I don&#8217;t know, but I just can&#8217;t see myself having to sit in kolel for the next who knows how many years just because my future wife and father in law thinks that that is what I am. I can see myself having a shiur every day after work but not to be stuck in a kolel for many years. It&#8217;s just not me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I love that his email is so heartfelt, but also that even though the situation seems specific to his community, switch a few words and it&#8217;s totally something you&#8217;d hear from an Asian kid complaining about his mom.
