A woman recounts her journey of self-discovery after rebelling against the strict confines of her Hasidic life. She shares her experiences with online chatrooms, a forbidden encounter in a parking lot, and the challenges she faces trying to navigate divorce within a rigid religious community.
My wife cooked a kosher meal, and I am dropping it off at the hospital. Meet you at the parking lot off Exit 43?It was late winter, and Motty was the fourth man I’d met in person over the last few months — out of the dozens I’d chatted with since the fall — in an online chatroom while still in my Hasidic marriage.
Then, I stumbled upon a chatroom for heimish people. This term was used in the Hasidic community to describe insiders, so I knew these were my people. On the surface, it seemed like a chatroom for general conversation, but most conversations veered quickly toward sex. The laptop sat in the sewing room, a closet-sized space with white double doors that opened to the family room. When we’d moved into the large home my parents built us several years earlier, I worked as a seamstress. I later enrolled in college, and the room doubled as an office. I spent more time in the room when I began an online MBA program in 2012.
I had amazing sex with my wife yesterday. Do you want to hear about it? Tell me. What are you wearing?Several days later, the fear was gone, and the intoxicating pull was back. I was back on my laptop, chatting with other men.Imagine coming with me to the beach. Have you ever worn a bikini? I leaned back in my chair and did what he said, feeling the intoxicating pleasure wash over me.
The youngest of five boys, he was a precocious child and, as a teen, recognized as a future scholar. He took his role seriously, rarely involving himself in mundane matters and focusing on his studies. As a young woman, I was so proud to be matched up with a scholar, and I saw him as righteous and noble.
