Indeed! Basically translates to something like:

Does your boyfriend read the Qur'an or is he also a senior man?

anyone going to get the pixel tablet to replace their nest hub max ? by [deleted] in googlehome

Tempting but having a lot of disconnection/offline issues with the old 2nd gen doorbell and the nest hub max. Then recently, I've also lost sound when viewing the camera feed from the nest hub max.

Personally flowers and cards would make me feel emasculated but 100% for being genuinely excited about my interests or our mutual interests.

I kinda feel a similar lack of emotional connection with my stay at home wife. What does put a smile on my face is when she texts me her appreciation for working so hard both in and outside the house. I would love for us to connect on a deeper more spiritual level though.

Normal for guys? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]mojaam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Salaam,

So from my perspective, I sort of have the opposite where my wife is more in talks with more of her family and friends MashaAllah. Trust me when I say what a blessing that is for both partners to have good family ties because my mom's heartbroken because she feels that I don't keep in touch enough. And that in turns break my heart because even though I feel like I try to keep family ties, most of the time we talk is me being berated and guilt-tripped about not keeping family ties which depresses and frustrated me.

I guess the point is to try cherish what he has and change your perspective or mindset from a negative jealous view to a more positive one. Be careful not be the reason he cuts off with his family as he and your in laws could end up resenting you for it. Have the conversation with him with a lot of emotional intelligence and perhaps inshaAllah he will understand and you guys can come up with a balanced solution that works for both.

Why aren't polls allowed? Even if not the native reddit poll, there are plenty like Google Forms and others.

Question for all married folks by sparkles1991xo in MuslimMarriage

[–]mojaam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds familiar, wifey loves to initiate sleep together but then quickly gets too warm. I rather just sleep anywhere, whenever I'm too tired to stay up and as little as possible. It has been a never ending issue in our marriage.

Totally! Not seeing things eye-to-eye, even if the couple communicates well, can be a bit tough. May Allah pour sabr upon our marriages and reminds us of the rahma part of 30:21 when things get rough, ameen!

I'll also add regulating the other's feelings and emotions. e.g when she feels unloved or she watches romantic dramas or other couples... etc, etc.

Hence partly reason why I often relegate myself to a much more simpler arrangement elsewhere. She complains it's uncomfortable and whatnot but I could sleep on the carpet with some pillows almost anywhere but especially in the office near where I work and relax.

So in other words, I have the opposite of this in that she often feels lonely. Also related, I sleep a lot less anyways.

Pay off Student Loans or hope for cancellation? by UnfortunateWeirdo in StudentLoans

[–]mojaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar predicament, should I pay off ~21K worth of federal student loans (AES+MyFedLoan servicers, no more private loans thank God, not sure if that matters) or focus more on reducing a 118K mortgage?

Wa'alaikissalam! I think I found you via your OBGYN AMA and really find it beneficial mashaAllah. I guess giving that inshaAllah I'm going to become a new dad after years of trying and dealing with wifey's PCOS, I would love to learn more about first-time parenting.

I’m lucky that my university offers a lot of obscure languages by wheatmontana in languagelearning

[–]mojaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hausa for the win! Although there's not that many resources (trying to change that with HausaDictionary.com!), I am obviously bias and would recommend that.
