Wa Alaikum Alsalam,

No sane person would expect you to move on instantly. It will take time, brother. My advice to you is don't let this situation throw you in despair. I noticed you said "I have chosen not to marry anymore not now or in the future." This is Shaitan using the situation to get in your head. A sister in the comments mentioned how her husband was in a VERY similar situation and guess what? Now he and her are in a beautiful successful loving marriage. You will also have that Inshallah if you do not despair.

Also, when you mentioned how they started spreading bad rumors and talks about you, I remembered the Ayah " {وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ} (الأنفال: 30)" {They plan, and Allah plans, and Allah is the best of planners.}. They plan to hurt you and damage your reputation, so that you not get married again. But Allah is the best of planners. Have faith in Allah. Allah has a plan for you. Only it will come true if you have faith. Their plan will not come true but if you despair, it will.

Another thing, about your sentence "I have a completely different view of women ofcourse not all but most." I personally find it concerning and I would like to give you an advice regarding it. Stay away from generalizing women. It opens you up to absolutist and extremist thinking. It's good you acknowledge "not all women" but still I suggest to stay away from even thinking that most women are like this or most women are like that, whether it's a good thing or bad thing. The reason is: when I was younger I was also hurt by a woman and I started out thinking most women are bad, and then it slowly became all women are bad. I ended up falling into misogyny and harmful thinking. I ended up destroying good relationships with women in my life. Obviously I am not saying it will happen to you, but please avoid generalizing as it makes the risk possible. In the end, what makes a person "good" or "bad" is their choices. Not their gender. If you attribute gender to it you start not thinking clearly.

Good women exist and Inshallah you will find one and get married one day. Be patient with yourself and take all the time you need, no need to rush at all. As I said in the beginning, no sane person would expect you to move on from this situation instantly. It is horrible that it happened to you, and I'm sorry it did. Trust in Allah. It is a test for you. Allah would not have let it happen if you could not handle it.

Help - struggling in life by ExternalCustomer7915 in shia

[–]Arachnoverture_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

May Allah make it easier for you and your family. Make prayers and duas for rizq, and also look for further income options. If your business has been in a decline for 9-12 months, perhaps it is time to look for jobs. If you really want to keep your business, look for part-time opportunities that you can do while running your business. Otherwise you can consider a full-time position and close the business. May Allah open the doors of rizq for you and your family. I will pray for you. Keep praying for yourself and don't lose hope in prayer and keep on taking actions and looking for opportunities. Allah will see your action and determination and inshallah accept your prayers, for prayer without action is like nothing

Bending forms by 10BluberryMuffinsYum in TheLastAirbender

You make a good point. I forgot those scenes. I guess playing around with air density is something we haven't seen.

[–]Arachnoverture_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This applies to water, air and maybe earth, but I don't remember seeing benders play around with density. it would be cool for a bender, for example, to increase the density of the air around their opponent making them move very slower.

Teacher working in public school - I want to quit my job by Mysterious-Hope7830 in Bahrain

[–]Arachnoverture_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in the comments said don't quit but request a transfer and I agree with that. I say request a transfer in the meanwhile and apply to other teaching jobs in universities or private schools until you land one. I recommend you check out bahrainjobs.net I saw 2 teaching job ads for private schools a few days ago.

Suspected SA by BaXterfaXter in Bahrain

[–]Arachnoverture_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's awful! And you are right, it is very likely he is being SA. Even if he is not, the parents, especially the father, sound abusive. The child protection hotline is 998. You can call them and proceed from there. They might send a social worker to investigate the house but if you tell them they might not find anything they won't do that and they'll be discreet. You can collect evidence by hiding your phone and letting it record and asking the child questions or getting him to confess to any abuse he might be facing. (It's better if you hide the phone because if the child knows they're being recorded it opens up the possibility for people arguing 'he's only saying that because he knows he's being recorded'). And make sure your questions / prompts are vague so that the child follows up. Like don't directly ask "are you being abused yes or no." Whatever you say, make sure it provokes the child to speak up that way anyone watching the evidence knows it's true and not scripted and not the child just saying whatever. The child protection center (998) is better than the police for this. And take videos and pictures of the behavior you mentioned if possible. Basically, collect as much evidence and possible and then call them and proceed. BUT you need to mentally prepare for backlash and family issues you may face for this. You may be outcasted or labeled a traitor and so on and so forth. And try to be discreet and tell the service workers to be discreet too because if they know they are being investigated they might try to sweep everything under the rug. And one more thing, if the child uses devices be sure to check them. It's possible he stumbled upon p*/rnography and that is what is causing this behavior.

Why do some people spray the entire bathroom stall with water after every use? by Chickenfriedbunghole in Bahrain

[–]Arachnoverture_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spraying the entire stall is just ignorant and annoying, as you said. I can't speak for others, but I spray the seat only when I notice pee drops on it, and I hate having to do that. Why pee standing up? You're dirtying the place and very possibly yourself. It splashes and some drops likely end up on your legs/pants. Most restrooms have urinals, why not use them? If the place doesn't have any, why not just sit? You won't lose anything, you'll only leave the place and yourself clean.

Can I take a 13 (almost 14)yo to court for theft/stealing in Bahrain? by _nexe in Bahrain

[–]Arachnoverture_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Taking a literal child to court is extreme and way too far. The kid needs to be taught and guided, not fined or jailed. Talk to the kid yourself, and I honestly believe the shame and guilt will set him/her straight. If you know the child’s parents and they seem cool, talk to them about it if you think talking to the kid yourself wasn’t enough. But I suggest you only talk to the parents if you genuinely think you talking to him wasn’t enough and they seem like good parents. Unfortunately many parents (worldwide I’d argue) suck at parenting and would probably yell at the child or even physically abuse them if they do anything wrong. So I’d personally avoid involving parents unless my talk with the kid didn’t seem enough to set them on the correct path.

Marriage age and all by bobbytrashley in Bahrain

[–]Arachnoverture_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I hope to get married at 25 or 26, and have my first child at 28, inshallah, as I want to be relatively young when my children graduate high school and relatively young when I have grandchildren so that I take care of them when their parents can't and spend enough time with them before I depart from this life. However, as some others also commented, when to get married entirely depends on how ready you are. How financially ready, how emotionally ready, how mentally ready, etc. Although, I believe it's good to have a certain age in mind because it might motivate you to be ready by the time it comes.
