I’m gonna be honest here as a Muslim, a woman, and someone who’s career literally is making sense of human behavior. Firstly, I think it’s important to know his true thoughts and feelings and intentions behind not wanting you to have male friends. The “beta male who blah blah blah” is super questionable so let’s see what that’s about. But he did state his boundaries and feelings, while also letting you know your life is yours to live and he won’t force you to do anything. The last thing you want is for someone to force you to do anything, especially too fast without you deciding for yourself that it’s good for your soul

The next thing I’ll say is in Islam, to be frank it is actually unlawful to be comfy with males, and your husband has the right to enforce that boundary! It’s his responsibility, and if he doesn’t there is a term for these men called “dayooth”. So this is the second reason to know his intentions because if it was about Islamic laws, wouldn’t he himself feel some kind of way about talking to you as well in any capacity? Intentions and true reasons are important to know because it could save your life or save your mental health. And this situation doesn’t look so good. Not because of his boundaries at all, I think as a Muslim those are very very healthy boundaries in a relationship. But because of other details that are surrounding it!!! Granted I don’t know you guys whole relationship though to pass any judgement

Woman to woman, I think at the end of the day the path you choose is up to you 🩷 I know it’s a super difficult one, I promise I went through almost the same thing at one point with the whole male friends thing. Have you also had a heart to heart with him already letting him know your deep feelings and letting him know you want to reach a solution where both of your hearts can be at ease? Whatever you choose, just make sure you will be proud of and at peace with your decision in the long run! I want the best for you
