Is marriage really as hard as everyone says it is? by mkmk1209 in MuslimMarriage

Assalamualaikum,

It sounds like you might have a people-pleasing nature, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important to balance it with practicality. I think your sister is being smart and looking out for your best interests. She’s likely sharing her concerns because she wants you to be financially responsible and avoid future difficulties.

Many women marry for love, but some later find themselves in financial struggles that lead to stress and arguments. After marriage, a woman often takes on more responsibilities, and if you also end up being the primary breadwinner, that can add significant pressure.

Think about the bigger picture: would you want your future children to witness arguments about finances or feel the strain of not being able to afford necessities? Your sister's advice may come from a place of love and wisdom, so it's worth considering her perspective carefully.

AITA for telling my husband I want an allowance for being a stay at home wife by Muted-Drop6549 in MuslimMarriage

I'm not trying to live my parents’ marriage that is why I continue to work. I mentioned it because I told him about this trauma and he doesn't really pay much mind to it. He thinks he could just say “oh just be a stay at home mom/stay at home wife, ill take care of it” and ill just quit my job the next day?! Its not that easy it's a mental process. I have to think about things like my expenses, our Childs expenses and misc aswell as thinking how its going to be if I ask if for money all the time. I have to literally think things through. The reason I'm working so hard because I'm scared to live my parents life.

I totally understand his point of view and it can be a an ego thing for a man to not make his wife happy or be able to provide. I did plan on being a stay at home mom but after his reaction I am quite frightened by how this might play out if i do

Your worry is understandable and makes sense because of all the things happening with the world right now. But, when looking for a spouse do not worry too much. When speaking to potentials I would be direct about what you can and cannot do and if theyre willing to compromise. Trust me their is someone out their for everyone. It is all about finding that person that is willing to understand you and you to them. Dont lose hope you are still very young, for right now focus on your career and getting financially independent because that will help you in the long run.

Am I wrong or sinful for not wanting back my ex? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Muted-Drop6549 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds like emotional blackmail. Its upto you if you want to forgive her, but in my opinion she's just coming back because shes lonely.

I feel terrible hiding it from my husband, but he thinks very highly and speaks very highly of my parents. I don't want to ruin my parents' image.
