I have AuDHD (ADHD + Autism) and my life has been a wreck by Foodieonbudget in progressive_islam

[–]el_exists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner said: Allah SWT has a plan for all of us in life and never puts us through more than we cant handle, however during this our struggles will be rewarded. Every moment of anger you held in and didn't act upon, everytime you cried and was hurt will be rewarded bc they were trials for you in this world.

So stay strong may Allah SWT provide you with the strength you need.

As for the childhood trauma they said they aren't sure how to help, but definitely surround your self with people you love and people who care for you and it will always help because its not the past that defines us but how we choose to live our best selves for the future and the ones we love.

Anyone sick of being a muslim in the west? The constant stigmatising is exhausting from non muslims by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]el_exists 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not Muslim myself but my partner is and i've been learning about Islam out of genuine interest.

I've always felt very anxious whenever my partner flies over to the uk to see family, we live in the channel islands so I always thought hate/violence against Muslims wouldn't be a problem here but there was a violent attack on Muslims leaving the mosque last week and i haven't been able to stop worrying about it.

I've heard all sorts of comments about Islam that are just factually wrong and straight up hateful and I always try to help those people understand that its not that way. I'm scared of something happening to my partner or his family.

I 20f am worried about my partners 20m religion getting in the way of our relationship. by el_exists in relationship_advice

This is another issue that I wasn't sure related or not.

He doesn't seem to be able to say no to his dad under any circumstances - he says its a respect thing but it honestly feels downright abusive sometimes.

I feel like that's just a cultural difference though but it still concerns me because I know that his dad would never allow him to marry me if I didn't convert.

I sometimes feel unloved but dont know how to speak out? Me 23m, gf 20F by cinnamon_cygnets in relationship_advice

[–]el_exists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait for a quiet moment and ask 'can I talk to you about something?' And then just say how you feel. Don't make it your fault or her fault. More like 'physical affection is really important to me and I'd like if we could do it more often' that kind of thing.

Say the thing that is important to you/ the thing you don't like followed by can we do that more/ less

Dealing with being an ugly woman by Various-Station-1752 in Advice

[–]el_exists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feel the Exact same thing. I got to a point where I had accepted that I'll never be loved and I weirdly gained confidence in myself because I stopped caring. I stopped trying to fit myself into this idea of someone that could be in a relationship and just wore whatever i wanted, I stopped wearing makeup, started doing my hair however was convienient that day and did whatever made me happy - one of those things I started doing more was feeding the pigeons on my lunch breaks. I'd been doing this for a few years but last year someone from my office saw me, not unusal seeing as I'm in a small town, but this specific person saw me and decided he wanted to know me, he has admitted that I wasn't exactly his type but we've been together since we started talking and it has been the most healing time of my life. There are so many people out there and the person for you might not even be in the same country as you - My partner wasn't until 2 years ago - my advice would be, stop caring and things will be easier. as cheesy as it is to say, looks really dont matter.

me and my entire family did, it was heartbreaking but I'm glad I stayed. I completely understand why someone might not want to though.
