muge samjho please!!! sawab miliga!!

guppies i am really anxious at the moment, In a couple of weeks i will be meeting my fiance’s siblings. Speaking SACHE DIL SE… im really nervous, my fiance is in his surgery residency currently mA, his brother and sister are already surgeons. To be honest im very intimidated, Im finishing up my bachlors im only 21 and even though i do very well Allhumdulilah i feel as if the siblings will say something because they are married doctors and their brother chose me. I am planning on doing my Masters in Public health Adminstration. I have not met them thats why im feeling this way. Moneywise my family owns mutiple business and are well off mA but i feel as if money doesnt play a part as much as Education does in their eyes. I could be just making all this up in my head since i havent met them

Guppies how do i calm myself down and not feel intimidated please help karo

Honeyah, what's the faida/benefit in getting so worked up when you don't even know his siblings yet? You're getting stressed out over assumptions which may even turn out to be false, and this stress is not going to help you.

So, instead, why don't you focus on the POSITIVES that you DO KNOW about....as opposed to dwelling on negative guesswork. This guy CHOSE you.....so he saw something amazing about you.....enough to consider MARRYING you. That's a pretty huge decision/deal. He obviously was impressed enough to want to spend the rest of his life with you. And therefore he must have told his family GOOD things about you. And even if his siblings do have reservations/doubts about..........at the same time they also have positive points about you (which they heard from their brother) in their minds as well. So, think about this.

You're educated. You're not a surgeon....BUT....you're still getting your Master's Degree in a field that's related to the medical profession. So, don't feel self-conscious about not being a surgeon yourself. Differences make things exciting. Too much similarity can make for boredom. And I think the guy himself realizes that as well. Another positive point-of-view to consider.

His family is OPEN to meeting you. It's not one of those situations where the guy tells his family about a girl he likes......and the entire family rejects the girl WITHOUT even meeting the her......let alone talking to her family over the phone. There have been cases of such closed-mindedness. This is not the case with you.....his family is open/willing to meet you. Something else to reflect over.

So what if your parents make a living through business? Businesses help toward the growth of the economy. They're not doing anything illegal. Contributed toward raising you. Be proud of it. Again, I'm sure his family already knows these details about your family....and they haven't shot you down for this particular detail....cuz like I said, they're willing to meet you.

Be polite, courteous...answer their questions...also make the effort to talk to them. Be yourself...the person the guy fell in love with. Maybe tell your BF that you feel a bit nervous meeting his parents....and perhaps discuss a few of your fears with him. He could calm you down...reassure you....in the process you could learn a little bit about his family. You'll be fine. Pray to Allah to do what is best for you.

I wouldn't be nervous. You'll have a good solid 400-500,000 coming into your household.

Kick back and start planning to visit top-line designers in Pakistan for your wedding dress.

And yes, there is sarcasm in that, but what can I say. Enjoy your fate.

I wouldn't be nervous. I would be grinning like a cheshire cat that you'll be hitting it big at 21.

You've done it all baby.

there must have been something exceptional in you which had made his brother chose you. If you are really intimidated by the fact that they are ewll educated then try to RE-THINK that those well educated people CHOSE YOU :) .. thats enough to build your confidence! .. .. .. ..

btw - there is one more important thing above education and its .. PERSONALITY. be confident and you are good to go!

Re: muge samjho please!!! sawab miliga!!

Coming from a family of where education is of paramount importance--all of us graduated in the top of our classes, got into med school, and are residents, or soon to be residents- I sometimes envied my sister in law, who right now is in a similar position as you...Why? because she seemed to have it all made, and I am still trudging through my 20s in this endless addictive competition in being the best in school, to get into the best residency, so that I can get into best fellowship, and on and on, while at the same trying really hard not to be the type of women who at the end, all she has is accolades and money, but no husband or children to share it with. It unsettled me because it seemed so unfair...I, a very middle glass girl, would have never even THOUGHT about marrying a doctor, until now that I have achieved something. And here came my sister-in-law from a background similar to yours, with a fate similar to yours.

It took me awhile to come to the realization that you cannot fight with Allah swt, he gives to whom he wills- sometimes it's in the form of capabilities, and other times a good husband.

My point is Give thanks what Allah has given you. The grass is always greener on the other side, and thus there's no reason to dwell on what others have, or don't have

. At the same time I say, be like my sister-in-law, she's beautiful inside and out, recognized our hard road of ambition and competition we chose to travel, and celebrated my brothers and my achievements like only a sister can. Truly exemplary, and I only pray that when I become wife and SIL inshallah, I am like her.

lol.. your life :hehe: ..
