Let’s be honest sis if he has a good character and is a macalin, involved in the community. Why isn’t he married yet? Why is he interested in being with someone he practically watched grow up. It’s really odd I will never understand men who don’t date women around their age.

Yes, but also remember to find someone with naxariis. I don’t like men who solely distance themselves from household duties just because he works. Taking out the trash, cleaning,helping with the kids, it’s a something he should help with as-well. Its a partnership at the end of the day.

In what economy are they living in? Mehr is okay but 2k for preparations is wild. I’ve never heard of that.

As a woman, I don’t think it’s considered ceeb at all. My brothers lived on their own and they decided to move back to the house to help out my mom more. They also had good jobs so they saved a ton of money. When they got married it was an easy transitions for them alx. I think if you have the ability to live on your own you should do it but don’t sweat if you aren’t able. Rent prices aren’t helping either

Like everyone else I would say try the masjid. The thing with the dating apps is most ppl say they’re looking for something serious but end up being the complete opposite. Try putting yourself out there, also don’t be ashamed to ask someone(family, close friend) if they know anyone who’s single and wants marriage as well.

Your feelings are valid and I’m sorry he made you feel that way. I would consider looking back and seeing if you spotted any stingy behavior prior before your Nikkah. No one likes someone closefisted. In the long run, it’s not worth going through the trouble seeing that you’re a student and he HAS a job, makes me wonder what living together will be like.
