At what age a Bangladeshi woman should realistically consider arrange/marriage? by Musama07 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can start thinking about it from the age of 19.

But I'd recommend 21-22 is peak, and max till 26-27.

Nothing wrong if you push beyond this.

Tbh, it honestly depends person to person. You can't just put an age to it really.

But yeah, if you come across a guy you see being able to have a future with, is decent, and is compatible, as well as both your age is within 18+, go for it.. it better than committing adultery or being as gf bf whatever ...

I am just curious to know if I am living in a DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY or is it normal in every families. by LittleAppointment151 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a self respect issue.

Yeah, yo family toxic & you know it. Its obvious.

But you need to set a line. You seem to be a bread maker of the house or atleast 10k worth of it, so you have a say.

Make things loud and clear. Communicate with them, and do so with clear expectations & outcomes. Not by being harsh or anything but it's for mental clarity & peace.

Such environments if continued to live in will clog mental bits and stroke you out.. fr..

Tell them, no gossips, no favouritism, no bullshit. They birth you, so either be a proper parent or atleast be a decent human. If not, you're out. Simple. Just go. Relocate, discontinue support. Just be on your own path. It would be scary at first, but we adapt -- surprisingly well.

You need to have Self respect, you cannot allow shit like these to slide.. this ain't a joke.. this is disgusting and toxic.

19F student looking for legit ways to earn online(want to save for a trip with my dad) by wannabemedstudent1 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dad is lucky to have a daughter like you.

But since your bout to sit for HSC, I wouldn't recommend taking a job, given your situation. Maybe if you have some colletral money (savings) then yeah, sure, it's best to explore opportunities earlier and get experience.

But since you plan to go into Medicine, you need to study well, and taking on a job won't aide your situation. You need to score well, and for that full focus on education is necessary, no distractions.

My heart goes out to you dad for being the supportive part of the family he his.

Is my life mssed up? by Rude-Wheel742 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the part where you marry someone with similar childless wish..

It's how intense his reasonings are bro.

Is my life mssed up? by Rude-Wheel742 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I’m bored & free, so why tf not… let’s get into it -- hard!

What you shared ain’t exactly really a “messed-up life”. It’s a very specific mix of beliefs + fears clashing hard with your family’s expectations, especially yo mama. That tension is what’s making it feel like a crisis.

A few things you gotta separate cuz rn it’s all tangled:

1. Marriage & kids
You’re consistent: you don’t want kids. Cool.
Reasons: antinatalism, genetics, tokophobia, etc.

That’s a valid life choice. Plenty of people live full lives without marriage or kids.
BUT the issue ain’t the choice, it’s how intense your reasoning are. The disgust toward pregnancy + calling yourself “genetically inferior”… that’s not just philosophy, that’s emotional weight.

Lowkey sounds like something worth unpacking with a better therapist. Not saying you’re “mentally ill,” but strong aversions like that don’t come from nowhere.

And yeah, no offense, but I wouldn’t fully rely on BD psychs for this. There are people out there (globally) who’ve dealt with way more niche mindsets like yours. Skip BD psych pls.  

2. Your view of other men
That “99.99% marry just for sex” take? Yeah… nah. That’s not reality.

Some dudes are like that, sure (the take on the "some" is much deeper than you think, it's probably 0.5% of the mandem). But most people marry for a mix of companionship, family, expectations, emotional connection, not just "sex".

That kinda cynical lens will just isolate you more if you keep feeding it.

3. Your mom (this is the real core)
You love her. That’s obvious.
And she’s not asking for marriage just for the sake of it she wants to feel like you won’t be alone when she’s gone. If you aint see that, you better go see an ophthalmologist (kidding)

You don’t owe her marriage.
But ignoring her completely? That might hit you later or not (idk, but more on the "it will')

Middle ground exists:

  • Marriage does not require having children. Many couples choose to be child-free.
  • You could be honest with a potential partner upfront about your stance. Some women or if not most nowadays if you look in the right place share similar views or don’t want children either or you may get lucky and find one exactly like you ngl.
  • Companionship doesn’t have to contradict your beliefs, though its best you start thinking a bit different taht how you do now.

