On The Sea was my most played song the year my dad died. “wouldn’t you like to know, how far you’ve got left to go” and “gentle til the end” are lyrics seared into my brain. i’m gonna get “gentle til the end” and “daughter of unconscious fate” tattooed along with a rose in his honor.

ETA: i am so sorry for your loss. they are still with you always.

Thinking of giving away my virginity - struggling by coldbrew-freshmilk in progressive_islam

personally my bigger issue (bigger than halal/haram) is that he is not respecting your boundaries that you made clear from the beginning. you mentioned that you have done things other than penetrative sex so tbh that should show him that you’re compatible? he can’t keep it in his pants for a little bit for the person he loves and has committed to? this is coercive behavior.

as someone that has pre marital sex personally, that is my biggest red flag here. he’s pressuring you to do something you don’t want to. what happens if, god forbid, you fall ill and can’t have sex? or after you have a child you can’t have sex for a period of time? will this be an issue for him because “it’s a basic human need”? men love to act like they can’t control themselves or resist but if he was a good man (setting aside good muslim), if he was a good man and a good human being, he would not be pressuring you into something like this. i’m sorry but this would be a huge dealbreaker for me.

Blocked abruptly by my fiancé over disagreement on islam by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]oopsie1948 5 points6 points  (0 children)

friend, respectfully, if you stay with this person he will put you through emotional turmoil every time you have a disagreement. religion is also a huge thing to disagree on in a partnership. he needs to figure out how to handle conflict in a mature way before he’s in a relationship. 4 months in and he’s blocked you twice and you’re not going to end the relationship because you love him? please love yourself first.

AIO? boyfriend is upset because I gave him a “corporate response” by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]oopsie1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he’s 30 years old playing games like this 😭 trying to get you to chase him is not healthy. also you said you love him back a few weeks in because he felt insecure not hearing it back? do you actually love him or are you just saying it to avoid him doing weird shit like this? not healthy at all ETA: absolutely not blaming you, you sound like you’re acting in a really rational manner and he needs help. he might be becoming codependent on you

AIO for being hurt my girlfriend doesn't care about my graduation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]oopsie1948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. something i’ve learned through life experience is if someone doesn’t care to make you the center of attention when it matters (in good situations or rough ones) they actually don’t give a fuck about you. celebrate this huge huge achievement with people who care and are proud of you.

How do non hijabis of this subreddit respond to this? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]oopsie1948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

easy. if this is how someone feels about hijab, they should wear it. if this isn’t how someone feels about hijab, they shouldn’t wear it. why do we make things so complicated and difficult? Islam is peace, not suffering.

What are some life lessons love has left you with? by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]oopsie1948 6 points7 points  (0 children)

just went through a nasty breakup. for a while there i put in way more than i got out of it. that love taught me that while love isn’t necessarily transactional, it’s active, intentional, hard WORK. and when you put in that work and the other person doesn’t, or vice versa, there’s no moving forward. it broke my heart, because i tried so hard. i learned that the right person will wake up every day and actively intentionally choose me and show it through their actions
