I pulled my hands away when she reached for me across that Starbucks table… and in her eyes, I saw the hurt of someone who thought they were being rejected. I wasn’t pulling away because I didn’t want her. I was pulling away because I had never felt that much love before, and I didn’t know how to hold it.

There’s a moment in every real relationship where “falling in love” isn’t enough anymore. You either protect yourself… or you jump.

Most experts say you should wait months before introducing your children to a new partner. We waited 9 days. In Episode 4 of "My Soulmate Named Adel," I take you back to the terrifying, awkward, and beautiful moment our two families collided inside a bowling alley.

For years, my wife Adel hid the things she loved. Not because she couldn’t afford them. Not because she was irresponsible. But because someone once made her feel wrong for wanting them. This episode of My Soulmate Named Adel tells the true story of how shame can quietly teach us to shrink - and how love, patience, and being truly seen can help us take our lives back.

After 26 years of loving the way we’re told to love, I lost Adel, my soulmate. And only after she was gone did I begin to understand what love was really teaching us. In this episode of My Soulmate Named Adel, I share the quiet lessons that only reveal themselves after loss, lessons about presence, silence, shared time, and the kind of love that grows not through perfection, but through attention.  If you’ve loved deeply… If you’ve lost someone who still lives inside you… This episode is for you.

The hardest speech I’ve ever given was at my wife’s Celebration of Life. I stood in front of family, friends, and colleagues, knowing that whatever I said first would shape how they remembered us. You only get one opening line in a moment like that. Mine silenced the room.

Have you ever met someone and felt something quietly shift inside you?

Not fireworks. Not perfection.

Just a strange sense that something in your life has changed.

In East Asian folklore there is a belief that the people we are meant to love are already connected to us by an invisible red string.

You cannot see it. You cannot control it.

But somehow it pulls two lives together until one day they meet.

One of the most revealing relationship moments Adel and I ever experienced… came on a day when everything went wrong in Barcelona. What started as a simple trip turned into a cascade of mistakes: • Lost train tickets • The wrong train • The wrong station • A locked gate late at night And somehow… it became one of the funniest, most meaningful days of our entire relationship.

Most of us wait for the big moments to celebrate love.

The anniversaries. The milestones. The occasions that feel important enough to mark.

But Adel and I had a different tradition. Every week — for over fourteen years — we celebrated what we called our week-anniversary. Not with grand gestures. Just with presence. With the quiet, deliberate choice to say: this week mattered. And so did you.

Some seasons of life feel expansive… like they’ll go on forever.
This was one of those seasons for us.

A trip that deepened everything—our connection, our dreams, our belief in the future—
before we had any idea how quickly life was about to change.

There are moments in a relationship that quietly redefine everything, not because of what they take away, but because of what they reveal. We had just returned from Europe, feeling as though life was finally opening up. We had made a decision together: to restructure our days, to lean into time, to live more deliberately. Within weeks of coming home, a phone call changed all of it.
