“My wife and I have been married for 15 years, and we have a lot of good times together. But every so often, we get stuck in the same frustrating loop. Just the other day, she opened up about how overwhelmed she feels managing the house and kids on her own while I’m out working long hours. I instantly jumped into “explain and defend” mode—I mean, I really do work hard to support us! But instead of helping, that only made things worse. The conversation spiraled into a fight, and we didn’t talk much for the next three days. Honestly, this kind of thing happens about once a month. I care deeply about her and want to break the cycle, but I’m not sure how. Where do we even begin? ” • Aharon Schmidt replies, from the Living Jewish’s Farbrengen column • Read More

We are a group of five women friends who make time once a week to go out for breakfast together. However, one woman in the group is very conceited. She rarely shows interest in anyone else and tends to dominate the conversation by talking about herself. This frustrates me and fills me with resentment and negativity. How can I stop feeling this way? • Aharon Schmidt replies, from the Living Jewish’s Farbrengen column • Read More

“My marriage has been very difficult almost from the beginning. Recently, I learned about verbal and emotional abuse, and I suspect I might be in such a relationship. But how can I know if my husband is verbally abusive? Maybe he’s just challenging, or maybe it’s my fault. I don’t know—but much of what I’ve read seems to describe my situation” • Aharon Schmidt replies, from the Living Jewish’s Farbrengen column • Read More

After Pesach, I want a vacation, but my husband isn’t enthusiastic. He’ll go if I insist, but I’d much rather he be excited about it. I’m exhausted from Pesach and caring for the kids, but he prefers staying home to learn and relax. This situation is frustrating for me • By Aharon Schmidt, from the Living Jewish’s Farbrengen column • Read More
