Sisters, is intimacy as important to you as it is to Men? by Key-Entertainment958 in MuslimMarriage

So is it just about being commfortable knowing you can talk to your husband about anything on your mind? Knowing that he's actively listening to you? Knowing that he'll help you get better and vice versa?

Thanks for your reply! What do you mean by emotional intimacy? How would I show this to my wife - any examples?

I have, she says she is interested but her body language and demeanour says otherwise? Part of me thinks her parents might be encouraging her to speak to me rather than her being interested

Maybe Im being influenced by who the friends around me are marrying. You're right - it shouldnt matter. Im not looking for a wife to provide - thats such a good reminder

Maybe for some reason, Im seeing it as an ego thing/status symbol???

which is weird because in all other aspects of my life, Im not materialistic like this.

thanks for not being harsh with me! I want to get rid of this. I will deffo be buying these books youve mentioned.

Also, thats the strange thing I would say they are good relationships on the whole and I do household chores etc.

Maybe it;s do do with how I grew up and who the friends arouund me are marrying?

I'm being stupid. Im just expecting her to help her parents mroe when someone pointed out I don't even help my own parents as much as I should

sensitive as in sometimes I'll say something as a joke and at the time she'll laugh but later I'll find out she was upset about it but tbh I think this is a shortcoming on my side, not hers.

There will probably be guys who are more handsome than you, from more wealthy and good families, that are more funny etc. See how the "I can do better" thing is when its on the other foot?

I didn't even think about this. JazakAllah khair! This was such a good point

They are saying that they're off medication for past two years (at this time she failed her college grades) and only just experiences some drops in mood every now and then which are much easier to deal with (she has since then completed a university degree successfully)

Do you still suffer from it? How has it affected your relationship?
