This week's question comes from Holly:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
Thank you for all the direction and wisdom you have shared through the years. I love your newsletters! I am still perplexed as to how to find answers to more questions so I’m going to give it a go and ask them here…
Do men ever want any relationship sorta kinda close to what women ache for? And why don’t men ever try to offer any kind of love even close to what women offer? Woman are constantly "available" time & dime & energy & emotion wise so why are men consistently "unavailable" and its women’s fault?
This whole "blocks to love" talk is confusing to me. Women seem to always be wanting

How do I forgive myself?
This week's question comes from Grace:
Hey Orna and Matthew,
I'm not sure if I'll get a reply, but I know you give the best advice and I'm in need of some expert advice after seeing your video on YouTube about forgiveness.
I can't seem to forgive myself for being with someone else when I was split from my partner. We eventually got back together but it didn’t work out and I’m convinced that it was my guilty feelings that kept me from being in it fully.
I can't believe that I could meet another man during when I was split with my partner and I'm constantly beating myself up because of it. I met up with this other man about a week after- he was just a friend at

Where is my soulmate?
"Hi Orna and Matthew!
I really love reading your Love Notes. They are so inspiring.
I have one question regarding my soulmate. I have been trying to manifest my perfect soulmate for the past two years but haven’t found him so far. I have created a vision of him and I keep setting the intention that he will show up.
I am not sure what else I’m supposed to be doing. I hope that you can give me some advice to find my soulmate! I’m getting tired of waiting for him.
Thanks!"

Are you creating disconnection?
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I’m hoping you can help me because I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I picked you two because I think you give the best dating advice for women – I’ve read ALL the other blogs. I also like that I get a point of view from each of you.
So here’s where things went wrong…
I met a guy online who lives in another state and after about a month of “Skype Dates” he flew to meet me over a weekend.
The really weird part is that the first night we were out, after having a great time dancing together we stopped into a bar and my ex was there with his wife. I’m over him… but it really through me for a loop.
It was late, we decided to leave and as I

Struggling to find a good man?
This week's question comes from Robin:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I am so tired of dating! I’ve been divorced for 10 years and dating for the last 6 or so and I can’t find any quality men. They are either bitter from their divorces, they don’t want to actually be in a relationship, or they’re just emotionally unavailable.
Where are all the conscious men who are actually looking for love that you talk about? I only seem to meet the losers!
The problem is I really want to find a good man. I dream of living my life with my soulmate and I yearn to find a man who wants what I want. I’m getting frustrated and some days just want to give up.
Please

How to move on from an affair?
Hi Orna and Matthew,
I read your emails regularly, your wisdom is evident, but I rarely see anything that quite relates to my situation....
My husband of 30 years left me 4 years ago. We tried Counseling for 6 months and whilst the Counselor was very positive about our relationship, my husband said he didn't want to save our marriage, and he moved out.
I discovered later that he had been having an affair for almost a year before then - although he has never admitted it to me and pretends he lives alone.
Whilst this all seems pretty normal and too common, things are not quite that straightforward.
We have a business together and still work together every
