Im a little apalled...

I recently ran into an acquaintance of mine from school. Its been years since we chatted and the last time I saw him, he was getting married. This woman was the best thing since sliced bread. She was Pakistani American, educated, professional, beautiful, born and raised in the US, loved him like mad woman and even left her home in the US and relocated to Pakistan for him - a country she had never set foot in. She lived with him and his mother in their home in Islamabad. Apparently, she did everything for him…ironed his clothes, cooked for him, shined his shoes, made his chai, etc. Her love was so intense, it was a rarity. He had never seen a woman more in love with her husband.

They are now divorced. Her only mistake: she and her mother in law didnt get along. His mother said “mein tumhare ghar mein nahin rehpaungi, isko chordo” and he made a choice…he chose his mother.

These arent my words, they’re his.

Comments?

his loss

Re: Im a little apalled...

Sad sad sad sad . :(

Just wondering if there is some other version of this story . But still in Pakistani society its good enough reason .

Re: Im a little apalled...

Nomi, the funny thing is this story is coming from the guy...Ive never even met his ex-wife.

He admitted his wife's love and adoration. He also admitted to divorcing her because of his mother...and feels it was justified.

Astagfaar :smack:

Allah he maaf karay .

This is heart-breaking. He will realize what he lost and then it just might be too late to apologize or do anything about it. May Allah (swt) keep her strong to get through whatever she may be feeling and/or going through. Ameen.

Re: Im a little apalled...

This really saddens me :( Baychaari... whoever she is......

this is more than a little apalling for me :(

Re: Im a little apalled...

intense love... sounds scary...

Re: Im a little apalled...

What a loser...parents need to learn to let go, and stop causing problems!!

Re: Im a little apalled...

i'm scared.
where is the compassion?
this world has ceased to make sense to me.

Oh... I didn't read the post stating that he thought it was justified. Oops.. Sorry.

I don't know what to say... I'm speechless.

Re: Im a little apalled...

Moron could not manage between two women he loved.

Re: Im a little apalled...

im more than apalled as well....this is really sad...and im actually very angry at the guy for being so under his moms thumb. he should be smart to realize that if his mother is not giving a justified reason to give the girl divorce, then he shudnt do it. i mean, his own words are that she loves him dearly, has sacrificed her country of birth, moved all the way, does so much work for him etc etc ....and STILL he didnt see that? i feel sorry for the girl....she married such a blind guy.....May Allah give her strength through this difficult time..

Re: Im a little apalled...

The good one was not good enough!
Is he looking for a 'you know what' woman now?

By the way, how come these kind of mothers so common on this billboard? Never seen or met in real life! I mean never! Something more needs to be revealed by him if he is really truthful. He might be blaming his mother for something he wanted to do.

where on earth you get such women - please share the secret :)

On a serious note - Wrong decision made - its not a matter of life or death - where you can only save one ! what a nipper

I know its hard to serve two women but it aint that nithered either

Re: Im a little apalled...

learning from my own experience I have realised that people have forgotten about Allah. They boast about their religion and fears from Allah but they never actually do fear Him.....Qoul aur Fail main bahat farq hai . PSQ the real life story that u have written is yet another example that people have become so ignorant. I feel so sad for that lady I hope and pray she finds something good in future.

I don't understand how these mother in laws and husband sleep peacefully after destroying someone's life. Believe me when such a thing happens to a girl the whole family suffers its just not an individual suffering.

I feel the same!

Re: Im a little apalled...

Why is this shocking? I've seen cases like this before.

Ridiculous Pakistani men. They go around touting their mardangi and I ask you where is there manhood?

Re: Im a little apalled...

ah thats heart breaking! what the heck was the MIL's prob
