Not that I have an answer for them what to do, but just to say a maaseh maybe maybe it'll give them a little bit chizuk. Um I'm not advertising. The story goes like this. There was an older girl and she was looking for a shidduch. And some shadchan set her up with a boy. And she went out with the boy few times. And she went out with many boys before that and they were not metzliach by any means. But this one boy he she felt that she had all the right middos and all the all the things that a she wanted for in a husband. And so she was seriously considering him. However, he had one major chissaron. And that was that on his face he had a big nasty scar. And she had a hard time looking past that scar. A famous story. So whoever knows the story is I'd rather and if you don't know the story is then now you know my version of the story. But so the maaseh she wasn't ready to move ahead. So the boy stopped her and said to maaseh like what's the story? He wanted to know