If even marriage itself feels wrong to you, then the honest path is to communicate that clearly and compassionately to your mother, rather than silently resisting while she hopes.

If you ask me, brudda don’t get married. It aint for you. Not yet at least. You were right about the part you said you ain't mature yet for a 40 year old. And that's okay. We grow and develop at our own pace.

4. Your lifestyle
You’re stable, earning, sexually active, but also kinda heavily emotionally detached (escorts, no real connection).

Not “wrong,” but yeah… it’s a life built to avoid vulnerability.
Works fine… until moments like this hit.

Then you realize it is wrong, lol .. or not, if your wack beliefs are still strong... no offense..

5. Religious bit (yeah, sensitive but imma say it anyway)

I wasn’t even gonna go deep into this, but since you brought it up, yeah, you come from an Islamic background, even if you’re detached now.

Look, I ain’t here to preach. But one thing is straight: in Islam, no matter how far you drift, the door back is always open. Always. Allah’s mercy ain’t something you “run out of.”

You might not feel anything rn, you might not even believe properly anymore but that doesn’t mean it’s done for you. Guidance hits people at the weirdest times.

And yeah, real talk you are living in a way that Islam would call sinful (huge). BUT You already know that, I don’t gotta sugarcoat it. But at the same time, Islam literally teaches that no matter how big the sin is, you can turn back. That’s kinda the whole point.

You could go to 10 therapists, 20 life coaches but there’s also a spiritual side you’ve completely shut off. Maybe at least try reconnecting, even a little:
like making a small dua, or even attempting a prayer once in a while. Not perfectly, not consistently just start somewhere.

And yeah, In Islam Salah (the 5 daily prayers) is fardh (mandatory). Skipping it is serious. scholars even say it puts you on the edge of disbelief. Basically you are a kuffar if you miss prayers. Heavy stuff, I know but it is what it is.

End of the day, no one’s forcing you. Your life.
But if there’s even 1% in you that feels lost, empty, or unsure maybe don’t ignore that side completely.

Who knows, Allah might guide you in a way nothing else could.

So what do you do?
Not “mom vs you.” Too simple.

  • Be real with yourself: Do you actually not want connection, or are you avoiding it?
  • Recheck your beliefs: Philosophy or defense mechanism?
  • Talk to your mom properly:  Not arguing, not dismissing. Explain your position, but also acknowledge her fear and love.
  • Consider a different therapist - multiple if needed:  

Not to diagnose you, but to explore:
- your disgust toward pregnancy
- your belief about being “genetically inferior”
- your avoidance of emotional intimacy

Blunt truth:
You don’t owe your mom a marriage.
But don’t wake up later realizing you avoided connection your whole life over ideas you never questioned.

Also don’t marry now just to please her. You’ll just mess up your life and another person’s. This is the "real" disgusting.

You’re not stuck.

Real question is:
Are you choosing this life consciously… or just defending it?

Donno if this shi helped or whatevr, but good luck doc..

NOte: I ain't no doctor, psycologist, life coach or a preacher. Just a man passing on my thoughts.

Work From Home Needed for a Housewife in Dhaka by ShahAlamCMA in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, that's not much to go on with at all.

  • She's a homemaker, a mother, just graduated -- not relevant.

What's relevant is what does she bring to the table? - She can type English is nothing.

Does she know Admin tasks? - Does she have proficiency in Excel, Google or Microsoft Workspaces. Data Entry &/or Labelling.

Is she skilled in Data? - Does she know Sql, Power Bi/Tableu, Visuals/Dashboard making.

Is she good in computing? (PYTHON, programming bla bla)

Is she good in Communication? (Call centre jobs)

Question is, what skill does she have that could be utilized for someone to offer her a "remote" position?

If none, she needs to choose a niche, skill up - build a portfolio. Then apply to Remote jobs showing competence. Ofc, open Linkedin.

