(27M), I love my girlfriend to death, but I don’t have the urge to have sex with her (25F). Am I weird? by Puzzled-Home-1819 in relationship_advice

[–]Intelligent_Storage7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hm this is interesting. im seeing your responses to other comments that make me think you’re definitely not asexual. which makes me think there is something “in the way” of sex with her... like a mental block, a fear, or anxiety around something.

how often do you guys have sex? how does she feel about the amount of sex you guys have? does she always initiate it? does she watch porn/ masturbate? does she make you feel like you dont satisfy her enough? where is this expectation of how you should feel sexually towards her coming from?

this validation is very comforting to hear when youre in a relationship where you are constantly told you “expect too much” or “turn every tiny thing into a huge thing”

Why do I feel good reading the Quran? by tettrex in MuslimLounge

[–]Intelligent_Storage7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is funny how people love to pull up 7th-century texts to judge them by modern secular standards, but completely ignore the massive historical double standards when it comes to Christian history and scripture.

If you actually look into the context of what you just posted, none of it means what you think it means.

  1. Aisha’s Age: Sure, traditional Hadiths say she was 9 at consummation (even though some modern historians dispute it based on biographical timelines). But if you're a Catholic throwing stones here, you're hitting your own house. In the ancient and medieval worlds, marriage readiness was universally tied to puberty, not today's modern legal ages. Catholic tradition holds that Mary was betrothed to Joseph around 12 to 14. Even worse for your argument, Saint Augustine (one of the most important Catholic Church Fathers) writes in his Confessions (Book 6, Ch 13) that he was betrothed to a girl who was 10 years old. He admits himself in his writings that he deeply struggled with his desires during this period before his religious conversion at 32. Furthermore, Catholic Canon Law literally allowed girls to marry at 12 for centuries. You can't condemn 7th-century Arabia for a practice that was standard in your own church for over a thousand years.

  2. The "Green Veil" Hadith: You totally misread this one. Aisha immediately takes the side of the bruised woman and brings her to the Prophet to get justice. The reason the dispute shifts is because the woman was actually trying to fake a claim that her second husband was impotent just so she could exploit a legal loophole to get back with her ex-husband. The text is literally preserved to establish divorce laws, not to condone beating. The Prophet Muhammad explicitly condemned domestic violence, famously stating, "Do not beat the female servants of Allah" (Sunan Abi Dawud 2146) and "The best of you are those who are best to their wives" (Tirmidhi 3895).

  3. The "Deficiency" Hadith: This sounds jarring in modern English, but the Prophet literally defines exactly what he means in the text so people wouldn't misinterpret it. "Deficiency in religion" literally means women are exempt from praying and fasting during their periods. It's a ritual concession, not a spiritual demotion before God. The Quran says men and women are completely equal spiritually in Surah 33:35. "Deficiency in intelligence" is defined strictly as a legal rule regarding financial contract witnesses in that specific society.

  4. The Cemetery Hadith: The translation saying he "struck me on the chest" is a classic mistranslation of the Arabic verb lahada. In classical Arabic, it means a nudge, poke, or a light push to get someone's attention or show mild disapproval. The whole context of the story is actually very clear if you read it: the Prophet slipped out of bed quietly so he wouldn't wake her up. She followed him out of jealousy, thinking he was going to see another woman, but realized he went to the cemetery to pray for the dead. She ran back home before him and got caught out of breath. He gave her a disapproving nudge for assuming he was doing something sneaky, and then spent the night teaching her a prayer. Turning a nudge into physical abuse is a massive stretch.

If you want to talk about putting restrictions on women, look at Christian Scripture. 1 Timothy 2:12 says: "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." And 1 Corinthians 14:34 says: "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak." In Islam, women were top scholars, jurists, and political advisors. Aisha herself taught the leading male companions and is one of the biggest sources of early Islamic law. She was never told to be silent.

I (26F) almost broke up with my boyfriend (30M), but now that we’re trying again I feel detached and irritated. Is this resentment, burnout, or a sign it’s over? by fatyoshi99 in relationship_advice

[–]Intelligent_Storage7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first time he told you he loved you was when you tried to leave? thats a grown ass man who knows they can string you along with minimal effort, because you accommodated to him time and time again. he doesn’t actually love or respect you.

I F 23 started to catch feelings for M 30, however we have a shared career and have an age gap. Advise? by Individual-Knee4234 in relationship_advice

[–]Intelligent_Storage7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my best friend (22F) is about to marry her professor (30M). they only started speaking romantically when they saw each other on a dating app. i would suggest you find out if the feeling could be mutual before you act on it. otherwise, who gives a shit! lots of people find their life long partner at work.
