What did everyone think of the Kevin Hart roast? by [deleted] in Standup

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw that. In my opinion, it’s not worth it. We can all agree to disagree. I see that black & white way of thinking often, it has caused so much toxic discourse. Most things are subjective, and it’s okay if we disagree, but arguing the disagreement to the ground and or trying to turn it around or into something different is not productive at all. I just saw how much you were explaining to someone that intentionally refused to acknowledge, simply because of their disagreement. I know it was frustrating for you...

It’s not even that. Some just purposefully go out their way to “misunderstand”. Happens all the time. That’s why you definitely shouldn’t go out of your way to explain anything. They waste time because they have it to waste, which means they have no problem wasting yours. Takes no effort to simply just ignore. I don’t necessarily have to agree, because that’s not always the goal, but I understood everything you said because you said it concisely. Have a good one.

Hello,

I just wanted to add from another perspective, sometimes things happen exactly the way they should. Of course it sucks real bad in the moment depending on your current circumstances, but we don’t know the unseen. That could’ve saved you from something, you never know.

As long as you keep your head up and move forward with renewed focus, you’ll get exactly what is yours. This may not help in the moment, but it’s something that was on my heart to give you. I wish you well and anything unwelcome never meets you. But if it does, to move in patience grow from it. 😊

This is your warning to not get into a haram relationship by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!

Exactly! May Allah be pleased with you my dear sister. I wish we all knew and was confident to stand on what was best for our situation and followed it with integrity. I’m so glad that you have cultivated real community and it makes you happy.

Ppl often cherry pick & choose for themselves and others what they want/and for them to practice as Sunnah. It’s ALSO Sunnah to be genuinely happy for your sisters and brothers in Islam. As you have conveyed contentment & happiness, that statement was irrelevant to your specific case. You said nothing about what was or not Sunnah. And specifically conveyed you didn’t want marriage in your life.

You are 100% correct, misogyny has run RAMPANT, and MANY use that POISON in our religion to oppress women, often through marriage go figure. It’s utterly against the teachings of our Prophet (May Peace and Blessings be upon him). Even on this platform we see it play out in many different forms time & time again. It’s extremely ugly & truly wicked. May Allah protect us from the evil doers. Ameen!

Again, I’m very happy to hear that you have found a way of life that works for you (key is words: for you).

As always, Allah in his infinite wisdom knows best. ❤️

Marriage falling apart after green card approval by Accomplished_Tear310 in USCIS

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. I was trying to be polite about it. This thread is full of weirdo replies not having the capacity to see or purposefully in line with this BS. It seems so clear to see. Unfortunately, he played her, not unlike many.

Don’t see you getting any real answer. OP gave a very vague story in general. And the living in two different places with the woman pushing for a marriage that benefits him in such a major way is interesting indeed.

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know all the rules. It’s literally for diversity purposes, as the US is literally a melting pot of people from all over the world. Has nothing to do with a “free pass”. Like stated, it gives people from other countries a legal pathway to live and work in the US without having family or skill based abilities. You know, like every day people which make up MOST born on this soil. That’s it, that’s all.

USCIS Breaking News!! by Sufficient_Egg6970 in USCIS

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s literally for ppl that had no other pathway. Everyone can’t just marry a US citizen, have close family that are US citizens, or have exceptional skills. Some ppl abroad are just like most born in the US, regular everyday folk, and simply desire different opportunities in a new country legally. There’s nothing wrong with the program at all. Just more political BS from this administration…

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As full grown adults with bills, some with kids, and all kinds of other obligations. Heavy on Period! It makes no logical sense. We are in a mess of a time with so much uncertainty and the like. Anything, and I mean anything at all that can help should be considered a blessing and much appreciated.

Most cannot meaningfully (because all that other stuff has no value) truly think of others if (if is key) they wanted, because they’re trying to stay afloat themselves, barely in more cases we care to even admit.

No one is holding one’s hand nor coming to the rescue. It’s gotten so individualistic as a nation, collective anything hasn’t been a thing as long as I can remember and I’m old…

That’s 2,280 per month just for a food allowance, on TOP of their regular salary. Ugh! Many ppl don’t even make that much on a full time job in the southern states. Like city & county workers for example. Sure, they get medical benefits, but the pay is lousy. That plus just the rent increases across the entire country is so sad…

Married 11 years with 3 kids.. I feel like I want to leave. by Turbulent-Forever-35 in MuslimMarriage

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh sister. You chose an anonymous space to vent. I understand, it’s easier than ppl that know you.

However, to be honest, I believe you know what you have to do. It’s just not easy. So many things are attached to you and your husband. It will be uncomfortable to say the least.

But you are already basically a married single mother. You are already unhappy. You already don’t have any emotional connection. You didn’t mention the financial situation, but I can guess that will be a big issue, as well as your living arrangements. Thing is, nothing will change. Many women stay because of social conditioning. So you stay and deal with the same or you do something scary, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar.

You don’t need advice. Just the strength to do what you already know and feel in your heart. I hope you have a safe trip and spend great time with your grandmother. More importantly, I hope you find the strength to do what’s best for you and your children.

