A scene from "DESTINED FOR LOVE" The interviewer asked Hoor, did it hurt to be alone after all that you had put into the relationship? Hoor took a deep breath and calmly responded: "You see, when I got married to this person, I didn't know him much or understand him. But I had a feeling that together he and I can carve a beautiful life because he had the ability to love if he wished to. It is sad he never wished for it. I tried and I fought for him. I fought a battle against his family for my wish to love him. With all the bullying from him and his family, I battled against myself every day to force myself into loving him. Twenty days after our first child was born, he deserted me, I even fought against him for the fascination of a dream world with him. I won my battles against everyone else, but I lost my battle against him. How does one win a battle against the person for whom you are fighting? I spent 15 years fighting with him for him. I do not feel sad because I lost time or lost the battle. I am not feeling hurt because I am alone. I am pained because I know I deserved better and yet I compromised my self-esteem all these years. There is no "Everything happens for the best" excuse for this stupidity. Plus, I set an unbelievably bad example for my daughters, which will take years to fix."
