those of u who have or are moving away to another city, state or country once u get married.. how did u prepare urself for the move? As in emotionally and mentally..
Im not worried about moving overseas to a new place, infact quite excited about the whole thing.. but i keep getting emotional at the thought of leaving my family and friends. I mean, not being able to cuddle up to mum when im down.. or go for drives with my sis.. have witty arguments with my bro.. ai hai, i’ll be so far away.. i wont even be able to make my dad chai..
I don’t know if there is anything you can really do to prepare yourself for this other than making the most of the time you have right now with your family and loved ones.
Knowing that you can go home, just jump on a plane and see your family after a few hours also is a bit comforting. Also, they can visit you too.
It must be hard though. I don’t know how people do it. My mother moved to England by herself in her late teens when she got married. I don’t know how she managed totally on her own, but if our mothers could do it, surely we can do it, right?
hehe i heard its not too bad.. im actually excited about living in a different country.
Mehnaz, yeah thats what ive been telling myself. If our mothers can do it, surely we can too. Plus, im gonna be living with such awesome and caring people that im sure i’ll be ok. Its just this other feeling… of not being around my family anymore.. thats whats making me a bit emotional.
I thought id have to make myself cry on the wedding.. now i know im gonna be bawling my eyes out.. a few days in advance
sadz u moving to abu-dhabi...actually abu dhabi is kinda dead place but dubai is just 1 1/2 hr drive from there...and dubai is a very cool place...i think u wont feel homesick when u go to dubai...it is very exciting place...good luck and best wishes on a start of a new life :)
thanks homer :) yeah hopefully it wont be too bad.. im going into an awesome fam.. so its nice. I just cant get this scary feeling out of me at the moment
hey sadzz been a long time, firstly congrats on ur hone wala marriage, i knew it would happen one day. hmm it will b hard moving away but there will also b alot of excitement and u will adapt, ive just been to sharjah and dubai and if ur going to live there itll be loads of fun i had a great time and if da rest of my family was there i wouldnt mind staying there either. keep in touch x x
same here, its not really hit me. im having my rukhsati in pak and going to stay a few months there with my in laws, and only a week after the rukhsati my family will be flyin back to the UK :( i dont know how to react to this, i mean im upset but i think it will hit me when I will be dropping them off to lahore airport, which is going to be such a weird experience, coz usually im gettin on the aeroplane with my family and saying see ya....but then on the other hand im very excited about starting a new chapter in my life with my sweet hubby inshAllah..........
God I could never imagine life without my mama, papa and dickhead brothers, I just want our cool little aashiyana to stay the way it is maybe with the addition of a few wives.
I'd love to move abroad though with family, somewhere with better weather and less racists, when I was a kid I wanted to move to America but now with this terrorism it would be pretty hostile over there for Muslims, maybe sunny Austrailia or even UAE or Pakistan as long as I can get use to their culture.
