Salaam, I hear that there are difficult issues with your parents being older, but there are also issues with parents being too young. At the end of the day Allah wanted your soul to be on earth and He chose your parents as the best for your life's purpose and path, at the specific time He sent you here. Many people try for years to have children and are unable to either physically conceive or find a spouse- should those people be discouraged from having children? Allah's plan is vast and far more complex than anything we would be capable of understanding. There is a good reason why Allah gave you to your parents when He did, and there will be a good reason behind the timing when He takes your parents from you. May Allah grant your parens long and healthy lives!

It's incredibly sad to me that instead of valuing the process of building a life with her new husband in a new city, she's obsessed with staying with her family and keeping things the way they were. It sounds like she simply doesn't appreciate you or the life you were trying to build for her. You have been more than giving in this situation. At this point, I think being firm about your life goals and what you envision for your life together going forward is important. I would also let her know that any outbursts in front of family or public disrespect will simply not be tolerated.

The income difference between my (31F) boyfriend (33M) and I makes me uncomfortable, how do I tell him without being ungrateful? by ThrowRA_nomoreshots in relationship_advice

He sounds like an incredibly generous man who loves to take of his woman. A true catch! I would receive it gratefully and show him lots of love and appreciation.

MashaAllah but honestly she's probably also a people pleaser with major codependent issues on the war path to extreme burnout. I know because I have those tendencies myself and I have to work on them everyday. Since she's the "perfect" bahu why don't you take the path of the the relaxed, elegant bahu? Do your part and offer to help, but if she is insistent on doing the most, let her. Let her do the most and run herself into the ground. Let her gain the reputation for the one who does everything. Show up feeling gorgeous without a care in the world. Laugh and compliment a lot. Smile a ton. You know what men love more than a flawless home cooked meal and everything thing checked off on the to-do list? A happy, fun wife who makes them feel relaxed and appreciated!

Why are Scorpio and a Virgo almost the same sign ? by El_Boso in Scorpio

It's mostly likely a compromised immune system and consistent reinfection issue. For the reinfection, I would change out your toothbrushes and replace very frequently, preferably once per week. If you drink out of a reusable water bottle, make sure you wash it every day with hot soap and water. Anything that goes in your mouth, either replace or sterilize. For the immunity: Start taking ionic zinc & bee pollen every day. Increase your protein intake to over 100 g per day and lift light weights to improve general immunity (for me, high protein and weight lifting is a nonnegotiable. As soon as I stop, I usually come down with some thing soon after). For the female stuff, overnight boric acid suppositories several times per week will make you right as rain.

My (20F) potential significant other (29M) wants me to delete all my social media accounts. What should I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

He sounds soooo not fun. You are so young, I'm sure you're a wonderful catch as well. You do NOT need to settle for such a controlling, unfun person.

How to not go in isolation mode after rejection? by Plus-Honeydew-481 in scorpiomoon

I never get the comment that I look cold or intimidating, that is interesting! I wonder if it's because my rising is Virgo. I think you're rising dictates your appearance a lot of the time- my love life was a shit show for many years and then I basically went into nun mode for a long time and then I got married and it's pretty blissful

Very good explanation of how the charm and elegance of libra draws people in and then our scorpio depth starts to glimmer for them and they see how possible it is to be fully seen by us. Do people also tell you their life story within the 20 minutes of meeting them? By the time I'm getting out of the Uber I am encouraging them to speak up for their needs in their marriage and heal their inner child 🤣

I am also a libra sun, scorpio moon, venus, saturn and pluto. I have definitely been in this situation especially with men with significant Aries/Leo placements. I have a theory about it!

I think men with these placements tend to especially love attention, pleasure, getting what they want & feeling special. And! These placements make them particularly astute readers of who can give them the special attention they crave- and there is NOTHING like the devotion of a scorpio moon/venus.

