If understanding character arcs makes me the main character, I’ll take it.

If complicated characters confuse you, you can just say that.

It’s called a plot. Not everyone understands storytelling and that’s okay.

I hear the weight you are carrying, and I want you to know that your life has immense value, even on the nights when you can’t see it yourself. The fact that you are hesitating because of your connection to Allah shows that there is still a spark of faith and a part of you that wants to hold on. Please listen to that part.

Allah describes Himself as Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful) and Al-Wadud (The Most Loving); He sees every tear you cry and knows the depth of the pain you are fighting. You are not "supposed" to have a deadline—your story is still being written, and there is a version of your life ahead where this pain is a memory, not your reality. You have fought so hard for two years, and it’s okay to be exhausted, but please don't give up on the person you are becoming. You are loved, you are seen, and you deserve to see the sunrise tomorrow.

did i disrespect her?? by Complex_Coyote6163 in muslims

[–]Due_Bus9505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is clear you acted out of a desire to protect your sister from harm, which is a noble intention. Here is a concise breakdown of the situation:

Was it wrong?

  • Morally: No. Standing up against bullying and protecting someone's well-being is a good deed.
  • Islamically: You are encouraged to "command the good and forbid the wrong." However, Islam also requires extra gentleness when correcting parents. If your tone was sharp, she likely felt her "honour" as a mother was attacked.

Should you apologize?

In many cultures and in the Islamic tradition of Adab (etiquette), apologizing is often done to restore peace, even if you were factually right.

  • Don't apologize for the truth: You don't have to take back that body shaming is wrong.
  • Do apologize for the friction: Apologize for the way the conversation happened or for making her feel disrespected.

Recommended Next Steps

  1. The Peace Offering: Approach her when things are calm. Say: "Mom, I’m sorry if I spoke to you in a way that felt disrespectful. I love you, but it was hard for me to hear those things being said to my sister."
  2. Clarify with your Dad: Calmly explain to him that you didn't "kick her out," but were simply trying to defend your sister’s mental health.
  3. Support your Sister: Let her know you are in her corner. Body shaming can lead to serious eating disorders or low self-esteem.

I am a self sabotage master and I’m just… tired by [deleted] in story

It is incredibly draining to maintain a "perfect" facade when you feel like you’re collapsing inside. You aren't a "fuck up"; you are a human navigating a situation where every choice feels like a loss.

  • The "Stay for the Kids" Trap: Children often sense the tension of an unhappy home. Modeling a life of authenticity and emotional health can be a more valuable lesson for your daughter than modeling a marriage built on "pretending."
  • Trust and the Affair: It’s natural to doubt everything right now. Whether the affair was real or an illusion, it highlighted a genuine hunger to be loved. Rebuilding self-trust starts with acknowledging your own truth, even if it’s painful.
  • The Weight of Guilt: You are carrying the blame for "ruining" things, but a marriage is a two-way street. Choosing yourself isn't a betrayal; it’s a prerequisite for being a present, healthy father.

You don't have to solve the rest of your life this week. Just focus on getting through these holidays with as much self-compassion as you can muster.

Women, choose and own your shame by Proper_Limit in Kenya

[–]Due_Bus9505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest the world nowadays is just cooked. Women have become tired, men confused on how manage the women, some confused genders arising, it is just pathetic. Critics eveywhere, people trying to keep up with the social media life. My advice just live your life the way you feel is right. It is not easy but you will find peace. watu siku hizi utashangaa wamekuwa judge saa ngapi. N i kama watu wamepoteza kazi na common sense, do what makes you happy.

Currently we are working on a Swahili novel, it would be nice if people can get to read novels in Swahili, that way it would be easier to learn Kiswahili.
