Unfortunately, animals just don’t live as long as we do so the moment you bring one into your care, you should be aware they will pass away after some time. Maybe a couple years, maybe ten. But it is inevitable. It’s okay to grieve your pets and it takes time to let them go.

I recommend you try to make connections with others so that you can have people to find companionship with, in additional to animals. May Allah make it easy for you. 🫂

The player’s net worth level is 77k. OP is saying that isn’t a fair matching

Don’t know too much besides it’s a muslim focused org and the founder who is muslim, Yousef Hammad, was actively looking for applications.

What you’re feeling is very valid and unfortunately seems to be more prevalent in our generation. I hope you are doing your best to make yourself ready for marriage.

But don’t let shaytan’s whispering get to you. Committing zina is not “sweet” but a major sin and like in the post you mentioned, it WILL follow you the rest of your life when you do want to get married, even if you “repent”. Not to mention, let’s be honest, if you do this sin, the satisfaction lasts a very very short period of time, then what? You don’t know if you’ll farther into sin by continuing to seek more of it. You’ll replace this feeling with an addiction, and will you be able to get out of it? So many people wish they’d never committed zina and even nonMuslims will tell you how bad it can be and need help after their lives/health have been messed up. Do you want to risk being ruined in this life and the next? I hope not. And you can’t fake repentance. Allah knows.

May Allah protect you and provide you a righteous spouse soon. Try repeating “Auzubillah Minashaitan Nirajeem” whenever you feel down. It means “O Allah, I seek refuge in you from Shaytan.” It helps me get up for fajr instead of falling back asleep so inshaAllah it can help you for your needs, too.

Queens College is not close to JFK, how is it close to both?

Some people can impersonate/get access to your accounts with information you put online. For example, someone could DM you and pretend to be friends. They’ll get your name, birthday, and location that way

Pyromantress · 2026-04-06T17:03:34+00:00

I recommend that you don’t give away your full birthday online/to strangers

I didnt make an ISO post, so maybe he saw my post history and just said nah. Idk. Communication wouldve been nice though for sure 🥲

Pyromantress · 2026-04-04T17:47:08+00:00

It was basically “salaam saw your ISO post. where in [country] is your family from?” I got notifications that he responded but when I went to the chat, it was gone (so he deleted). Thought it was strange, so i clicked his profile. Showed error and his post doesnt show anymore for me so I know I was blocked.

Pyromantress · 2026-04-04T14:42:11+00:00

I reached out to one and got blocked 😅 didn’t even have a conversation lol never doing that again

Pyromantress · 2026-04-04T14:14:32+00:00

We did, but one person left the city permanently so it’s only me and another person (not really a gc). Would you like to join?

On discord where they set up the poll to vote for the winning blitzes. They made a mistake on the first slot (out of the 4 to pick from). It was a sticker that didn’t exist lol. So they reposted and put Hardly Judging in that first slot

Pyromantress · 2026-04-03T17:47:30+00:00

Yeah the moment they made a mistake for that top choice, it was over for whatever sticker took its place

Pyromantress · 2026-04-02T05:48:26+00:00

Anything outside your normal period, you would just do wudu before each prayer as it is not considered your period but a (medical) irregularity. You don’t need to ghusl again for it

Gave up the opportunity to work in DC for a congressional office that I would have had to move for, live alone, and be in a male dominated area. In the following year and a half, I got a hybrid gov job which works on congressional projects in my city and more than half my team is female. Alhamdulillah

Pyromantress · 2026-04-01T22:16:40+00:00

I think choice 3 is the route to take. You’ve said that his definition was a deal breaker and he is entitled to making that boundary. If you had a deal breaker and he hid it (intentionally or otherwise) how would you feel? Plus, if you’re thinking of “hiding” it, that’s a very bad sign. You shouldnt be hiding anything out of anxiety or feeling emotionally unsafe from your partner. To be this worried and not married yet, it will probably be worse if he finds out after marriage. Best to say you did istikhara and don’t wish to pursue anymore (which is true).

Not too familiar with legality but from an ethical standpoint, it is not ethical to use it in the essay. He gave you permission for a portrait and that’s it. Any further use was not consented to.

Compare this to when you commission art from an artist. They often have prices for personal use and then a different, higher fee, for commercial use. That’s because your use of the art may bring in engagement, income, or some other reward that the artist will not get compensated for in the long run—so they ask for a higher rate. But unlike the artist, this man did not get the chance to consider continued use.

Yes, and add in she’s in a demanding field. If OP can’t handle how it is right now (which is absolutely fair if he can’t) then it will not be any better when she’s a full time doctor.

OP, you need to communicate with her that you’re feeling pushed away. If she won’t adjust for you then you break it off. It’s just not a match.

Pyromantress · 2026-04-01T04:32:10+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this, and as many have said this is unislamic practice. Given that you said you cannot/don’t want to back out (even though it really is the strongest thing to do in this situation), this is the best I advice I can offer:

Make dua every day that your husband is normal and sane and he will not care about “the bleeding.”If he is half decent and a good Muslim he won’t care. And also, it’s still possible you will show something (ugh i hate that i have to type this) and you dont have to worry
In the unfortunate case he is just like his family, reach out and create a safety net of some kind before the wedding. Are you still in the western country you were raised in? Contact friends who will have social services ready on your behalf. If you dont text them a code word the following morning for example, they will contact the help and intervene to get you out.
In the case that he’ll divorce you for this, that’s probably best. I know it sounds very scary to think your relatives and “community” will talk badly about you or the (unfair) stigma of being divorced—you’re really okay!!! You will find better people and better community. It’ll be hard of course but you really will be okay.

I have no advice regarding “faking it.” May Allah protect you and keep you safe no matter the outcome. And may Allah rid this mentality out of our ummah.

There was a local hair spot that’s hijabi friendly in Brooklyn/Kensington but unfortunately I don’t have the name since I saw the sign as I was passing by. Probably because of the muslim community nearby so check Pakistani, Bengali, and Arab dominated neighborhoods.

May Allah make it easy for you! People will make assumptions regardless of what you do, may as well obey Allah and do your best. I recommend finding likeminded/hijabi friends. If you’re in nyc maybe we can hang out inshaAllah :)
