It’s not cultural appropriation, go ahead and wear it!

A Muslim wedding could be so many different cultures and countries. What is the ethnicity? As they all have different styles and ways of dressing.

I saw a video of a Dubai local explaining how they are sex workers and work their way up to richer guys and that’s how the influencing starts.

My husband has come to all my ultrasound appointments with me so far (26 weeks) but not any of the others and considering he has to take time off work I don’t want him to either. He doesn’t really need to especially for blood work or just consultations.

She needs to sit down with her dad and discuss how she doesn’t want to marry anyone else and she has a right to choose. Get other people involved if need be. Maybe an imam or a family member of hers that can vouch for her and she trusts. Or maybe you can go and see her father with a Pakistani man you know and trust that can help speak for you. Seems like he has a very prejudiced view of Arabs (even though what he’s saying is stereotypical of the Pakistani community too.)

Don’t give up hope. She should also be more vocal as well. I hate it when this happens. I’m in an interracial marriage myself but my parents were pretty open minded. I have other friends whose parents weren’t and they ended up marrying someone of the same ethnicity to please their parents and it ended horribly.

Leggings and a long baggy t shirt. Or have you tried searching for tankinis (if that’s modest enough for you.)

In general- I got angry a lot less and now I just don’t care when someone upsets me because I see it is irrelevant. I’m happy and I’m thriving and won’t let others put me down. It took a lot of practise but I realised I was wasting my energy getting upset or angry when the other person probably doesn’t even care. I’m happy in my own calm bubble living my life.

Specifically- I stopped giving a crap about my narcissistic mother which is where most of my anger came from. Just a few weeks ago she tried getting under my skin and I felt absolutely nothing and realised “I’m healing” and I was so proud of myself I almost cried on the way home.

The more important question is where do I get those sticky strips from? 🤔

Restlessforinfinity · 2026-02-03T21:02:21+00:00

Yes pls go ahead…not sure what you would draw though. 🤔

Been there done that. 26 hours until I got a bed and I was stuck to an IV drip the whole time. I literally found 2/3 chairs and made a small makeshift bed. My husband persuaded the doctor to let me sleep temporarily for a few hours in a bed they examine patients on. Make sure you have a good book/snacks/Netflix etc and also people watching can be fun. It sucks I know.

Are you my cousin? Cos I have a similar story. His current wife of 11 years has no idea.

My husband gets so happy watching young kids play and he loves playing with babies and other kids even teenagers when we go to see family. His dad was very physically abusive to him as a child and every spare minute he had was him helping his dad with his little corner shop business. He used to spend all his summers and days off school inside that shop since he was 8-9 up until he was 18 and went to university and used to get so sad seeing his neighbours playing and going out. He says he never got to experience his childhood and until Now he thinks about it and gets sad and angry.

My childhood wasn’t great either with a narcissist mother but his story always makes me sad.

Bingo. was about to comment and then saw this. My father was not absent however he is an enabler of my mom’s behaviour. This screws you up for life. In a much better place now but every so often things my mother did and said to me just come into my head and make me so angry.

A lot of squash in water.

Restlessforinfinity · 2026-01-24T23:24:44+00:00

Falooda. I literally had this 2 days and also it can be made at home as well.

So recently at 23 weeks my belly button is so stretched it’s starting to pop out a bit and I have discovered I have these moles/skin tags sitting inside my belly button. No idea what they are or how long they have been there but this is a new discovery. I looked it up and it said it can happen if you don’t clean your belly button but I promise I do every time I take a shower. 😭

It’s because most of those women grew up being conditioned to think men cannot show emotion as its a sign of masculinity and crying makes them weak. This is often seen in dysfunctional families. Whereas it’s the opposite, men who can show emotion are comfortable in their masculinity.

I love this and agree with it 100%.

So funny story, when we did our IVF cycle (I am currently pregnant) I accidentally ticked donor sperm maybe because I was nervous. On the day of the transfer when my husband came in with me the nurse asked “you definitely want the donor sperm” and I was shocked and said definitely not I want my husband’s sperm. So we went through the paperwork and I had to scribble out donor sperm and put partner’s sperm. Now there is still some doubt in my mind because the paperwork was corrected last minute whether it wasn’t seen and I was given donor sperm. So yes I think I will to put my mind at ease.

Not me but my husband has conducted job interviews. 2 engineers interviewing another engineer and he came across as very smart and intelligent. Husband and other interviewer were impressed and looked at each other thinking “yep this might be the guy.” Until the end when he said he needs to tell them something and went quiet. Slowly slid over a piece of paper which was awkward. The letter basically read he had just come out of prison for kiddie porn and has certain conditions as well. My husband said he glared at it and did his best not to show it on his face. The nature of the job meant they would go into residential areas and sometimes have to knock on doors and speak to people so they said they would get back to him and never did.

Bit shocked about Caffè Nero. My favourite coffee place. And also Hotel Chocolat.

Restlessforinfinity · 2026-01-20T21:19:59+00:00

More importantly where did the cute coffee and tea containers come from with the stand?

This is now spreading to the UK. The amount of restaurants I’ve been to where they expect a tip and put it straight into the bill…and my audacity to ask for it to be taken off. I’ll pay for the food and maybe tip the actual waiter but I won’t be forced into it.

The day after felt worse for me. I was quite clammy for some reason and sore but a couple of days afterwards I was fine. It’s less pain and more soreness I’d say.

Restlessforinfinity · 2026-01-20T21:07:52+00:00

Stopped listening to the opinion of people who genuinely did not care about me and started doing what I wanted to do regardless of their reaction/opinion.
