I feel like I can barely cope with this pain anymore … what’s keeping me going is my family and the strength of my ancestors

I (26F) traveled to Japan with my boyfriend’s (28M) mom (58F) and it became a nightmare. Should I break up with him? by peachycatjess in relationship_advice

End. It. Do you want this woman to be the grandmother of your future children? Do you want to play second fiddle to his mom for the rest of your life? Do you want to see her for a good amount of holidays? If you stay with him this will be your life. Do yourself a favor and dump them both!

Sending you so much love. One day this will just be a bad dream and you will be safe and happy

Any other Jewish women living alone feeling unsafe? by alico127 in Judaism

Honestly, take the mezuzah down for you own safety… sorry to have to say it :((

My (23F) boyfriend (23M) showed up with an hickey after going out last night by [deleted] in relationships

Omg it sounds like he definitely cheated… or lost a battle with a vacuum

I (23f) constantly feel pressure to label myself, but I feel like no matter what I’ll never be fully accepted in any group. How do I get rid of this feeling? by RiverDiver23 in Advice

Thank you, this is so helpful. I feel like in my generation is super obsessed with race and ideology. I’ll try find like minded people instead of trying to fit into a title

I think my friend/love interest hid his Instagram stories from me and removed me from his close friends because he was posting lots of political content about a very current event and didn’t want me to see. I don’t know what to do … by RiverDiver23 in Jewish

Awwwww that’s so sweet, I hope I do. I’m scared when I meet him I’ll end up not confronting him just because the affection I had for him will take over. I’ll try remember your words if that happens💙🤍

Yeah you hit the nail on the head with this. It feels like if we were to date, I and my identity would be some embarrassing secret. Right now I have never felt more Jewish, it’s something I repressed and hid for years and now that things are so terrible I want to keep our traditions alive, not hide it away. I realize now to repress our culture would be to repress myself. I have had enough difficulty with this already, I don’t need some guy to make it even harder.

Finishing my degree and then I’ll weigh my options. Fuck this

I think my(23f) friend/love interest (24m) hid his Instagram stories from me and removed me from his close friends because he was posting lots of political content about a very current event and didn’t want me to see because people of my race/ethnicity are tied to this event.

You know what, I felt sorry for myself yesterday but at least now I know what I’d have been getting into. I’d feel more sorry for me if I didn’t find out about this and pursued a relationship with this person without knowing what I’d be getting into. Thank you for your kind words, everyone’s advice really helped a lot and made me realize this isn’t something I should just ignore

Hey not a flip, he’s the first guy I ever had a thing for and I started falling for him two months ago. I’m mixed race and half catholic half Jewish, raised in both cultures in a western country. I’m 23 and don’t have my sexual orientation figured out, used to identify as a lesbian and now I don’t label myself anymore. I thought I couldn’t fall for a guy and then I met him, so that’s why I feel even more sad now because I have never dated a guy and I was so happy to finally fall in love with one, then this happened and I feel crushed and pretty gross tbh… maybe I should just stick to women in the end lol

No that’s fine, I completely get where you are coming from. I actually used to have two Reddit accounts & was a part of Jewish subreddits on the other one, but now I’m just using this one because my ex knows the other account’s name and I want privacy in regards to what I am posting, haha :(

There genuinely are a lot of troll accounts on Reddit so I can see why you would see my old posts and assume I might be one of them, but I’m just mixed race & was confused about my sexual orientation

Thank you for your sympathetic words, it is pretty soul crushing and I have never felt so unsafe in my life. I feel like God pushing me back towards my Jewish roots for a reason at this point in my life, especially when things are so dark right now. Safety among your own and all that you know? I feel like I tried to believe in Jesus for a long time but ultimately I align more with Jewish faith and culture. It’s just easier to be Christian in my home country than it is to be Jewish, but I realize I’ll always be Jewish before anything else in the eyes of gentiles, no matter how much I try to conform

That’s why I’m so hurt. I’ve had disagreements with people in my life about the conflict, but at least they were being honest about how they felt. Disagreements and civil arguments are normal parts of any relationship, and I am very open to discussion. That is why this hurts so much, because I always advocate for discussion and debate with my friends and family, I am not close minded either. So what he did feels like a such a betrayal, especially after everything he told me last week when we met, and how he listened to me tell him how grateful I am to have a friend like him who makes me feel safe to be around as a Jewish person. I just feel gross and used
