Re: i am sad and hurt..

No, she probably did not bash him to his face. But by what she has written, it also doesn't seem that she showed any appreciation either. And if she's like most women I know.....her facial expression/general attitude was a clear indication of how she felt. I actually feel sorry for the husband! It must be difficult for him to work all day...and then come to her....a wife who nags him about little things and also lets him know that his money isn't enough for her (ie. referring back to her previous post about buying furniture). He tells her to visit her family for 2 months and she takes that negatively.....he picks up food for her and her guest (even adds her fav. food) and she thinks he has some ulterior motive.........I mean seriously....when does HE get a break? Why should he do anything nice for her if she's always going to think he has some hidden motive behind simple acts?

Re: i am sad and hurt..

cute ainee: I think both of you need to understand each other.
I completely get your frustration and boredom - I'd be tearing my hair out if i had to depend on someone to take me out!
But your husband is out all day working and is in no mood to come shopping in the evening. I get that too.

Why don't you work out a schedule where he can relax and get some time off and also take you around on shopping, socializing etc. He needs to understand your situation and the fact that its not your fault that you're dependent on him. Pick one day of the week where the evening is yours to plan. He gets the rest of the work week to relax. That way he doesn''t get annoyed every time you ask him to take you somewhere. You can always do fun stuff on weekends or Fridays, whatever day off you get in saudi.
You should also work out a schedule for yourself .. what do other women there do? Can you join a hobby class or meet up with friends?

Re: i am sad and hurt..

if only all parents would come here and read this message… :sigh:

Cute Ainee are u very pretty or beautiful ? Do u feel you are entitled to special treatment? Even if this is the case he will go gaga over you for a little while. You have to do your share in the relationship. That's a good sign if he wants to appear like a good husband in front if others. Showiness is not good all the time but it shows tha t he values his image in front of your relatives.

Re: i am sad and hurt..

Just take the word 'i' out of your life and concentrate on 'we' - everything would be alright then.

Re: i am sad and hurt..

good idea!

cute ainee

I don't think you're trying at all. You're whining and that never gets people anywhere.

The fact that he is letting you go to Pak is a big deal for that long. Most don't really allow their wives to leave their homes for such extended periods of time especially in the beginning.

Just give your marriage its due time...stop stressing him out and you in the process.

Be nice to him...it doesn't hurt to be nice to someone...especially your husband.

Re: i am sad and hurt..

Sis, you're not really being patient. If we gets angry, then just let it be. Unless, it's something really important, then try to let it go. I mean, what's more valuable to you, keeping your marriage happy or going to this event? You're going to have to learn to give up a lot of things from here on. InshaAllah.

Some of the replies are very harsh, by the way. I mean, if we can't give proper advice, then it's better not to say anything. Getting angry at her on a Forum isn't going to help her situation at all. She's more likely to listen to us if we go about it the right way, being calm and all. InshaAllah.

Re: i am sad and hurt..

And my friend told me that they have started to be lax on women driving around.

Re: i am sad and hurt..

Her name clearly states she is CUTE! :halo:

Re: i am sad and hurt..

may be she wants her husband to call her cute but he doesn’t so…

Re: i am sad and hurt..

well thank u all for ur advices....what i got, most of the people here suggested that i should socialize or go out only on weekends otherwise i should be happy staying at home and find some "hobby" for myself and i don't know what that "hobby" should be...cooking or cleaning or dusting or watching tv..what hobbies do u people have when u stay at home?
