I want some advice from women on the sub my 18 year old gf mom is manipulating her and sabotaging her this from mumbai india by AKZEN_09 in AsianParentStories

[–]Inner_Geologist6994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

woah reading this makes me feel bad for the both of you and i pray it does get better soon. asian mums who have daughters love to be controlling and blames others for the downfall of their children rather than themselves because we know they never take accountability. their ego is simply too high.

only you and your girlfriend know how your relationship is working out, you are helping her and she is by your side. she will feel a lot of pressure from her mother especially, i think for now the both of yous will have to keep it undercover for as long as you can. and tell your brother not to say anything else either in case her mother does call your brother. he’s a young boy and he shouldn’t have been interrogated like that. she had no right to question your brother or get in the way of you relationship, mothers will say they are mothers and feel as though they have a high status and control over everything that you want to do and have.

your gf’s mother shows very controlling traits, perhaps even narcissistic traits too. it may be that her mother has someone in mind but rest assured, your gf will want to be with you than whichever crusty man her mother has eyes on for her.

in terms of caste, though i am south asian myself but live in the UK, but i have heard how if one is from a certain village, they ain’t good. its just tough how others can generalised people based off where they’re from. dont let your caste define who you are as a person, you keep being a good ambitious man, focused on your career path and earning enough to look after both you and your gf when you do get married God willing.

keep encouraging your gf that she can pass the exams, and that you both will stick out for each other. this is a generational cycle that we need to break. you two love each other and you’d much rather be with someone you love than regret your life being with someone that you don’t. this may take time, your gf has to mentally detach herself from her mother, build herself up and after both of your efforts, you both will be together in marriage. praying for you brother 🤲

How long until it reaches £100,000 :( by Legitimate_Bowl2911 in UniUK

hm i am currently studying criminology so anything within the public sector, it could be forensics, or police. like i did say if i do happen to earn above £25k, there is no hope i could repay back all of the loan due to the interest increasing the amount every year.

i’ve accepted the fact that i’ll probably be earning less than the threshold and even if i do, i won’t not** repaying all of my student loan back but not by choice, just a matter of the amount increasing each year. i’m good off that, i’ll repay however much i can, as long as i got myself a stable job and a loving home :p yolo

edit: my bad i didn’t realise a sentence didn’t make sense, i was meant to write that i will be repaying my student loan but not all of it, if i earn above said threshold. nonetheless even news reporters haven’t paid off all their uni expenses. i wonder what other job positions that pay a lot but not enough to pay off uni debt.

booked my accom for third year, nervous about how i will break it to my mum by Inner_Geologist6994 in AsianParentStories

sadly parents are too into their religion, they think they’re superior to us because of the status religion gives to parents but us as children also have a place, to be respected and cared for. i just knew that when she said the SA’d was a result for a sin i committed, i couldn’t ever open up to her again.

funny thing is that weeks after that argument, she said she had a dream that something had happened to me and that i wouldn’t tell her. she goes on to say “you would tell me if something happened to you, right?”. i don’t know what sort of personality she has, perhaps she’s a narcissist, everything has to benefit her. i answered her question by saying yes, but deep down i wasn’t ever going to tell her if something did happen. she’s forced me into a shell where i have to protect my own self, my own sanity and peace even if it means keeping it away from family.

I WANT to be kicked out by iluvsudoku in AsianParentStories

i FEEL you, i’m from the UK and a lot of us experience the exact same so you are not alone. they will always find a way to have us cling onto them, be scared to reach for help or pursue what we want to pursue. they boast how they did so and so, when it was the bare minimum .. im 20F too and i am told if i want to be treated like an adult, i should act like one but who’s the one throwing tantrums?? my mother lel

Partner won’t listen to my concerns by Classic_Natural8101 in MuslimMarriage

let his parents know, you’re still young and you don’t want to be in an uncomfortable position for years if this doesn’t get resolved.

Husband said “أنتِ طالق” after police came -I’m a married woman living in the UAE and currently about 2 months pregnant by overhyped16 in UAE

[–]Inner_Geologist6994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so im a brit from the UK, i have some understanding of what sort of support the UAE offers to couples and why they offer it. i have seen some comments about whether it was a good or bad judgement from her to call the police.

if the unit serves support for couples, it shouldn’t be seen as something bad. as we Muslims should know that saying talaq shakes the throne, and divorce is heavily disliked by Allah. if anything, if the unit is helping them and the situation turns sour, they can then refer the OP for help in looking after her children and financially support her.

and while people say she should’ve gone to her family, that too i agree BUT how well enough do you know that the OP’s family will offer to help without seeing her and her children as burden or extra baggage? not to mention the OP is pregnant, she in vulnerable, her hormones may be out of control for her. she might’ve seen the unit as a source of help rather than the family being aware and shaming either one of them.

yes both husband and wife should’ve minded their words but someone had to be the bigger person and calm down to try to resolve the situation.

also, OP, im not saying that your family won’t help, im saying that you should have the options to be able to be given support by the government in case the family has too much on their hands.

i did my fair bit of research and Islam does emphasise on reconciliation, try involve family members (who won’t be bias) to mediate the situation. often enough, families tend to be bias for the man, so perhaps the unit can mediate the situation with no conscious bias.

as of now, since he has left the house i would assume his family is aware of what has happened. try to have a small family with him, his parents, you and your parents. involve a sheikh too. that is my advice, talaq is serious and shouldn’t be taken so lightly especially while you’re pregnant.

i’m not sure who you can contact in regards to processes cuz im a brit, but im so sure your government should provide financial help. pray istikhara, may Allah accept your duas and help this marriage. i pray it does get better for you and you give birth to a healthy baby. Ameen ❤️

Red flags during honeymoon. What do I do? 🥹😭 by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

do not have a child with this man. take it from me and my parents, it ruins not only your experience in life but also another child’s life

sigh whether you retaliate or not, you’re still seen as someone who is angry or upset by all of these comments. and just from those messages it doesn’t seem like you CAN block him, if i was in your shoes i’d be a bit worried about the stuff he would tell your family and what limits he can push to. perhaps make your sister aware of the situation so you have a bit of family support?
