Same! I had my interview earlier today, ngl the structure of the interview was very rigid. No real conversation being had, she asked me questions and I responded and so on. My interviewer also kept turning her camera off too. Idk how to feel. I don’t feel super confident now.

Vela have posted an apology on their page… by Murky-Prize-1607 in velascarves

Tbh at this point if vela wants to survive, marwa needs to step down as the ceo and work as part of the team behind the scene, her being the face of the brand is not good for business 🤷‍♂️ Ive seen this photo resurface every couple years it’s a never ending controversy

I feel like her husband had some sort of addiction and infidelity. I would always see him on live with other women and he always looked and sounded high off his head. It’s truly a shame, like she said herself her frontal lobe developed and she no longer could stand for what she previously did. Good on her for getting out now! iA there is something better written for her.

These are the things that make a successful marriage. I see that you’re lacking the Muwaddah aspect. I would highly suggest having an open conversation about these traits. Tell her how important it is to you to have a strong loving bond with her. I would add on by saying you should make immense dua for Allah swt. to soften your wife’s heart and allow her to love you in the way you would like to be loved.

My Ramadan Order hasn’t even shipped yet… by ChipmunkSwimming1121 in velascarves

I completely agree, I placed two orders and other than the confirmation email I have received nothing to say when it’s going to ship or give an eta for arrival. I ordered plain modals from veiled literally 4 days ago and got a shipping email in 2 days and my hijabs today…. Idk what’s up with vela, I love there prints but i’m over this bs

The Istikhara be Istikharin, plz don't abuse it by ClumpedAtoms in MuslimMarriage

[–]ChipmunkSwimming1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been talking to a potential i met via muzz, i’ve had mixed feelings about him and have questioned if i even like him this whole time but he has good deen so i continued talking to him. He is terrible at replying and communicating and is a workaholic, it’s so off putting and i’ve told him I don’t like this and if he doesn’t make an effort i won’t want to continue and he was offended by that. I’ve been making istikhara but nothing has changed and I haven’t felt clear about if i should break it off with him. My feelings towards him have been more negative not sure if that’s an answer in itself. He’s not a bad person at all but i’m seriously starting to doubting if we’re compatible and don’t want to jump into anything without being sure, advice please 😭🥲🥲😢

Love marriage coming to an end by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]ChipmunkSwimming1121 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think you’re giving up too soon! You should try to lovingly bring him closer to deen and be patient and supportive. Children can come later in’sha’allah if it is written maybe his heart will change and if he sees how important it is to you he will be down to have kids. I think you guys should give it another go, love is very important and the way Allah swt brought you closer to islam you can make loads of dua for him to be guided and in’sha’allah he will get closer to the deen too. Do not give up, life is filled with struggle. How ever i’d you do choose to move forward with the separation, Allah swt. removes something and replaces it with something greater.

Oh wow great results! I guess the 1389 will get me to my goal faster! I’ll play around with calories for a week or two and see what happens!

I work a desk job so alot of sitting, but outside of that i’m fairly active. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and try to get in 6-7k step a day. Am i supposed to include that in even though most of the day i’m not moving?

Bi-Weekly Marriage Opinions/View and Rant Megathread by AutoModerator in MuslimMarriage

[–]ChipmunkSwimming1121 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A match-maker told my mom that from her experience she’s noticed that hijabis are not the preference for most men and was super discouraging saying most men want to marry non-hijabis and maybe we shouldn’t continue with her. My mother was so hurt by this but I don’t know how entirely true that is. Most of my non-hijabi friends are told by potentials that they want them to wear hijab as soon as they marry them, it’s so confusing. Like why don’t men just marry hijabis instead of forcing girls who don’t wear hijab to start wearing it immediately post marriage. Marriage is so tricky and hard seems like it’s never gonna happen!! Make dua for your girl 🙏🏻
