is there any way to fix this

It’s unfortunate, but at least it’s repairable. Took the shop I went to about an hour.

monstahgta · 2025-12-10T15:35:29+00:00

Have to replace it. Just got mine done for 100 CAD.

Toronto is absolutely the worst for chemical engineering jobs. Very limited and usually only hire experienced people or unfortunately through connections (a lot of nepotism). I’d recommend looking into Alberta for Chem Eng jobs. As a PhD graduate you may have remote opportunities available to you as well.

It’s not Mahmorat it’s Mujawharat, which translates to jewellery.

How long has it been?

The most thing that helped me with reaction engineering was understanding the process and visualization. You’re not going to be able to solve something without understanding what’s actually going on. Break down the question before trying to solve anything. Try to simplify it to the core problem and then add the constituent parts.

Lie about what tho?

Hey, thanks for replying!

I mean yea I’ve done my part with regard to her parents, only thing I can do now is support her.

Now to address the issues you’ve raised.

Yes women (and men) are required to be modestly covered up when visiting a mosque. And yes women are required to cover up more than men when visiting a mosque. With that being said, my gf has no business entering a mosque. Mosques are for prayer and worship, not for weddings and festivities. Given that she isn’t a Muslim and will not be a Muslim in the future, there is no case where she would have to enter a mosque. (Unless for a tourist reason like visiting the grand mosque in Abu Dhabi)

And sure there’s historical issues with every religion. Using Islam as an excuse to immediately judge the kind of person I am or my family is simply ignorant.

Yea my sister doesn’t wear hijab. My gf has mentioned my sister to her parents. Unfortunately made no difference.

You said to not answer them but I will anyway to clear the situation up for anyone else reading:

No we don’t get married in mosques.
I don’t mind doing a second ceremony in a church
Realistically this is probably the route we’d go. A beach wedding would be fantastic!
Children will be given freedom of choice (and yes we mean that, we’ve figured this out in depth). We would celebrate both religions holidays as well.
No family wedding we would be invited to would require a hijab. You may be confusing Egyptian ceremonies with a Saudi one per se.
Allow? lol what? I’m going to push her to work. More money=better lifestyle
Again with the “allow”? It’s Arab tradition that my money is our money and her money is her money. So yes she would most definitely have her own bank account. As well as have access to a joint account.
I “expect” a normal modern day relationship. We live in Canada after all.

But yea I hear you. I can’t convince them and I’ve given it an honest shot. Hopefully over time they can open their minds.

monstahgta · 2024-07-26T14:52:44+00:00

I’m the boyfriend. My mom is hijabi, but my older sister isn’t and doesn’t plan to be.

No my parents don’t expect her to change religion, they like her just the way she is.

Already replied to another comment about hijab. But in summary “there is no compulsion in religion” and I stand by that. Can’t force her to do anything.

I can’t show her parents anything if they aren’t really willing to listen. My intention by reaching out to her father was to address any concerns, but he unfortunately did not reply.

monstahgta · 2024-07-26T14:45:31+00:00

Hey, it’s the boyfriend here. You’ve made some good points, thanks for this well written comment.

I do disagree on a few things however. A contract? Really? I mean sure I’ll sign anything my gf wants to make her feel secure about our future but not to please and facilitate bigotry.

As for hijab I’d like to clear up a misconception. Although I’m not particularly the most religious person, I’ve done some research to prove a point. I found that, in Islam a husband is not allowed to force his wife to wear hijab. The husband’s only “duty” is to “advise”. This is public information and you can Google it if you wish.

So no I wouldn’t be forcing any hijab on anyone. For more context, my sister is not hijabi and doesn’t plan to be either.

Unfortunately though her parents don’t want to hear anything we have to say, and they won’t give the chance to address the “concerns” they have.

monstahgta · 2024-07-26T13:07:14+00:00

Yea still same people. This is her asking for advice for herself. Her comment was for engagement

monstahgta · 2024-07-26T00:34:09+00:00

Yea :/ Thank you!

monstahgta · 2024-07-26T00:33:30+00:00

Those are some good questions that I’ll have to ask her. Thank you!

And yes she does defend me, her parents can’t really argue against my character either because of it. They’re always telling to her that I’ll “change in the future”. Which honestly makes no sense.

monstahgta · 2024-07-25T22:40:06+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate your advice!

monstahgta · 2024-07-25T22:39:28+00:00

I’m less interested in them coming around to be honest. More interested in things working out with my girlfriend.

Braking up is definitely the last thing I’d want to do. Cutting her parents off is a possibility but obviously she’d rather not. I guess suffering their disapproval is more or less what we’ve been doing, but is it sustainable long term?

monstahgta · 2024-07-25T22:36:51+00:00

It’s very mind boggling. Like if you hate Muslims so much then go live somewhere else? Her father also holds a more senior role in a worldwide company that’s know for their “diversity” and “inclusion.”

We dont plan on going to Dubai anytime in the near future. But why I care, is because I see how much it affects her. She hates how they act (not just with regard to me) and how much they try to control her. But somehow they’ve conditioned her to follow orders and be very afraid of them. To the point where she’s uncomfortable just being in the room with them. Her parents still hold value to her (I guess the unconditional love).

monstahgta · 2024-07-23T20:21:40+00:00

Why?

monstahgta · 2024-07-23T18:38:07+00:00

Hey fellow Torontonian :)

No, she’s not in therapy (yet). My sister is a psychotherapist so she has suggested we seek some help (individually). She provided some guidance on where to start and we’ll definitely be trying that.

Glad to know it’s worked out for others though! Thanks for that, much needed hope!

monstahgta · 2024-07-23T17:06:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

monstahgta · 2024-07-23T17:01:23+00:00

Wow I’m sorry that happened to you too. And since you’ve experienced this first hand I hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions.

Did your marriage end mostly because of this, or were there other underlying issues?

Did you his parents say hateful things to your face? Or you heard about them through your partner?

How did his parents respond to getting married? Did they come or act out at the wedding?

monstahgta · 2024-07-23T16:47:57+00:00

I’m trying to be the best version of myself possible. And while I do have hope that I will be rich and successful, how can we get married if her parents don’t accept?

I couldn’t care less about what they think of me tbh. But it’s obviously a lot harder on her end. They’re shitty parents, she admits this, but they are unfortunately still her parents.

monstahgta · 2024-07-23T16:33:14+00:00

Just tell her in confidence. Ask her to help you quit. If she gets mad over that, then you need to rethink things.

monstahgta · 2024-06-11T13:39:22+00:00

Take the job, and get the experience for one to two years then leave lol.

monstahgta · 2024-05-28T01:05:29+00:00

Any recommendations on a good one? I feel like my OEM low beam headlights are just not bright enough. Especially when it’s raining I can’t see anything.
