My problem was that I hadn’t dealt with my dad’s infidelity and ultimate divorce. You are searching for something that can only be found inside of you.

Take a break and make friends first, this way you are not so pressured to find within this person that void that you can not fill with anything but your dad’s love.

Once you make peace with your self all the pieces will start to fit.
