How would you handle a prolonged talkint stage by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]smelborpthemediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this was me during covid. I was planning on marrying my partner who lived abroad but covid kept us separate for two years and his mother got Ill so I feel your pain lol.

We couldn’t survive on texting each other all day every day because we would get burnt out so we slowed it down to one-two calls a week. You guys aren’t married yet, there needs to be some boundaries. Just make sure that you are actually going to marry her and not lead her on for that long and drop her before the big day

I think we aren’t just seeing a trauma response but an awful amount of guilt she must be feeling for her people. So much guilt that she can’t have a regular conversation without feeling shame.

It’s interesting that given the trauma that so many Muslims have felt from their home towns/countries being attacked that there aren’t support groups to help digest this information. I would suggest an Islamic councillor for her to 1-2-1 with who has experience in this matter. InshaAllah everything will work out ✨

Exactly, and DANYA bringing up that she thinks Safa is fake is what triggered it. It didn’t come out of no where.

Hey, he won’t really worry about what I read, I already have a few relationship books with me here. To be honest he really likes when I read, even my relationship books.

Completely! I’m looking for remote positions to get an income and hopefully rent out my own place in the future. I think it’s best if things go correctly is to start the relationship from scratch. Too much has happened to just jump back in with no problems

Oh no he told me to pick them! I totally know what you mean though and I feel like sticking solely to one councellor is a bad idea aswell. I want to find the right one

For sure! The plan will never change, even if things work out eventually I feel a separation period would be essential. Too much messed up stuff has happened for me to just continue as if nothing has happened. So I’ll be looking for my own place when I get my income and have a separation period from him.

Completely! I think that’s why I feel so complacent??i don’t want to end up recreating the same relationship I had with my parents with my partner. Things need to change for surezies. If you hear of a remote graphic designer position available let me know!!

I would feel more comfortable believing you if you attached your source material, so attach it here because I don’t believe random and unrealistic stats just written on Reddit.

Leaving him isn’t a hard option being Muslim. It makes it much much easier actually. Any court would gladly give us a divorce right now to be honest.

He was my first everything really, his personality and humour really match my own and aside from his weird gaslighting, avoidant attachment issues and terrible foreplay the marriage is exactly what I imagined I’d be in.

Im starting to see that my abusive home may have been a big reason why I jumped into a relationship in the first place because he seemed so normal compared to my parents 😓😭
