I've had three miscarriages and my husband won't wear a yarmulke
I'm struggling on too many fronts -- religion, fertility, parenting philosophy, even employment.
By Cary Tennis [2007-08-31]

  • kippah

    Your husband is being a jerk. He apparently feels the need to make an in your face statement to those worshipping around him that HE doesn't this shit. Why? Conceit perhaps, or passive aggression towards you? I dunno, but perhaps you do.

    There is no valid "principle" here. What is the skin off an atheist's nose to respectfully don a kippah out of respect to those he is with who are worshipping. What, is it going to ruin his atheist cred in his atheist hang out - "Dude, I saw you wearing a yarmulke; that means you believe - nah nah na nah nah." He's not living up to his premarital commitment to you by standing on a phony "principle." That's how I see it, for what little it may be worth.

    Been there on the infertility thing. Finally lucked out and now have a 6 year old daughter. I wish you the same blessing. Hang in there.
