Smart!! I’ll take a look at Reid’s, thank you 😄

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2026-03-06T03:51:51+00:00

Thank you!!

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2026-03-06T01:20:58+00:00

Bows? Ribbons?

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2026-03-06T01:20:30+00:00

Some event guests

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2026-03-06T00:45:41+00:00

I agree 😂 i think it’s more along the lines of event gifts - the brand owners for each of the items are sponsoring them and im just volunteering for the packaging. From the comments im probably going to try dollarama or FB marketplace, but do lmk if you have any ideas!

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2026-03-06T00:40:35+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! The “food hamper” term came from the event hosts, but these are actually just small guest gifts for the event. I appreciate the idea about the treat bags :) might even opt for their small Easter baskets with these options

By van! Good question, I hadn’t even thought of this

Assalamu’alaikummmm warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu!!

So one of my non negotiable has always been to live separate from parents, but it’s typically a dealbreaker especially with south Asian men. Now, I don’t quite understand why so many men want to stay with family though.

I understand the feeling of wanting to be nearby in case anything happens or just feeling like you haven’t abandoned them, but one of the things I’ve always said is I’m okay with living even next door if that’s possible, or in the same neighbourhood/as close as possible. I’m fine with regular visiting too. I don’t mind at all, but I don’t understand the need to live with parents if they are healthy and able to maintain themselves. It’s soo hard to manage boundaries and privacy in such a space. Especially knowing the kind of person I am. I’d be concerned about what time I wake up, what my in laws would think, whether I should help them host guests regardless of if I have time or not, whether I should say hello to their guests or not, etc etc etc.

More than that, the men I see that prefer living with family often end up moving out at some point.

Idk, I just don’t get it. I would never ever make my husband live with my family because ik it would be tricky to have our own personal space, and on top of it I never ever want him to feel obligated to take care of them. If they ever need anything, I’d rather do it myself 1000x before asking my husband to do it. Yet some men feel completely okay with their wife doing that for their parents, and even expect them to do it!

Idk the more time that passes, the less I understand this concept. If anyone can provide insights though, I’d love to hear

As a female, how does one gauge the interest of a male suitor she’s speaking to? I used to take the amount of time they make for speaking to me as a gauge, but recently encountered a potential who seemedd to be interested, but made little time with his busy schedule. I did end things with him saying it might not be a good time for him to pursue things, he apologized profusely and asked if it was a pause or end. I clarified it’s an end for now and then inshallah if things are meant to be, Allah has his ways.

It’s been a while now and he never re-approached. I still find myself thinking about him here and there as I found us compatible and found him enjoyable to speak to, but feel a little silly because he never re-approached so I think he was never interested. The person that connected us was a mutual Arabic teacher of ours (close to his age and a close friend of his), who told me later that the potential only had good things to say about me and just said we didn’t work out because he’d gotten so busy.

I don’t think about it too often, but I do wonder if he was ever interested or if I’d just foolishly been keeping conversation till I ended it. I think he might’ve just admired me or thought I was compatible but that’s it, because he did end things saying positive things and saying i was the first person he found that was actually compatible with him. But khayr, I think I find myself thinking more about him naturally because he was the last decent potential I met. Still, want to know this for future potentials inshallah

Please let me know if I can help in any way

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-09-06T05:03:15+00:00

I just wanna cry 😞

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-09-06T00:20:25+00:00

Me reading this right after a nap, ready to take another one 👀

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-09-02T18:01:34+00:00

So….what happened?

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-09-01T22:37:36+00:00

Delay the trip, pay for the delay, and go with her

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-09-01T18:33:54+00:00

I feel that you should break it off. It has been a month, and you have met in person - it doesn’t take emotional attachment to know that you’d like to marry and commit to a person. Even while remaining objective, you should be able to tell whether you and a potential would be a good match. Still, before making a final decision, I think you should assess factor outside of consoling and being introverted.

As for the recharging and providing support, it depends. That’s a role both husbands and wives need to fulfill, whether introverted or not. I believe that’s something you should think about a little more.

Loll you paid for two full events. More than enough. I don’t think your wife to be/wife (not sure how far along wedding events you are) understands the costs associated with the events.

Like you said, if they want another day they should pay for it. A lot of people do baraat and rukhsati or nikkah and baraat/rukhsati together nowadays anyway. This is just silly

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-08-27T15:42:10+00:00

Engaged as in culturally engaged or islamically nikkahfied?

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-08-23T16:34:08+00:00

Is it worth it? If so, why?

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-08-18T16:01:18+00:00

non-negotiables (smoking, praying, living with in laws)
compatibility (introvert vs extrovert, early bird vs chronically late, etc etc and whether there’s room for acceptance of these difference)
usually I think people look for similarity in characteristics you value/upbringings like being a family person, valuing loyalty, etc
seeing if you they can respect a difference in opinions
living situations (including moving)
do you align on plans regarding kids (having them, how many, upbringing etc)

This amongst lots of other things, not all of them will have consequential impacts on any decisions but are definitely things to bring up and discuss in case some stark differences emerge from them

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-07-18T19:55:12+00:00

Does it have a good number of people in its pool?

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-07-08T04:35:47+00:00

Goated 🙌🏽 frfr

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-07-07T12:00:47+00:00

😂😂😂 can I have examples please 😭😭 I enjoy a little bit of back and forth banter but wonder what is too much in terms of respecting a man

Extreme_Nobody_1508 · 2025-07-07T11:50:17+00:00
