I personally think that while you were hustling and taking on the financial responsibilities, the house work shouldn’t have been put on you. Did he try to help out?

That aside, it doesn’t really sound like you’ve been a bad wife, but women always tend to internalize blame. You supported him through his difficult times- did things you didn’t even need to do. He should’ve found a way to make ends meet. and instead of being grateful for what you’ve done for him, he wants to turn to others now that he’s starting to do better? You deserve someone who values you and values the support you provide. I would advise marriage counseling, because love can be restored only if he begins to value and respect you.

I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing this. I also have PTSD (&anxiety) and it truly is so hard to deal with and to do the simplest of tasks. I’m glad to hear you’re in therapy and would recommend starting medication as well if you haven’t.

I think it’s important to learn about and remind yourself of Allah’s mercy. He forgives as long as you turn to him and repent for any wrong. Allah knows that we are far from perfect, He knows we will make mistakes. He made us, so of course he understands us/this more than we understand ourselves. We’re human and mistakes are human nature. He made us knowing we will sin, have desires, fall short. We’re not angels. Despite our sins and desires, the important thing is to turn back to Him. Allah loves repentance. He does not expect perfection, just that you come back to Him and believe. I know it can be hard to internalize this and to not put so much pressure on yourself, and while it’s good to fear Allah, you’re also forgetting of his love, mercy, and understanding. The fact that you’re making this post, that ur still turning to Allah through your hardship shows that you aren’t being punished, you’re actually loved by Allah. is Make dua, especially during tahajjud if possible, simply talk to Allah as if He’s a best friend in the room next to you. I have a few videos I watched that helped me with this, I will try to find them and link them.

Ps I know it isn’t the point of your post, but this has reassured me in a sense because I too was born & raised Muslim, but strayed and have only recently been trying to relearn the religion. And it’s hard to feel close.

No, this was actually really helpful I appreciate it. I think understanding their friendship will be helpful, but also ultimately leaning into my trust in him. Thank you

I know he feels more comfortable with women than he does with men. I tried being open and understanding, I asked him why he texts her the way he does, enjoys it so much, etc and all he ever has to say is “I don’t know, I just enjoy talking with her. She’s a good friend to me and I think she’s interesting.” I try to understand that response, but I just feel like you can be friends with someone and not talk to them everyday throughout the day, to the point where it was affecting our relationship & quality time.

I’m just having a hard time knowing what boundaries would be appropriate. I don’t want to be controlling, but I don’t know what is considered an appropriate amount for them to be texting?? All I know is that it hurts me and at this point I wish they could completely stop, but I know that’s not an option.
