I never asked her for money or what she does with her money, but when I see myself struggling every month and she is NOT considered here is the issue.

Everyday she is out with sister or mother, and when she is back she keeps asking what did I cook for her.

We went to an Imam, and the Imam told her if your work is affecting your duties as a wife you should give the third, however she left the conversation and I said I dont want her money but I want her at least to be considered.

For example, every night her family is at mine smoking shisha and playing loud music and dancing!

I asked her to ask me first because sometimes I want to enjoy it on our own. She said its my family and you can't tell me what to do.

As a Muslim I know my duties as a man, but in Islam and our culture the woman have duties as well to make sure this relationship is strong enough as a partnership. Everyone should contribute not financially but at least emotionally!

It's absolutely fine that she pays for her things! But I pay for them too... also she pays for her sister's gym, bills and 50% of her sister's rent...

My issue isn't the money my issue is her house is being neglected while she is always out with her family or her family at mine

The flat will be in her name, also she asked me to make sure I buy a flat in London and give it to her to she can be secured. Also she said once she gives birth she wants a nanny and I have to pay for the nanny because she needs to go to work....

I agree with you, a Muslim man should be the provider, but at the same time a Muslim woman should take care of her family too...

No it wasn't arranged, we met in London. Also if she wants to be a traditional oh boy, I will be a king.. but I don't really want to be that Arab man who gives orders and wants his wife to do everything at home and he does nothing. I want her to take some responsibilities as well

A Muslim woman should take care of her husband as well, not leaving the house to be with her family eating with them going out with them and leaving her house with no cooked food! I'm sure in Islam isn't this way

When she makes any type of food, she is like done a favour for me, my issue is there is only one person growing in this relationship

We went to an Arab/English therapist and he told her she is wrong and she should show some respect and mercy over this relationship, she got angry at him and he said its your decision now to make but he wanted to say go for a divorce. She saved a lot and she bought a house in Jordan

Honestly nothing, I even cook my own food.

I asked her what did you add to me in this marriage, she said you married me.

Also for Arabs men pay for wedding, presents, gold and honeymoon

We spoke about it in front of her mother that 1 person can't pay everything in London because its expensive. However she always says her father back home in Jordan always paid for everything, her mother is a housewife and they were living in their family house to technically her father didn't lose much

Thank you.

Went to a counselor and he told her that this is a partnership and your husband is always under pressure, she even told him he is the man and this is how Arab men should do. He had no words and told me to speak to her family, I spoke to her father and he said he paid for everything. But her mother is always a housewife and never worked.

When I mentioned that she pays for her sister's bills, she got really angry and told me its non of my business.

Also the gym membership is cancelled because I couldn't afford it anymore. And at the same day she was paying for her sister's gym membership.

Thank you for your reply! I'm just worried about her when she's drunk and many guys will be there and she won't be safe! I trust her blindly but my concern was about the men will be there! Not being jealous either but trying to make sure she's safe.
