QUESTION:
My husband is so diligent in his learning that he doesn’t go to sleep until he’s exhausted. I am not able to get my needs from him, physically and emotionally, because he’s too tired. I already spoke to him many times about this and he says that he wants to change, but he said that he has a nature that he can’t go to sleep at night until he finishes what he’s in the middle of learning. How can I respect him in spite of the fact that he doesn’t give me my needs? Also, what can I do to change the situation?
ANSWER:
Firstly, respect him for being aware of his shortcoming and also because he says that he wants to change. Set aside regular time in which the two of you spend time together. With the help of Hashem, after making this agreement, he will be able to keep to it.
