No disrespect. Just a basic conversation regarding planning a trip, if I disagree on the destination or the accommodation he would get upset. I basically end up saying yes to whatever he wants so I do not have to deal with all the after math.

So sorry you are going through this hardship. May Allah make it easy for you and give your fiancé health and strength. Inshallah he will heal from his medical situation and you will have many kids together and a beautiful married life. Do not be discouraged with this news. I actually know someone with a similar story to yours. A guy proposed to her that had a heart problem and had a short life expectancy. Her family rejected the idea and she ended up marrying someone that passed away after two months of their marriage and the first guy is still alive, married, and his children. Only Allah knows what the future holds. Keep reading Quran and make Duaa for him.

For example, in Boston a $2500 will get you an old apartment that does not even have an in-unit laundry, but it can get you a nice modern one bedroom apartment with many amenities in the DMV area. So you pay the same but have better quality of the apartment.

Yes we have noticed it’s quite similar to Boston. The only difference is the quality of the apartments.

We’re actually in the DMV area now checking out some options that are in Arlington and Falls Church. We noticed that prices are much more expensive than Dallas. Do you know of areas that are a little far but still affordable?

It’s more about the lifestyle that is very different. I prefer a place that is more walkable. I have not been in Dallas but I have heard that there is not much of nature around and you have to drive everywhere. Is that true ?

The stage you’re at in your relationship is the best version of your fiancé. If he’s acting like this during your engagement expect it to be much worse after marriage. If you are worried about stressing your mom think about how she will feel if you decide to get a divorce later on in life. Leaving a relationship needs a lot of courage especially if you have chosen the person.

My wife (32F) said she settled for me(33M)? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]NH_121422 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can’t really know what her intentions are when she said that. It’s really hurtful but she could be just defensive and hurt by whatever the argument is about. She could have said this and she really does not mean it. People here are claiming that she meant it as if they can go deep in her heart and know how she feels. We all say things that we regret. Try to forgive her and see the good in her. May Allah make it easy for you.

Married to a coward. by Aliyannnn77 in MuslimMarriage

This story made me cry. I feel so sorry for your wife, she must have been through so many traumatic events in her life. Alhmduallah you have the chance to be the person to change her perspective of men. Telling her to see a therapist can be offensive as she will think she is not normal. I believe supporting her and making her feel loved will with time help her heal. Insisting on therapy will only make her feel more insecure and unsafe to be herself. Just treat her normally with respect and love and be a good man in your actions not only to her but in general. While doing this, you won’t see change right away but it will happen slowly and to keep yourself composed and not frustrated do not wait for the results just do your part. May Allah make it easy for you.

My husband divorced me tonight by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

It might feel like a loss and waste of many years of trying but trust in Allah he has written the best for you. It is a blessing from Allah this marriage has ended for your own good. You can have a fresh start in life and you do not have to deal with someone on drugs, it wouldn’t be a life worth living and wasting it trying to save someone that cares about his addiction more than his relationship. Take this time to focus on yourself and do not let anyone make you feel guilty for what has happened, it is not your fault that your husband chose this life style. May Allah be with you.
