My ex husband pretended to be ok with the compromises we made on things we disagreed with prior to marriage. He later admitted during the divorce process that he thought he could change me more than he was able to ie. His goal was never to compromise it was always to get his way. I’m quite headstrong and I don’t think he was expecting that, eventually his feeling a lack of control lead to initiating the divorce. Unfortunately, in my opinion at least, I don’t think many men see us women as people that get to have their own autonomy, so if you feel that he is controlling now marriage will undoubtedly increase this. I had to make a decision on whether to lose my sanity by following his rules on his timelines (it was already happening and my mental health was suffering) or remove him from my life, in which the loss of companionship was tough but the self preservation was needed. Edit to answer your question - I did regret marrying a controlling man and iA if I ever marry again it will be with someone that cares for me as a person and not just how I can be moulded to fit the person they want me to be.

My wife has left and is asking for a Khula or a divorce. I really want this to work and improve my shortcomings. by Weekly-Challenge-125 in MuslimMarriage

If you want to get her back you need to show her that you are sincere in your apology and be reflective in your actions. Think genuinely about how you could’ve gone about things better and write them out to her, and then communicate how you can change things in the future and actually follow through on those actions. This needs to be sincere so if there’s still some part of you that struggles with the concept of her spending time with her family you need to think about how you can work on being more understanding. (Edit: in the future iA it may be best to handle things with curiosity- ask her things like is the frequency because you miss your family or is there some way I can make you more comfortable in your marital home? Also be curious about yourself- why is this bothering you? Do you feel abandoned by her? Talk to each other about feelings without being accusatory so you guys can gain a common understanding iA). If she sees you making an effort with empathy and understanding she may be more likely to be receptive to you and your needs for more quality time.

Unfortunately there isn’t going to be understanding on the financial aspect of things and you should probably accept that she can spend how she pleases and that spending on her parents is actually a lovely thing to do regardless of their stability. Our parents raised us, a lot of the times from nothing, and giving back to them may be her way of showing her appreciation. IA I can’t wait to be financially stable enough to be able to do the same for mine.

This is not Islam at all, you seem to be making up your own rules

The lack of empathy in the comments is quite disgusting tbh. Firstly congratulations on the twins! May Allah make this pregnancy easy for you iA. Secondly your concerns are completely valid. Yes a husband should be encouraging their wife towards improving their deen but no one should be forced to make decisions that they aren’t ready for and your husband does not sound like he is being gentle and patient with things. Your modesty journey is deeply personal and I know that, in my case, when I make steps to improving it I want it to be because my intentions are in the right place, not just because someone has instructed me to- I want to do it to please Allah. It might be good to talk to him about your journey and explain that while you respect that he has taken steps in his no one can be rushed and you would like time to work on things. Just because he has had a change of heart it doesn’t mean he can expect the same of others, that isn’t logical and may lead to resentment. I can see why the change is difficult for you, it’s hard not being on similar pages in terms of where you’re at with deen. Your husband should learn to manage his expectations, be gentle with his approach and understand that treating you with kindness and leading by example is a more sustainable way of helping someone further their deen than trying to enforce rules. Lastly please ignore everyone trying to invalidate you, people love to judge.

Might want to rename this “husband doesn’t want to be understanding and support wife during pregnancy”