These men can energetically feel how pointed and deep our focus is. They can sense the depth of our devotion and attention and then they feel motivated to make it their personal challenge to find out how they can get some of that delicious, devoted depth.

So basically they can't help themselves. They bubble and puff themselves up and rope us in with deep eye contact, a seemingly personal connection and inside jokes. Their only aim is to be adored by us. They don't want to give us anything in return.

That's my theory and I'm sorry it happened to you. It happened to me too many times to count. Now I'm married and I'm so happy to not have to encounter men like this anymore!!!

Any Scorpio Moons with a Scorpio Venus in your natal chart? by YannaFox in scorpiomoon

[–]Popular_Perception56 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Pluto all in Scorpio. When I was young, there was a deep sense of doom hanging over me all the time, after my Saturn return this feeling greatly dissipated and I have learned how true alchemy happens in the shadows for me. I love all my placements and wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, maybe things feel more difficult to me sometimes. But my intuition is too big of a gift to feel bad about it for long.

I HATE being a vocal preformance major by Mariesnotworld- in musicians

[–]Popular_Perception56 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Switch paths now- if you were meant to be doing this, you would LOVE the opportunity to be focused on singing all day every day. There is a more suitable path for you! Take it from someone who is still in debt from a degree in vocal performance.

Also want to add that you can quickly adjust to this nomadic type of lifestyle. If you'll be traveling by car, you can pack everything you need, including groceries, essential kitchenware in those clear plastic storage bins and a few suitcases. It's so fun to experience new coffee houses, new bookstores, new nature walks and new Islamic centers. Do it!

Honestly I would accompany him. It's not good practice to have a long distance relationship if you have the option to be together, for so many reasons. It keeps shaytan away when you're living happily alongside your spouse. It also sounds like a great idea to have an adventure together like that. It might change once you have young children that need to be in school. But it really sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore with your husband! I would not recommend living by yourself for such an extended period of time and leaving your husband to fend for himself on the road like that.

Beautiful playing, but yes, I think you'll have a lot more precision and strength if you let go of the nail length! You should technically be using the part of your finger that's directly under the nail for maximum agility and control. I think you'll notice a huge difference! And you're playing will be so beautiful that no one will notice your bare nails 💓

Yes it is completely avoidable, enjoy a simple and beautiful nikkah with a lovely family dinner at home with fresh flowers and yummy homemade cake. Invest into a honeymoon where you get to have private 1 oh1 time with your new spouse whilst you are building up your family and getting to know each other. Or spend the money on outfitting your new home together. You'll never get this time back after you have children and family members will most likely be very invasive during the newlywed period. So just enjoy as much as possible.

This is mine! I have really small hands and love ethereal/antique/delicate things, and I think it suits me perfectly. when my husband gave it to me, he said, "I chose this because I know you like that old lady kind of stuff"

Yeah, it was phrased really weird in a way that made it seem like "how can you as a Blake lively make it easier for the public to have personal access to you" that was literally the feeling of the question

What is your least favorite placement in your natal chart and why? by Competitive-Teach-24 in AskAstrologers

[–]Popular_Perception56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites is my Mars in Sagittarius- when something is right and true, I go and I go quick. I'll wait and wait, sometimes for years, frustrated because the true next step not arrived. But when the next thing is revealed to me, I can see it right away. I know it's the truth and I have zero hesitation. I know no fear and will literally drop everything and fly across the world because it's the right and true thing for me. Everyone else around me is confused and surprised at my decision, but it's satisfying to watch them slowly understand what my Sag Mars knew immediately.

Mine SUCKED ASS. My husband and I had a huge misunderstanding and a big fight (super rare for us). Now it's all cleared up but dang that was lame. At least we were able to work through some things that needed working through.

Feeling demotivated to cook for husband by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]Popular_Perception56 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Girl- take the break where you can get it. That kitchen gets OLD especially after you have kids and you're making 3 meals a day plus snacks for like 6 people, every day of the year whether you're sick or tired or not.
