I reread the original post and it sounded as though he thought you already knew you'd be on the couch that night so he offered you a blanket. Is it possible he did already mention that was part of his faith and you just didn't pay enough attention to realize how it would affect you? That can happen in every religion.

A Christian might mention that they go to early services on Sunday, but the match might still be surprised when the first Saturday night date ends at ten so they can wake up in time.

Yes, this has nothing to do with you personally. Do a little reading about Judaism.
Not all branches of Judaism believe this. I have dated several Jewish men and have never encountered this or even ever heard mention of it in passing. I believe only the Orthodox Jews pay any attention, and from what I just read it said they avoid intercourse and intimacy until the woman takes a ritual bath.

The fact that the OP's guy is dating a non-Orthodox Jew means he can't really be following all the rules of his religion in the first place. I would find his stance confusing and non-compatible with establishing a relationship outside his religion.

You shouldn't feel dirty!!! He should feel like a self righteous, sexist, over zealous, religious fundamentalist lunatic.

If I were a woman and anyone said anything like that to me, I'd be out the door in two seconds and let him know exactly what I thought of his stupid culture.
The thing is, you're not bothering to take in another's religious beliefs into account. It's not zealotry. He's not making her into a second class citizen. It was a miscommunication. Lighten up.

I suppose if you dated a beautiful woman who told you her religion prevented her from having sex until she was married, you'd call her a religious fanatic as well.

Are you just baiting us now? I find it really hard to believe in this day and age someone can make so many ignorant comments!!!

It is like a stereotypical redneck visiting the forums.
