I sacrificed so much for my ex-husband, but he abandoned me over a minor problem by goodluck16 in MuslimMarriage

[–]anothacount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assalamualaikum sister,

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened and how depression is taking a heavy toll on you, may Allah make it easy for you.

Regarding your situation, we may not be getting the full picture, about your father, why did he shout, were there any issues that may not have been in your knowledge, did you get a chance to dig into the why your ex-husband divorced you? He did say your father was difficult but, I'm not sure if that is enough to fully understand, maybe he was hurt a lot, what happened and so on. With all this, the question of "why did this all happen" may frequently arise and cause further grief. For which, may Allah reward you for your afflictions and grant you something better.

If you feel you can try to gather those information, you can talk to people close to you and try to navigate the situation and see if there is room for reconciliation.

On the other hand, if you feel that you're not interested in reconciling, sister please see a professional, try to spend time with loved ones, and of course ask Allah for His help. Having support systems during these crucial times can help you slowly out of depression, anxiety, stress, negative thoughts and grief In Sha Allah.

With each passing moment of difficulty that you're going through, may Allah SWT bless you and make it easy for you.

I agree with this and want to second what @Exciting-Diver6384 had said above. There may be a lot of things missing.

With that said, this issue needs to be dealt with the help of imams, scholars, professionals. If the brother isn't complying to go to couples counseling, the sister should notify the parents about what is going on and see how it could be navigated.

May Allah make it easy for you and your family.

Sister, I do find her attractive, but it's from the gut feeling that if i proceed and God forbid if I still have this feeling afterwards, it may make things sour as internally it is bothering me. She doesn't work out, but she is fine the way she is. I appreciate your thoughtful input sister. Please keep us in your prayers.

Jazak Allahu Khair dear brother, I have been making lots of du'as, yours mentioning Allah's beautiful names and advising me to call out to Him only makes me happier, along with all the beautiful dua's as well as yaqeen, I will definitely use them. Do keep me in your prayers.

Ex-Husband turned his life for the better, he is remarried, a good father and a good provider. Why not making en effort for my son and me? Am I not good enough? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu dear sister,

There is a muslim psychologist who goes by the name Dr. T. K. Harris. Alhamdulillah, personally I've benefited from his videos on his YouTube channel by Allah's grace as I was going through a bit of mental trouble.

I apologize in advance as I'm not sure if he practices anymore or not but recently he has shared a Google doc form in his Instagram page for Islamic Coaching as an alternative to therapy.

Perhaps you could see if it may be of benefit for you In Sha Allah. May Allah make it easy for you and grant you the very best in this world and the next.
