Has anyone had any issues with non-Jewish partners in the wake of the October 7th attacks? Has it created distance in your relationships?

It was pretty much the nail in the coffin for me dating Shiksas, it was hard enough explaining my culture and wanting the same for my kids. This experience has fully cemented, that as non-Jews it is not the same to understand our plight (not impossible, but after some harder breakups because of religion, it’s not worth my time).

That’s a very insulting word. No one is forcing you to date non-Jews. This is a free country. Date whoever you want.

Definitely added some distance in my relationships with non-Jews, although some of that may be self-imposed. Most of my closer non-Jewish friends haven’t said or done anything bad, they just are not aware of the dramatic spike in antisemitism since Oct 7. And I don’t have the energy to explain that I’m depressed on a random Monday because of a hate crime that happened over the weekend or some performative bullshit a celebrity said that isn’t helping anyone.

I work fully remotely so I fortunately don’t have to deal with nastiness in an office environment or during a commute.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