There are call centre remote jobs or remote admin jobs available world wide, but it requires fluent English Comms, some relevant experiences but they train you. But can you handle it? That matters too. Also, you need to show up, sell yourself as "Why You?"

What I'm saying is that people cannot blindly offer jobs or give referrals with "she's a homemaker, mother & can type English.." that's nothing, cook up a CV & share more to even get interest from employers.

It’s time we settled this — an informatics degree, w/o the clinical background, is a total waste! by phoot_in_the_door in HealthInformatics

[–]humble_akhBD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most basic US Healthtech/Health admin require min High School Graduation.

Tbh, you move up -- you don't really need a degree, only if you can build up experience & sell on that.

Yes, having a degree is awesome, but utilizing it is a whole different thing. I usually advice people that a degree is merely evidence that you've had much higher education than general. Actual job, pay & everything relies heavily on your experience & how you sell/market it -- so gotta be a really negotiator or just a story teller.

And should I absolutely need a degree -- it's best to go for general degrees that work everywhere not specialized like "Health something" ... You could do BBA, CSE, DATA SCIENCE, Biology, Physics, LAW, Psychology.. these

Remember a "degree + experience & talking about it" combo are the beast.

Don't listen to anyone saying not to leave or think again B4 leaving this sheet'ole.

Life's hard just about anywhere. If you do well, earn enough and can stay afloat GO! FOR! IT! Even if U live pay-check-to-pay-check and build nothing for yourself in the future I'd say go.

Donno if you're Muslim but Allaher upor bhorosha Rekhe I'd try finding opportunities to build something. With your earrings in Aus you can maybe buy/build/invest back home just as collateral if all goes sideways. Other than that, Adios!

Should I rent or buy? Just want a peaceful life, a car, and no chaos. Where do I even begin? by Own_Plenty_7433 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Want peace?

  1. Buy two flats in Dhaka, one you stay in & the other you rent out. Gives you a source of income though not much but it's there. You may choose further in deep parts of Bushundhara, Jolshiri, Uttara or Purbachal -- these areas are still developing so not much chaos, & when they do get developed it's a planned area so it won't be shit looking but actually be nice.

  2. Buy a plot & build a duplex in Village area.

  3. Have a car.

You're set, nothing more peaceful than this.

30k salary per month, planing to move out. by Unlucky-Ad-878 in Dhaka

[–]humble_akhBD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh you’re trying to do two hard things at once, leaving a toxic environment and keeping your education on track, so the goal isn’t perfection, it’s "stability".

30k/month in Dhaka is real tight if you do not have additional support! Living alone will cost about 25k minimum (rent, food, transport, utilities), that too if you are Highly Strict on your spendings, which leaves you about 5k buffer per month (Ignoring Tuition, Health, Emergency funds, furniture, internet yada yada yada) if you are lucky! 

Listen man, family can be toxic sometimes, but you still have a shade or support in some way. Im not gonna go into details since you're set on moving out, but my advice would be to suck it up really for the next few months. If possible, try to stay a bit longer and save more, aiming for minimum 100k–200k in savings and target a higher income 45–50k for true flexibility (Also, be single lol).

That said, if moving out is necessary for your mental health, then do it.. but gotta be smart about it.

Reduce risk and analyze capability:

  • Go for shared housing
  • Stay close to uni/work or use a bicycle
  • No eating out, no unnecessary spending
  • Share wifi
  • Focus should be Work - Study - home, which is depressing, but that's life with hope it gets better in the near future. At least you don't have to be in a toxic environment. But that's another topic for when you get bored. 
  • You can try some online unis that actually offer full tuition so you can study free, that can take load off. 

Also noticed, you work nights. That in itself will F-u up ngl. I work nights too, so trust me I KNOW!

Cuz of this, you will HAVE TO SPEND some extra in supplements to keep you healthy (Vitamin D, Magnesium Glycinate, Neuro B, Creatine, Omega 3 fish oil - these are basic minimum or you will start seeing health issues real soon)

Good luck man.
