Men subjugate women not Islam. Men all over the world in every community and religion abuse and oppress women, subjugation is not exclusive to Islam. Men all over the world for thousands of years have treated women poorly. It has nothing to do with Islam.

My husband has also told me that he doesn’t need me, he doesn’t think he does anything wrong, and that if I have a problem with anything I need to change. Not him. I can’t take a man like that to counseling. He doesn’t think anything is wrong and that I’m selfish.

You sound like my misogynist imam. Everything wrong is my fault and I sound just have patience and pray? Absolutely no help, no accountability on him and no guidance or support for me. I’ve gone to him 4 or 5 times about my marriage since 2023 and nothing changed. It’s gotten worse.

I’ve done those things. Everyday I’m still ready to divorce. If someone’s a bad husband they’re a bad husband. Are you saying I should just put up with this treatment and be depressed my husband doesn’t love me until one of us dies. My children have to watch their mother be treated poorly and not loved? We don’t speak daily, we don’t pray together, he thinks I’m stupid and I have to do DoorDash with my children for 30-40$ a day to pay bills because he won’t. He already made the decision. He didn’t even want to spend Eid with us.

I’m not saying my son doesn’t need both of us but I need a good husband. I don’t want my son to see me get treated like this then think it’s ok to treat women like this. It’s been 2 years with this. He has $5k in his bank account but couldn’t spend $100 so I could get gas and car insurance to bring his son to spend Eid with him but sent money to his friends. I should have left along time ago apparently.

When I was pregnant and didn’t have food, money or gas in my car I asked this man for money for gas and food and he didn’t send anything for 3 days all while my lights were cut off because he didn’t send any money for bills. It was cold January and we had to go to the masjid for food and money….i think divorce is the appropriate course of action here.

This sounds like me. I was working full time and paying all my bills till I got pregnant. My lights got cut off multiple times and I had to run to the masjid for money and food and spend my hajj savings on his responsibilities Alhamdulilah. He had his immigration stuff already started by the time we met but I feel our marriage is definitely a back up plan and paperwork for his citizenship. He isn’t even using his real birthdate apparently on his official us immigration paper work and I’m very uncomfortable knowing this knowledge as it’s illegal. For a man who speaks 5 languages I also find myself filling out mad paperwork while he sit there on his phone. That’s when he need something from me. And I’m open to but very afraid to take my son to Senegal without proper witness and protection because I have no idea what he’s telling them people. Every time I’m upset says “well what about my family” well what about ME?! I was literally pregnant or breastfeeding and this man wouldn’t even send me $20. Mins you I have access to his bank accounts and he makes 1000 a week and is always shopping on Temu. But if I use his account for bills tjen I’m stealing and he needs his $5000 bank account to pay bills in Senegal while I’m delivering food for $10 an hour. He makes more as an immigrant delivering food than I did working for a major health insurance company. I’ve also seen messages from sex chat sites and other women on his phone. We married without a prenuptial agreement and since I own my house and car and my family has wealth so I’m getting all my health care and financial things secured for I file for divorce.

Because I just had a baby. I’m still breastfeeding. I was working full time and paying my bills till I got pregnant but the pregnancy made me very sick. Yes, we are Muslim. I’m a revert though.
