mutar, it is advised, its mandatory, how can a father give up his children like that based on false claims?

    3. Even after giving a so called peaceful get his wife treats him like a peace of garbage, does whatever she would like, if he would have held off the get for a while he might have taught her a lesson or two, which is what the rabbanim were suggesting.

    4. A few tips: Once you see your spouse is under the influence of her parents, friends, and is lying, you cannot depend on the marriage counselors or rabbanim, because she can be directed to take action against you behind your back. (My friend was tricked by her to leave the house for a few days until a proper separation is set up, the rabbanim took resbonsibilty that it will stay status quo!)

    6. We must organize a processes where only rabbanim that have the proper experience and guidance can state opinions in a divorce situation, any rav that gets involved without meeting both sides is automatically not relevant.

    The uz nidbiru (r binyomin zilbershtein zt”l) paskens that its better to sit next to a girl then behind her. cuz he brings a rayah that theres a din of “achoreiy isha” even by sitting.

    but for all those willing to deal with arayos issues head on , heres a little secret, the gemorah says that 2 specific amurayim are considerd tznuim legabey yichad and the mechaber paskens like that so anyone today acording to mechaber is considered prutzim and in a workplace with closed door wont help a feelow yid, even acording to the remah whos meykil r moshe says someone who watches tv is considered a parutz and duznt help for yichud, go figure how many ppl working with females are forgetting this. this is without adressing the real tzniyus issues goin on in workplaces. The amurayim had to deal with arayos somehow we got better????????????

    BP TATTY: With respect, ur friend is mistaken being part of the bigger family or klal does not contradict whatsoever self esteem and self worth, on the contrary belonging builds self esteem, the issue is when we have so many ppl looking and doing the same, for example even in volozin where everone learnt torah, there were so many individuals and drachim that this issue didnt surface.

    Sacrilege: NO WAY, mussar is introspection, on the contrary mussar that is learnt properly builds the person.

    WELLINFORMEDYID: Gadls hadam is def not the same, although gadlus hadam might help self esteem.

    The way i see it, ppl were more real, more individual, ppl thought more, and did things with thought, the level of “adom” went down to a point were we dont know who we are.

    Besides there is a machlokes rishonim in regards to the shutah that pas kisnen is “memmulah” filled if its only when its filled with sweets or even a mainstay, the shulachan aruch paskens acording to the mg”a that “pashtidah” is pas gamur, pizza is exactly pashtidah so pashtus pizza is not pas kisnin
