Yes, Arin, I agree. I feel sad for Jess and Eman (and a bit for me too 😥) but I also know that their love for each other has been an important witness and healing influence in the world and I think after some time it will continue to be, just in a different form. Because they're both amazing, thoughtful people with big hearts. ❤️
I’m so sorry, Jess. This is such a beautiful piece, a kind of tribute to your love and your loss. I’ve admired both of you, together and separately. Years ago, when I was going through a painful divorce, a wise counselor said to me, « It worked for a while and then it didn’t and that’s okay. » You’re finding your own way through this with grace and people along the way will say and do things that will make a difference. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing this with us. ❤️
I'm so sorry you've had this kind of tough year, and I couldn't empathize more. I'm over 2 years attempting to get a divorce settled myself.
There are many silver linings, though. A big one is not having to go to any family events on her side (I have zero family here). She (Jewish) is an outspoken anti-Zionist. Her family, however, is not.. I'm ethnically Coptic. Holidays were...interesting. There's no way I could keep my mouth shut with what's happening now.
As I'm sure you know, this will definitely turn out for the better, be the ride is most likely going to suck. It has me reconsidering my entire life and what really matters to me.
So sorry to hear this. I was dumped by my fiancé over a year ago and is nowhere near the maturity you show. So sad for your loss, I understand it must be absurd to know so much and cause so much uncomfortable feelings with people who should be on your (anti Zionist) side. I hope you take care of yourself, and keep the unique perspectives you have. The world will never be the same, and you are such an important voice. Lots of love!
Oh man, that's tough. You're entitled to some immaturity. At the stage of a relationship, it's so unexpected. It should be the happiest time. I'm sorry. Thank you for these very sweet words. xo
Thank you Jess. Sending you all my love and respect. 🤗❤️ And I follow Eman separately and send her my love and respect there too.
I plan to get to your comedy video in the next while but it's hard to laugh these days! So, I'll give myself a loose kinda schedule for that!
As I said in my DM, write articles here on Substack when you get around to it. I view my subscription as kind of back pay for all you've been doing in public platforms (and privately, for that matter) over the years esp since October 7.
You’re an amazing writer, Jess. Sorry for all the hardships you’ve endured in the last year. I admire your ability to turn it into beautiful prose. Sending you love.
I’m so sorry, Jess. I’m so impressed by how much compassion and emotional depth you offer up in all your work, despite the heavy pain. Courage, friend. Divorce sucks but it gets easier. I’m grateful for you. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for everything you've been going through. Thank you for sharing it all, and so eloquently. I feel like you've given so much to me and all the others you've educated and moved with everything you've written in the past awful year, I wish I do more for you than offer these words of encouragement. I just hope they help a little.
This is so heartbreaking 💔, but somehow still a love story. The kind like an underground river. Changing shape, but not its hidden depths.
This is a lovely comparison, thank you.

This too shall pass, or so they tell me.
