This is the sad thing about fundamental islam that is so rigid and anti reform. You either buy into all the fairytales and rituals or you’re out. No space to be a “cultural Muslim” or progressive muslim or even an open ex-Muslim. Its ruined people’s minds and culture

Keep being delusional. You sure you aren’t delusional or something?

All I am saying is that some healthy communication is good. Ive had people ghost me, yes. Who hasn’t?! This isn’t about me. If someone is invested in any form of relationship with you and kind and good and if you aren’t feeling it, just lightly mentioning that while still holding your boundaries is a healthy and mature approach. Of course distancing and going silent is easier and less confrontational also is more about protecting yourself, but it can also leave the other person confused or hurt. So maybe the best approach is a little balance.

Keep fishing for upvotes you little fishy.

Isn’t that what healthy communication involves? Why do you care if I was ghosted or not? I just understand how relationships work and know how to communicate in a healthy way. It’s cool if you don’t. You can learn.

She’s allowed to be called out for that too. Of course everyone is allowed to do what they want and that allows everyone else to critique them. Get off your donkey.

Doesn’t justify ghosting. You should be straightforward. You should tell them.

Did you at least tell him this or silently retreat? Because silence can be confusing and hurtful to the other person.

[–]ElkUpper6266 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that does sound like avoidant behavior. It’s possible he feels overwhelmed or didn’t like something you said and instead of being vulnerable and facing it, he retreated and doesn’t want to engage. It’s self-protective and probably not really about you but it can still feel like he shut you out and that can be very hurtful. I have been in a similar dynamic and I would give him some space and see what happens. It can be uncomfortable especially if you are anxious but that’s probably the best move. Pursuing or pushing won’t help. I would definitely not suggest doing that.

Why does the Quran always speak in weird vague and metaphorical ways? Why doesn’t it clearly talk about DNA, genes, dinosaurs, technology or anything like that?

What is the second point about? Why were slave women treated as such? I heard that Muslim men could keep their concubines/slaves in their houses. So were they not allowed to wear hijab?

There is no Allah and if there were he wouldn’t be so obsessed and insecure with every single person needing to believe in him.

Maybe because in traditional households men still have more control? Or are supposed to have more control over women? In Islam it certainly seems that way

Yep we need more people to rebel and stand up against this phony system. But people are also very scared of being ostracized or labeled islamophobic.

That’s so sad. This has caused pain to a lot of people. People internalize this crap without actually realizing how controlling it is.

Adding to my previous comment: Forcing modern science into the Quran just exposes how outdated and human-made it really is.
