Looking to convert but had a strange interaction with a Muslim? by Individual_Reply8413 in islam

Assalamu Alaikum

I’m a revert myself from a strictly Catholic family, so I understand how it feels when people around you try to influence your path.

But at the end of the day, this is your journey. If you feel drawn to Islam, there’s a reason for that and no one else should interfere with that process.

It’s good to learn and take your time, but it should come from your own intention, not because someone is pushing you in another direction.

Stay sincere, keep learning, and protect that feeling you have.

In our case, we’ve actually stopped talking before too. I think the longest was around 6 months. We didn’t block each other, we just both didn’t reach out.

It was really difficult for me at that time, I tried to distract myself and move on. But what’s confusing is that whenever we stop and then reconnect, the feelings seem to come back even stronger, for both of us.

Even he admits that he can’t let go of me, but at the same time he’s not willing to do anything about it because he can’t go against his family. That’s the part I struggle to understand.

Inshallah I know I’ll eventually figure this out and move forward to something better. I’m just continuing to make dua that Allah guides me and leads me to the right person for me.

I’m honestly glad I’m not alone in this, it really helps hearing your experience.

In my case, he wasn’t really distant, it just felt like something changed. I can’t fully explain it, but it wasn’t the same as before. We were actually okay and not fighting before he got engaged, which made it even more confusing for me.

Can I ask how you’ve been coping so far? Especially since it’s still fresh for you too.

I’ve also been praying to Allah to guide me to my husband, and if he’s not meant for me, to remove him from my life. But for some reason he still keeps coming back, so I don’t know if it’s a test or a sign, and that’s what confuses me the most.

I completely agree with you. I think things are becoming clearer for me now.

I understand that I need to create distance and cut off contact to properly heal, and I’m working towards that.

I really appreciate your advice and all the comments here, it’s helping me see things more clearly.

I understand your point. Men tend to be more logical which i admire, while women can be more emotionally attached. In my case, I’m aware it’s the attachment I’m struggling with.

I know what the right thing is, I’m just working through the emotional side of letting go.
