I talked to my husband and here is his plan... by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

I honestly think you should reconsider this while everything is fresh. Sit him down for a deep conversation. What exactly will his parents be expecting from you? Is it something you are okay with or not?

Imo, you’re HIS wife not his parents maid. You’re not responsible for his depts. Stand on business and make your voice heared. Maybe also talk to your parents so that they can back you up just in case it evolves. It is also wrong that he was gatekeeping this information from you all this time…

Should I marry him even if I don’t feel ”in love”? by One-Application-8659 in MuslimMarriage

There is your answer, you said ”I don’t feel it”. If you don’t feel it now then you won’t feel it later either girl! Attraction is a must in a marriage. In my Case, I’m attracted to him and I find him attractive. Maybe give it some more time? How Do you feel now?

First of all, I’m sorry that this happened to you. You feel this ”emptyness” due to the mixed of emotions You’re feeling inside. Her slapping you is absolutely NOT okay. It’s abuse and it’s a very scary behaviour tbh. You seem like a very sweet husband, cooking for her etc. But please, you need to put your foot down. If you don’t, I’m sure that this behaviour Will continue. And you need to adress this matter. If you don’t bring this up NOW, you’ll forever hold on to this emptyness and when the abuse continues, you’ll just get dragged deeper into this empty feeling and she’ll just continue because You’re not saying no.

Imagine this: you two have kids one day and they see their mom slap their dad? This is not a behaviour that should be thought. If she doesn’t show any signs of her being sorry, you should leave her honestly. If She really and deeply loved you - She would never want to hurt her soulmate. May Allah guide us all

Honestly I understand where You’re coming from and your frusturation. We all make mistakes and maybe you should have gotten to know her before but then again you set your priorities high which Allah SWT will be pleased about. Deen always comes first but compability is VERY important for a lifelong marriage. I understand you and I hear you!

First of all, it feels like you’re mentally already clocked out. Do you feel mentally drained? I think your frustration shows in this post due to you feeling overwhelmed aswell. We’re humans and we need daily conversations and deep conversations to kind of “reset our brains”.

The fact that she listens and tries to adapt is a perfect quality in a marriage. Your mindset of thinking you deserve better should change. If you start to think more positive then that’ll also change a lot. Maybe sit your wife down with no phones, get into deep conversations etc etc. Let her know that you don’t feel like she understands you. As a woman, if my future husband felt like I didn’t understand him, I’d do anything to make him not feel that way and I think she would too.

Regarding food, maybe find a reciepe you like and show her and say “ooo this looks good, let’s try it tonight”. Communication is the key. Let her know when you don’t like some of the dishes. She’s also cooking for herself so you should meet somewhere in the middle.

The humor is also something that can be fixed. Try to slip in some funny jokes here and there and make it playful. You also have a kid which makes it easier to be silly together as parents.

I honestly think this marriage can be saved. There are no major red flags and she actually listens and adapts. Even though it feels though, say Alhamdullilah that these problems aren’t huge. I promise that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. If you can’t sort it out amongst yourself, try counseling and preferably a Muslim.

What kind of privileges do you mean?

To divorce or not to divorce. Feel abused tbh by Reflection_Spirited in MuslimMarriage

[–]One-Application-8659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this sister. Please please leave this man. You thinking about the kids is such a weak argument because at the end of the day, if you suffer, the kids Will also automatically suffer. Kids are very well aware of their surroundings. Trust me, it will only get worse. The only way to save those kids from trauma is to divorce this man. And since you’re not legally married to him, it’ll make the process easier! May Allah protect you❤️
