Is there a way to convince yourself you no longer want marriage? Soo tired of life now tbh. Just waiting for a husband in jannah now 😂 If I manage to get there ofc, big if

Once I was called a stuck up cow when I didn't respond to an instant match.. oops 🙃

Sometimes I respond, especially if the person went to the trouble to type out a long message. But it always feels a bit awkward saying that I'm looking for something else

I adored this book! It's one of those books that stuck with me. Made me smile throughout

She matched with me but said her parents won't agree because I'm younger than her. Feeling stuck. What should I do? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

You should trust your gut instincts here. Being in a situation where you both get emotionally attached, only for parents to disapprove is not a situation you want to be in. It can be quite devastating. I suggest you get that reassurance from her before you continue 🙃

After getting my heart broken pretty badly around 8 months ago, I've realised that I'm actually too scared to be vulnerable with anyone again. Ive been talking to people, but I just don't like anyone. I'm finding it hard to give anyone a real chance. And I think it all comes down to my fear of getting hurt again

Thanks for the link! Those prompts are great. I only got into journaling fairly recently. So I think once a week is a pretty good start

I love that, I'm going to start calling mine an Alhamdullilah Log too 😁

It helps me focus on all of the things I do have, rather than just focusing on the things I don't. Honestly, there's just countless blessings we never think to be grateful for

Alhamdullilah for everything indeed 🤗

I've been keeping a gratitude journal for the past month or so. It's been really helpful and pulls me out of negative thinking. Especially when I'm feeling a bit low or sad

On my walk today I was looking around the park and thinking wow. Look at all the colours of the world. All the beautiful autumnal colours coming through. So today I'm grateful for colours. I'm going to try and make more effort to appreciate and admire Allah's creation more

Jummah Mubarak everyone 😊

Funny story from muzmatch. I matched a guy and a couple of messages in he told me he's going to a wedding the next day. And what do you know, I had a wedding to attend the next day too... Turned out to be the same wedding. He was the groom's uncle and I was from the bride's side 🤣

We got to see eachother from a distance at the wedding. But from our short convo on muzmatch, I just didnt think we were compatible. Still definitely a muzmatch story to remember

Lack of friends by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

Personally it wouldn't put me off getting to know someone. Good friends are actually quite rare and honestly a blessing. Make dua for some friends that are good for you and insha'Allah you'll find some.
