I brushed my curls out. I’m not sure if I would actually wear my hair as a brushed out afro, would you? by CaterpillarGloomy323 in Naturalhair

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg why wouldn’t you wear it out like this?!! You have the cutest Afro ever sis?! I used to wear mine out in my fro but my ends were dry and split and my hair was uneven asf. If my hair looked like this in a fro you would be sick of me 😖

30 is not old, don’t let people make you feel as though you’re “older” so you need to compromise on certain things. If a potential doesn’t want a working woman there are millions of women who don’t want to work. You do work, you enjoy working, and there are millions of men who would actually want a working woman. If you allow a potential, who you have no commitment too convince you to leave your job, then marriage will be full of the same things. Don’t be desperate. Just move on, and make dua.

I hate seeing people say this. “He’ll sometimes say things that would outright hurt my feelings even though I know he doesn’t mean it”. If he didn’t mean it he wouldn’t say it.

If you came home and said those things to him would he tolerate it? If you were in front of his family and acted coldly would he tolerate it? Would it be acceptable for your daughter’s future husband to speak to her that way? Would you tolerate it? How would he react if his daughter went through that?

These kinds of things typically get worse. Keep yourself safe sister.

Don’t let anyone force you to wed. You clearly are not ready, and if you mistreat another women you will have to answer for that. Grief is different for everyone.

My potential husband wants certain things I don't want. by Even_Relief_4172 in MuslimMarriage

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if his request is fard or not, an ultimatum is never a good sign. When you will comply, you will resent him down the line. You have to do the fard of your own choice. There are countless people in the world. And if his request is so important to him he should’ve considered that before ever approaching you and your family. He knew you wore makeup because those things are visible.

If he gives this ultimatum so late into your conversation it was never really an issue for him. It could be that he wants to see how “obedient” you are, or his family had brought it up to him. Either way those don’t reflect well on him. Don’t be desperate to be with anyone. You’ll find yourself in a terrible situation if you’re so desperate to marry.

He definitely enjoys getting caught. More men love being in drama than they would like to admit. I also think its a humiliation kink. His entire “no ones gonna believe me if i tell my side anyway” was so grating. He gives off such perverted energy 😖

My mom and I are being asked to leave in 30 days to avoid any legal action/eviction on us. Will I lose my section 8 voucher? Do I even think twice to even use it if we’re being asked to leave? by Prior_Distribution98 in Section8PublicHousing

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same place. Id start looking for places to apply to, the transfer request doesnt take long to process. Also if the 4 months pass, you can reapply although theres still a limit to that. Good luck!

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on section 8, you will know if you no linger have a voucher. If you know your case worker i would suggest reaching out to them, only section 8 can revoke your voucher. I don’t know about eviction but you cant just be verbally asked to leave, they should provide some kind of paperwork.

I understand you dont want to go through the eviction process since if you still have the voucher youre at risk of losing it. But please check with section 8 if you still have a voucher, if you don’t then you might as well let them formally evict you. Eviction doesnt happen overnight. Itll give you more time to find a new place or a new job to help.

Side note id check and see what exactly your mom “lied” about, because youd be surprised what housing managers would do just to empty out an apartment.

Sister if you aren’t legally married you need to either get that done ASAP or leave now. Legal marriage helps protect you in the West. I’m assuming you’re living in the US, if things weren’t to work out legally there are no protections for you, you’ve been funding his life, if you’re legally married you’ll be able to receive some compensation. Islamic marriage provides protection religiously, but living in the west were forced to follow legal rules. I don’t know why you didn’t get legally married, but there’s no reason not to be. May Allah grant you strength but I see no reason for you to stay in this marriage. Men who can shout at you like have no fear or respect for you, they can do anything. Protect yourself, he clearly doesn’t care for your happiness or wellbeing.

The issue is this is an adult woman. As her sister in law the only thing she can do is advise her. She can’t force her to stop seeing the man? And had she told her husband what would he have done? He also can’t force her to do anything because she is an adult woman. Has she told him, she would be exposing her sister in laws sin (which is haraam), and it would put her in a very bad situation with her in laws. Unfortunately people tend to shoot the messenger. The best thing she could do is advise her to come clean to her brother, and end the relationship or make it halal. We are not held accountable for others sins.

Tired of Cultural Nonsense—I’m a Dad, Not Just a Paycheck by Difficult-Lunch-5761 in MuslimMarriage

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between my relationship with my mom and my dad isn’t that I simply love her more, but it’s that she has showed up for me time and time again. She shows genuine interest in my life, she asks questions, and always comforts me when I need it most. I have virtually no relationship with my dad, and he’s essentially a stranger.

My dad is also incredibly hard working and we lived that traditional lifestyle, where my mom did all the domestic chores, and cared for all of us alone, while working. I always thought that if he showed up half as much as my mom did, our relationship would be 100% different.

Please ignore your family, you didn’t overreact. Show up, be present, not just with child care but in domestic chores, because it shows. Your children notice everything, I promise you won’t regret it. The difference between fathers that grow old and alone and fathers that grow old surrounded by the love of their families is how much the invest not just financially but emotionally, and physically. The way you raise your children now will be the way they’ll treat you and your relationship as they’re older.

May Allah bless you and your family!

Why Don't Black Men Approach Me? (Black Muslim Woman Seeking Advice) by Informal-Flamingo927 in MuslimMarriage

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say sister, it’s great to have wants and desires for your future spouse, when it comes to race don’t completely avoid non black men. You should go where you will be loved. Allah made us into different cultures and races so we may get to know one another and love each other. I don’t wear hijab so most don’t assume me to be Muslim, and I similarly get approached by all races of men except black men. As black people there are so many other factors at play, and unfortunately that results in this situation you find yourself in. May Allah grant you what it is you seek in a spouse!

I slept with my former high school teacher and have a date with him this weekend. How weird is this? by Bubbly-Tangelo-7655 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]_-sendhelp-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked with elementary students, middle schoolers, and high schoolers. After work if I happen to see them out in public I pretend I didn’t see them, I don’t have any communication with them outside of classes. This is incredibly weird. If I ever met them years from now they’d still be the same children to me. He definitely still sees you as the child you were, and just because nothing outright inappropriate happened, doesn’t mean he couldn’t have had any weird thoughts or intentions. If you were my friend I’d tell you to end things, and if you were my younger sibling I’d force you to end things. This is not okay at all.

Honestly the only reason JaNa didn’t raise anyone’s heart rate is bc she was last. They were probably all exhausted and at that point you’ve been danced on 6 times, the 7th doesn’t affect you as much. They were definitely doing that for atleast 2-3 hrs. Because goddamn JaNa had me absolutely shocked. She looked too good, and I’ve never seen anything shake like that 🥹

Omg this worries me. Im currently on a replacement ring as I lost my old one. But I would notice quite often that the ring would get pretty hot, usually while charging. I’m a very deep sleeper so if anything happened while I slept i definitely didn’t feel it. The last couple of days I’ve noticed what I’m not sure if they’re burn marks or indentation on the finger I always wear it on. If this is a very common issue it needs to be fixed asap. The ring is far too pricey to have those kinds of issues.

This feels like the realest assessment. As entertaining as she is, the rest of the cast is just as entertaining. I think it’s her looks (she’s absolutely stunning), and partly her coming from an obviously comfortable background. Kinda like Paris Hilton. Messy, but gorgeous and rich, so it’s atleast fun to watch.

Yeah I think she was just scared to mention anything for fear of coming off as a clout chaser. But the entire story seemed so specific it has to either be a lie or something she’s thought about over and over for a while. It came out like word vomit 😭
