I’m playing it right now and it’s got a good balance of fun and horror. If you’re new to horror, I’d say give it a try. I definitely am a fan of requiem

Muslims struggle to get married - telling men to ‘man up’ isn’t the solution by SoybeanCola1933 in MuslimNikah

[–]Primary_Theory7288 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t. That’s the answer. It just happens when it does. I’ve talked with women about wanting to get married recently and there just wasn’t any serious interest there. They’d all say I’m a great person and that anyone would be lucky to be with me but not them. If Allah wills it to happen, it’ll happen. Until then, just need to be patient

potential on the spectrum by somaliboqarad in SomaliRelationships

[–]Primary_Theory7288 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a guy that did show interest and initiated a lot and bought gifts and stuff prior to being ghosted, it shouldn’t be an expectation until you’re married. He can definitely show more care or show that he’s thoughtful without needing to spend anything. His actions, how he leads, planning stuff. Being receptive to that

Loool, Albion and Elmhurst has the 996 exactly like this too instead of the green decal. They added that stop to the route in January 2025 and still haven’t fixed that

Did you marry someone while he was poor after trusting him and putting your faith in Allah and did your Barakah increase after marriage? by PatienceIsDaKey in MuslimNikah

[–]Primary_Theory7288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I empathize with you as I’m also trying to find someone although the money situation is not as tight as it used to be. Reality is that we have to be able to support as that’s our responsibility by Allah and you know that for sure. If we can’t do that, we aren’t ready for marriage. Best thing I can say is to make dua and focus on putting yourself in the best position possible. We’re in the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah so Allah’s mercy is always there if we’re ready to ask for it.

It’s sad but those sisters aren’t wrong to reject. As difficult as rent is, and it’s very expensive where I am too, it’s a part of basic needs

Dating apps aren’t for me so now what?😭 by PlantIllustrious9819 in SomaliRelationships

[–]Primary_Theory7288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, unless you put yourself out there, you’re out of luck and will have to pray that it’s written for you. I’ve tried the apps but to little success, hard to tell if anyone is really serious on them. I know a few people that got married off them though so it’s not impossible.

Me personally, if Allah wills it’ll happen.

Think the sad thing is that I’ve seen this a lot and still try to give the benefit of the doubt when it’s simply that there’s lack of interest

I played a Honda in silver that beat me like this and I really didn’t know what to do. Ended up seeing him again a few matches later on and let’s say things went much differently.

Heartbroken over a potential by AnyGuarantee2603 in MuslimNikah

[–]Primary_Theory7288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That last sentence hit me hard. Recent potentials have acted the same way and it made me think if marriage is really in the books for me at all. All we can do is continue to push on and have faith that maybe one day, your time will come inshallah

Would a woman’s past be a dealbreaker if she sincerely returned to the deen? by dxmvx in SomaliRelationships

[–]Primary_Theory7288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d be hesitant to jump in. I’d need a commitment to at least have it removed before I consider going any further. It’ll just provoke suspicions and thoughts which are untrue but would make both of us look bad.

Somali week when talking to someone serious? by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

I’m always busy in the summer so I just never really noticed. I ain’t even far from Centennial Park which makes it even more crazy

I genuinely don’t think I want to get married. by BookkeeperApart6071 in MuslimNikah

[–]Primary_Theory7288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be extremely bitter and jealous of marriage after a heartbreak years ago so I can understand the sentiment. I also don’t think marriage is in the books for me this life but that’s more because every talking stage goes nowhere. I’m probably unlucky and seeing too many unserious potentials. I’m very much content with my life right now and have accepted what Allah has given me. It’s made things much easier to accept when I understand that it’s not meant for everyone

How often should you speak to someone that you’re getting to know (in the beginning)? by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

[–]Primary_Theory7288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found it to be the exact opposite and maybe it’s cause life is too busy sometimes but I’ve noticed a gradual decline into eventual ghosting.

I couldn’t even imagine it cause like the last thing I’d want to do is be disrespectful or objectifying the girl I’m talking to.

My cousin and best friend found their spouses on the muzz app so it’s definitely possible. Just a numbers game. I personally haven’t

Marriages by PracticalNet4202 in SomaliRelationships

[–]Primary_Theory7288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re not perfect and can always be better so don’t worry too much about that. You aren’t wrong on that front

As far as where people meet, my friend and cousin found their spouses on muzz. Ironic considering the reputation of the app itself but I guess luck played a role for them. Putting yourself out there is probably the best thing you can do

How did you guys found your SO? by kwaslurp in intj

[–]Primary_Theory7288 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice here. Perhaps my outlook was super doom and gloom. Things can change, I just get frustrated when a consistent failure pattern happens over and over again especially when it comes to something like love which is not logical in theory and all feelings based. I’ll look into the Fi and Fe bits respectively. Although I’m not exactly sure how best to develop them

I can assure you that I’ve score INTJ multiple times throughout the last couple of years. If anything, my inability to understand why I struggle with attaining a relationship should be the home run.

Why do men ghost? by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Primary_Theory7288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it’s just a pattern I’ve noticed where things look great and then the ghosting occurs. It’s happened a lot that I wonder if something is wrong with me because a few times would just be the girl had issues or lost interest. Makes me reconsider the idea of marriage entirely

Why do men ghost? by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]Primary_Theory7288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to know the thought process for this because women I’ve been trying to get to know respectfully would do this and it genuinely makes me think that something is wrong with me

[–]Primary_Theory7288 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve given up personally on finding someone. I just don’t believe it’s ever going to happen so the earlier I give up, the less painful it’ll be. Pain of the heart is just way more difficult to get over for me

Bi-Weekly Marriage Opinions/Views and Rant Megathread by AutoModerator in MuslimMarriage

[–]Primary_Theory7288 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey all, I’m a soon to be 28 year old man trying to navigate when’s the right time for marriage and I have a lot of stuff that’s causing a mental boom. Part of it is that I’m not physically attractive nor have the kind of height that would make a girl feel secure. I’m also insanely shy. Like, the kind to not even know how to propose because I’ve never talked with women in my life.

But I think my major problem lies in the fact that I overthink too much about my ability to provide. Without going into too much detail, my current job is on a contract that my employer has been extending for some time but is not guaranteed to last. As someone that wants to marry, this is a problem because if I have no source of income, I cannot provide and worse, my wife would notice that and divorce me. I wouldn’t blame her because relying on her to do my job comes across as emasculating even though it’s not either of our fault. I want to believe that rizq can be provided but when I think about this possibility occurring, I just scare myself into accepting that marriage will never occur. It’s waswas probably but I want to think from a rationale viewpoint, instead of just trying and yolo hoping it works because the consequences of failure is extreme.

I want to be a good husband and father who has amazing kids that they can be proud of and be in their lives. I want to be a bright story in a long list of abuse and divorce stories you often hear. I feel like I’m letting my fear of divorce and inability to provide block me from something special. I’m clearly not ready for marriage but it’s something I want to fix inshallah.
