We love her for her intelligence, candor, and commitment. In fact, a few readers have said to me that they "look forward to the day when" they each can meet her face to face.
Well, today, we wish Tjada a hearty "Mazal Tov" because she is newly engaged to be married.
And, would you believe it, the Breakup Doctor had a role to play! Not enough, I think to get "Olam Ha-Ba" credit, however.
Just for fun, I called Tjada on Friday afternoon to get her take on the Clinton-Obama mess. It was a good chat and at one point, she said something (I think we were talking about Jeremiah Wright) like, "talking to you is good for me, it gives me perspective."
So, I say, "what am I, the token white guy?" :-)
And we both say, "no, there's Joe." (her boyfriend)
At which point she says, "hey, let me ask you your opinion on a relationship issue."
I won't go into the details of it, but I'll just say that it is no different than most couples (and it is the number one reason for divorce).
Anyway, I gave her some suggestions and then pulled a line out from the Breakup Doctor Manual.
"Either we're having fun or we're in this together."
Well, tonight she emails me to say thanks for the advice, they had a healthy chat (the first step to a successful marriage, IMHO), and afterwards, Joe took her out for dinner and proposed. She even used the line!
The NFO and I are so pumped and invite you all to wish her the best.