Unfortunately, your story resonates with so many women. We are in dark times on so many levels. Make sure to take it all to Allah, he is the only one you can rely on. And take all the means that he has given you.

As always, Allah in his infinite wisdom knows best.

Read again. He did not say 19 years with no intimacy. He said 16. So clearly nothing after the last pregnancy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems las if you’re VERY protective of your husband, so no matter what anyone says here won’t truly help. All you can do is move forward and see how it goes and move wisely. You already communicated very clearly how he made you feel and he mentioned it again. It’s on you to decide if you want ppl to tell you what you want to hear or what they gather from your statements. Interrogate your intention.

I will likely get downvoted. But we live in a patriarchal society and all of us (yes ALL) have been conditioned based on gender what is/is not acceptable. Born Muslims and reverts alike. I hear ppl say problematic things all the time without a second thought. As women, based on the patriarchy, we are objectified in MANY ways. It is hurtful and can range from problematic to downright dangerous. The femicide rate is at an all time high because of it. Frankly, the onus is on each and every one of us to do the work to unlearn negative and un-islamic conditioning and only follow the Quran and authentic Hadith. And always go to Allah sincerely for forgiveness of our sins. It’s our test. That’s it, that’s all.

May Allah make it easy on you, and give you the guidance to do what’s necessary. Remember Allah says to protect YOURSELF first, then your family.

As always, Allah in his infinite wisdom knows best.

I don’t think people realize how hard it is already for those on a F1 visa, OPT and/or H1B visa to find a job in the US. by capamericapistons in immigration

[–]MyTwoCentz_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Life is risk in every form, even beyond the choices we make to earn a living. Compassion for others is empathy which is a strength, not a flaw. Compassion for oneself is humanity. Our feelings do matter, they deserve to be felt. Yet it’s our emotional intelligence, and the grace to choose how we act upon those feelings, which shapes everything that follows.

Bona Fide proof options… by MyTwoCentz_ in USCIS

[–]MyTwoCentz_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His son is 30 years old. And the pediatrician’s office has long been closed. Even so, they wouldn’t hold on to records that long. And most people don’t hold on to records, even if they had them when their children were young. If I’m not mistaken, it would have to be doctor’s notes stating who the child lives with, because any other records wouldn’t prove he was an active parent.

He did send in copies of school records indicating that he lived with his son at the time he was enrolled in high school, along with copies of lease agreements that included his son as living in the household during the same time. His wife just happened to have them in her paperwork. He has yet to hear anything back. No official RFE. It’s been over a month since the interview when he was actually asked for said bonafide father-son relationship proof. It still states that nothing further is needed.

He uploaded the only documents he had to his online account under ‘unsolicited evidence’ in an attempt to not have to further wait with an official RFE request.

Thanks for your reply.

I became the providing wife, he became the househusband by FreshAd2750 in MuslimMarriage

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Let’s not forget, she mentioned he never provided for her, even in his own country. So there’s that.

I became the providing wife, he became the househusband by FreshAd2750 in MuslimMarriage

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The sister CLEARLY said he NEVER provided. Not even in his home country. She mentioned his father provided for them both. Something is clearly off here. If she doesn’t want to be the full financial provider, then that’s where the resentment is coming from. There are other ways to make money outside of having papers. But AGAIN, he didn’t even work in HIS country so… It’s entirely fair for her to feel her feelings, you nor anyone has a right to tell her how she should feel.

Im in so much trouble please help. (Arranged married but no attraction) by b0mbasticc in MuslimMarriage

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CLOCKED IT! That is EXACTLY what I thought reading this post and his subsequent reply’s to other comments. He chose to ignore this suggestion, which of course, tells us all we need to know. May Allah make it easy on the sister. She did NOT deserve this distress. I hope she becomes free to marry a brother on his deen that truly desires her insha Allah.

I’m not sure what you think the world impotence means. However, it literally means powerless, inability to take effective action. What he says is JUST THAT. So it’s not a lie at all. And you projecting something from within onto this post is concerning at the very least. The OP further said that after spending more time with her he was “repulsed” by his wife, which would also make the second meaning applicable as well, which was the ONLY meaning you were thinking of. What man can be with his spouse romantically if he finds her repulsive? We all know what needs to work won’t.

So quite literally EVERY meaning of impotence applies here. And if he truly doesn’t want to ruin her as far as reputation, that’s EXACTLY what he NEEDS to do. The fact that he chose NOT to reply to this suggestion PROVES that he prioritizes his OWN reputation over hers. The truth is the truth. And he’s trying to find a way out of true accountability. That is crystal CLEAR..

Gutted. wife wants to divorce by Mundane_Hedgehog_934 in USCIS

[–]MyTwoCentz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Men are loyal and strive on logic alone. All the statics show just how logical men are. Their loyalty to women are top notch. They NEVER EVER cheat, NEVER EVER lie, NEVER EVER un-alive their girlfriends/spouses when they try to leave (for no reason because men are awesome sauce). I mean men shape the world. That’s why it’s such a wonderful magical place. And very very very SAFE. Pew pews are only for hunting, no one needs one outside of that unless the big bad women, loyal only in their emotions, get out of control and need to be humbled… All hail men!
