Am I Destined To Be Alone?
This week's question comes from Maggie:
"Hello Orna and Matthew,

I don’t know why this is so hard for me to

"Hi Orna and Matthew,
Will I ever find love again?
I hope you can help me. I’ve been a long time reader and really think you give great advice. I have been feeling a lot of despair lately with the state of the world.
