Re: Too much attention of hubby piss me off badly
He is going through a rough patch in his life and you can make or further break him.
My Fiance has been trying to resettle somewhere out of Pakistan for 5 years now and even after having a job in Karachi in one of the best multi national companies in the world he got two amazing opportunities and after signing the employee contract they went away. Its like haath mein aai huwi chiz chali gai! Let me also mention he doesn't fast, pray or give zakaat but has the purest heart a human can have & has faith in Allah in his heart but is lazy and takes religion for granted. Anyways so my marriage has been on hold for 5 years while on the other hand all my friends got married, relocated to Canada, US, UK, Australia and i was engaged even before they were...all i did was attend their weddings, attend their farewells and answered questions about when is my turn (I dint even have an answer!)
BTW im a very well educated person with a great job in Dubai Mashallah and always had a dream to get transferred to US and work there and live independently for a while..when my fiances thing wasn't working out so many times i thought that did i go wrong somewhere, why is my life stuck like this? cuz i cant go live my dream if i wana get married anytime soon & he on the other hand isn't getting married cuz he is stuck in Pakistan (fyi me & my fiance have a long distance)
This all resulted in me being grumpy, upset, second guessing things and on the other hand he was losing faith in himself every single day. Thing like 'kismat mein nai hai' had become a common discussion and for an ambitious person like me 'kismat' dint mean much and seeing a person who was miserable and self confessed failure was not at all appealing! We were beginning to grow apart..He loves me to death and i did too but i dint know if my future is in right hands.
I did some soul searching when things hit low and decided that no one will love me how this man loves me (my best friends are married to men that should be called dogs, there arnt that many nice men out there!) and i loved him very dearly too!! I realized there are broadly two scenarios how my life could turn out with him:
Best case scenario: I wait more, stay in his life and give it my all to encourage him and motivate him to still keep trying, find jobs with him, discuss market situations and current affairs (ya! my skype chats were newspaper headlines) and when he feels my positive energy in getting this done he gets pumped up too. All this while also feeding him how he should be religiously more active and channel his faith into action. After all this we may just succeed in being together!
Worst case scenario: ill leave my job and shift to Pakistan (the sound of me shifting to pak made him extremely unhappy) but being together at this point mattered more.
One thing was for sure i was NOT going to throw away my relationship because life wasn't turning out to be as i initially planned but i had realized that no ones really does..people have problems inlaws, second wives, cheating husbands etc etc and all i had was a guy who worshiped the ground i walked on having a rough patch in his life. If i cant help and be with him through this what am i here for?
My case hasn't solved yet but my approach is still the '**Best case scenario' **since theni have further suggested that i will continue working in Dubai and call him on husbands visa here but this would mean hell leave his job and come here to find a new one till then ill be supporting the both of us. I'm still trying to deal with how will i deal with the stress of managing a whole household on my income till he gets a job (can be a month or 6 months or more) also how would i present this scenario in front of our family/ friends/colleagues in a way its not embarrassing for me or him cuz if i lie hell feel he fell short somewhere which i don't want to make him feel and if i don't lie i may be a embarrassed as like most people on this forum they'll categorize him as 'biwi ke paise khane wala' and i can't hear that about him!
Sorry my post is long but i thought i should convey a similar experience im living through and my approach on it. I would suggest sit him down and say never to say divorce again and you both work together to solve this situation.
Hope it helps...
Kudos to you. 5 years on waiting to get married and you stuck with the guy even when he was having basically a crisis of faith, self-esteem and unable to fulfill his desires and life. Now you are a woman any man would be proud to call his wife.
Not many women stick by a their man when he is on his knees.
