[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Jewish man.  I'm a little surprised that none of the responses mentioned the impact of October 7 and Israel's response to it on romantic relationships.  For some people, October 7 was just another unpleasant headline, but for some people October 7 was a defining moment.

October 7 has put major stress on some relationships. Since then, I've noticed that many people seem to react differently to me and pretty much all Jews. I sometimes feel like Jews have become the most hated ethnic group in America.  I've been experiencing or observing mild antisemitism on at least a weekly and sometimes daily basis, even though I hate Netanyahu and support a two state solution.  (By the way, the worst offenders are usually white progressive women, not Muslim women, who tend to be very good at having nuanced conversations about the Middle East.)  I personally have felt closer to my Jewish identify since October 7 and I would not be surprised if something similar happened to OP's boyfriend.  That said, I still like non-Jewish women, and I don't fault OP.[/quote]

Jewish woman. I totally relate to this. Still think guy is a jerk, though. He could literally say that. This has made me rethink my feelings about marrying a non Jewish woman. At least it would be honest. [/quote]
