Hi I just watched your video that you posted today about ‘why is it so hard to find my soulmate’. I am just so confused. I got divorced a year ago. When we were dating, he seemed so great and spiritual. He would learn with me and teach me things and encourage me to improve and was so caring. After we married he became more and more abusive in every possible way. He stopped learning. It was horrible. I was literally getting sick from the stress of abuse and his stopping caring about Torah. Thank Gd I got my get. But I’m confused because I thought he was the right one. And I don’t understand what happened-he became not the person I dared. And I don’t know what to do now to find the right person. I am constantly trying to improve myself but maybe I’m not doing something the right way. Do you have any advice on how I can find the actual right person for me and on explaining what happened to me? Thanks

Shalom,   The Torah teaches us that a man must earn his soulmate.     If you feel that the relationship that you had was a waste perhaps you should try to give as much of your time and energy to help others get married.  The Torah teaches that once a person makes three matches they’re helped to find their intended match.   never give up and Best Wishes——   R.Yosef Karpman
