“You should also try to be practical and accept the reality that you have to meet someone else, and the best way to be a desirable shidduch, is by being b’simcha and showing a warm and together picture to the world.”
Absolutely. It took awhile to realize that, but thank god I have.

“It is painful, can even feel like a death (it kind of is – the death of a relationship, the death of the potential for a life with the other person).”
Interesting, that’s exactly what my therapist at the time told me. That’s exactly what it felt like. Something inside me died along with the relationship.
