Health: “Is that why you are hesitant to get married – because your parents got divorced & there was a lot of fighting?!?”

Who said I was hesitant to get married??!! Talk about making assumptions!!! One of the most common stereotypes around is that anyone who is older and single is obviously too picky.

And now I’m just waiting now for you to continue with the rest of the stereotype and go on to assume that obviously the reason I’m not married yet must be that all along I have been refusing to go out with guys who were working, and that is the right thing to do when you are in your 20’s, but at my age it is wrong to give preference to guys in Klei Kodesh.

(Count the assumptions there: 1. When I was younger, I only wanted someone learning, and refused to go out with anyone who was working. 2. I still only want someone learning and refuse to go out with someone who is working. 3. When you are young, you are only supposed to only go out with guys who are learning. 4. When you are older you are not allowed to give preference to guys in Klei Kodesh.)

I’m not following your example and assuming you are making those assumptions. I am just saying that they usually go together with your above assumption.
