Which is why I can't quite categorize it as 'fiction', so much as I can say that B"H - I can't at all relate. On a side note, from the physical aspect, it is not a condemnation of Chassidic marriages at all. Passionless & loveless sex can occur anyplace anytime - whether in a longterm marriage or a misbegotten one night stand.

This is the best essay I have read on this site. I felt like I knew the protagonist, like I could feel what she felt even though I am not in her situation at all. Bravo, Tzippy.
