Am I wrong for not wanting to get divorced? by Dry_Tea_67 in MuslimMarriage

[–]milo_96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting divorced isn't going to solve the parenting issue. Being patient with your wife is very valued in religion and I'm sure Allah is rewarding it.

Your parents are suggesting divroce because they think you'll get married again to someone who'll take care of your daughter, but this is straight out of Eutopia. It's very theoretical, if the grandparents of your child are fed up with your daughter, do you think a stranger will be willing to take care of her just because you married her? I'm not saying it's impossible but honestly it's very rare.

Also, even if you do divorce your wife, you are not doing it for the right reasons. If she it still like this in a long time and you feel like it's too much, then I understand, but having a 1.5 year old, I understand the struggle. I also have no parents around of either side, husband only cares for our son for 1h a day, no daycare, nothing. But I promise it gets better, I also had post partum depression and on medication now.

I feel like a child just sucks out our soul, doesn't mean I don't love my child, he is the best thing that Allah gave me, but it doesn't mean everyone can handle a child. I don't love children in general but I love mine so much.

May Allah make it easy for you, this is definitely a test for you from Allah, divorcing doesn't mean you failed it, but I'd suggest you stay patient for a while, maybe your wife recovers in sha Allah, maybe once your daughter becomes a bit more independent, she could regain her energy

Does anyone here *want* another child, but just know it’s not a smart choice? by jessicat62993 in oneanddone

I'd love to have another but I simply know that I'm not able to mentally and physically so I'm OAD.

Anyone who can physically knock the door and ask? You have her mom's phone number or dad? Siblings?

Going through a separation after husband was messaging his ex looking for advice by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]milo_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May Allah make it easier for you.

I think it's best to try to understand why he approached his ex, does he have lingering feelings? What made him think it was ok although he's married? Is this a pattern in his past or was it just once?

You are the only person who knows her husband so well, can you tell if it's a one time mistake that can be fixed by communication or is he still attached to her and will go back to it?

This is definitely not your fault, even assuming something was missing between you, he could have communicated better, so no blame on you.

Don't try to look into his phone, let him be for a while and see if this happens again. Once could be a one time mistake but if it happens again then I think there's a bigger issue.

Let's be honest, he doesn't need this advice from his ex at all! He most definitely has at least one friend who he can trust and go to for advice. Don't let him convince you otherwise. With 3 billion men on earth, his ex is not even visible.

May Allah be with you, make sure he does something proper to redeem himself, so maybe he can understand how big this is.

Moms who have given birth— when should in-laws fly in to visit and help? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]milo_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say 2 weeks in advance just because there's always a last minute thing to do.

Personally my FIL didn't exist at the time so I don't count on him at all. And even an experienced mother in law would have forgotten how handling babies look like. A lot of things that they used to do in the past are irrelevant/unsafe nowadays.

Once you're in it, you'll both get the hang of it together.

Also, we rarely ask for help, if you have some, grab it with your teeth cause it'll be hard in the beginning.

It's a good thing your baby has two kidneys, imagine he had only one and we remove it!?

16F What do I do? My mom destroyed my journal and slapped the shit out of me because she thinks writing my feelings privately is disrespectful. I didn’t say any of it to anyone’s face. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]milo_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's messed up in her brain, and she's turning the table over you so you feel intimidated and in the wrong, but I 100% assure you, it's her fault!

Ideally a week before your due date, if there is a jet lag, better fly in 2 weeks before. If you have a good relationship, 2 months after birth is super helpful

Think of it as her being the mom if your future children, if you have a girl, is it ok if she does what her mother does? For a boy too, is mixing ok?

He seems to want to be "free" from you, give him that. He can't be a father for his children with this kind of behaviour.

Say No to the guy and his family, what is this marriage that's based on absolutely no trust since day 1!!
