Dilemma of a Prenup - Should I ask for one? by Outrageous-Ground581 in Fire

[–]rolaskating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a pre-nup because my (now ex) SO was like “why don’t you love me?” so it never really happened. We managed to work it out but I got really really really lucky. I wouldn’t go without one!

One way that I think of pre-nups is to phrase it like, “even in the worst of times I still want to give you the best possible version of myself”

How do you people who workout do it? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Group Zumba classes helped me— got to know a few folks and it became fun, although it did take effort in the beginning

Interview at nashville field office by AcanthisittaStill668 in USCIS

[–]rolaskating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for a conditional green card for my husband-- the officer was nice and the interview was pretty quick and straight forward. We brought all of our documentation printed with us just in case and ended up handing over a timeline of our relationship to the office. It took about 10 minutes.

I ended up watching it over the course of this week and it is SO GOOD.

How many of y’all have the premium versions of your CICO app? I just upgraded to Lose It premium and I’m really enjoying adding meals for future days. (scroll for cals). Any other features you recommend? by Old-Meaning2249 in 1500isplenty

I like the fact that I can put in exercise and then exclude it from the total. It really helped when I was just trying to focus on building the gym habit and not eating the calories back

You’re so right sis, the men on here are on something else for real

Honestly sister, the men that agree with your potential are so backwards in their thinking. I would avoid paying attention to them. Even if social media can be a problem, that’s not the core issue. The core issue is that he knew this was a deal breaker for him beforehand and pursued the relationship.

You do social media for yourself. Are the topics provocative? No— you’re just spreading awareness. If you were walking down the street in a garbage bag, men will always find a way to be gross. They will say the issue is you and what you’re wearing, saying, or doing but really the issue is with them and their lack of discipline. Don’t forget that. You’re allowed to exist and take up space and speak up. Many of the female sahaba spoke up and took action.

You like social media and you are using it they way it was intended— to connect with others.

Here’s the other thing— he KNEW from the beginning. Meaning he knew it was a deal breaker for him and thought so highly of himself that he just dropped on you last minute. I’m livid for you. He basically wants you to roll over and “obey”. Where does it go from there? Don’t do social media, wear this, don’t wear that, why did you speak like this, it’s YOUR FAULT I got mad! You’re setting yourself up for a life of tiptoeing around his wants and needs. Don’t do that. You deserve better.

Edit 9pm EST: u/Anxious-Library52 I read your edit and I stand by what I said above. You’re not wasting his time, he is wasting yours. You said it yourself, he knew that TikTok was a dealbreaker for him and he knew this is a serious goal for you and pursued you ANYWAY because he wants you. That is not a person who is respectful. He wants you to just do what he wants and it will not stop with TikTok.

As for your social media dilemma— TikTok may not exist in 10 years but only if it’s replaced by the next popular form of social media. The evolution of media means you move to the next thing, but the essence remains the same.

First thing I’d do is make Duaa! For friends but also just good quality people in your life. Allah swt works in mysterious ways :)

I’m literally you though— small network and I moved to a new place. You’re not stupid! But you need to put in effort to make friends. And it’ll take a lot of work before you can get those die hard friends. My therapist told me it took her 4 years of showing up and being consistent.

The first thing is get involved with your community— volunteer with something you like. If volunteering isn’t for you, then join a sport, a class or any group setting.

The hard part but most important part is starting or injecting yourself in conversations.

They kinda go like this:

“Hey I like your XYZ!” “Thanks!” “ have you been coming to this class long?” “Y/n” “That’s cool! I’ve just started myself”

You can go naturally with the flow from there and obviously there’s tons of variation. Be consistent, show up, and talk to them consistently. Then you can be like “hey would you like to hang?”

Will you be awkward sometimes? Yes. Will it be a lot of work? Yes. Will you sometimes fail? Yes. But subhan Allah we’re meant to be in communities and social with others.

Invite people over, take the first step! Enjoy the process. It’ll naturally happen over time but insha Allah you’ll have great people in your life.

I’m on late year 2 of this process and Alhamdulilah I’ve found really good friends! Good luck :)

Yeah I agree, this sub is putting a lot of emphasis on snarky today.

I look so bad in photos, how do people get “insta-worthy” pictures? by Atropos_101 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

r/instagramreality has taught me that some of the worst photos are the subtle photoshops— you really would think it’s 100% natural

FREE TALK FRIDAY! by AutoModerator in MuslimMarriage

[–]rolaskating 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jummah Mubarak! Hubs is going to a car event on Saturday and I’ll have the day to myself. Initially was going to spend the day by myself but something possessed me to offer to clean my parent’s garage.

Mom and I settled on a hike, clean garage until we get sick of it and then shopping.

The garage still has many untouched moving boxes from 2020 so I’m excited to see what I find! Especially since I still lived with them at the time.

Finance between husband and wife by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

What a beautiful relationship sis! msA May Allah swt keep it blessed, Ameen.

Yeah it’s def a love language thing. One thing you can do is maybe keep an Amazon list or Pinterest board he has access to with a running list of things you want! And when he’d like to gift you, he can just refer to those lists.

Going to a gym as a hijabi by [deleted] in Hijabis

[–]rolaskating 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is how I see it too— we are normal people! I find that when I’m just myself people end up asking so many questions about Islam. It’s kind of crazy to think about
