Hi pasrah,

I truly sympathized and shared my concern with your issue. Love, obligations, commitment, financial etc... It's commplicated , hence I could forsee such difficulty by each day passing...but stay positive and strong ok :)

From my personal opinion, I feel your husband has not be able to fullfil the obligation as a husband, both emotionally and spiritually. I feel that in long term run , your family ties and social friens may be pressurizing and depressing your entire marriage and relationship, day by day.

It's best, if you both come to common terms, and hire/consult a marriage councellor. Or a neutral party/arbiter from the family ties, but must be a trusted from a both and neutral side. I do feel there may be a need to re-evaluate and discuss the huge issues/problems in your marriage together as a couple. In such times, it helps to re-kindle the trust, love and commitment you all have before.

Please do not feel let down. Try not putting all the blame on yourself or him. Something has went wrong in marriage obviously, and to solve it requires a need of self reflection, and discuss time by time with each other :) Have a strong heart insha-Allah...and do look forward in your life positively...

Hi pasrah,

Divorse is a tough decision to make, so by now I hope you are serious on such issue of the matter. This is important, that if you have any half hearted-feelings on this matter, do NOT assume divorse as a solution.

No, it's not a sin in Islam regarding divorse. But, Quran emphasizes in many places in Quran (2:232) (2:236) (2:237)(33:49) to settle such divorce in the most respectable manner and equitable terms, not by hatred or dispute. Many divorce couples got into a huge mess after divorce happens, so it's good that you consider these problems now to this posts. To be frank to you; divorce is a huge issue with long term complication risk, so be strong, insha-Allah. Keep your prayers and hearts open to God and opportunities, and do not let yourself down. :)

I've also noticed you have somehow avoided your family circles in this issue. Can I take it that they do not agree with your points on this issue, or do not wish to partake in your problems ? Remember to consult the councellor frm sharia on divorce terms and after divorce issue/rights. They will give a more comprehensive detail on children and inheritance rights/issues, so, PLEASE..., take deeper into the details okay, pasrah ?

I wish you the best and strength in your future ahead. Stay strong and in your life and prayers k? Keep in touch with people or social circles around you, do not take it all personal. Not everyone human is an angel, but there is always someone out there who is willing to listen or help, remeber that.. :) Bless you (Salaam)

Hm..concerning the business part, I hope you are well aware of the needs and risks of opening up business. Not to be nosy, but you bring yourself up to look forward and ahead when it's time. Running away from problem, or forgetting is the easiest, but always reckless. Face the issue no matter how hard or the least you can try; it's the most painful; so most important of all.

At this time, you should be tring to recover from the emotional issues you are experiencing now and then. It may take time to recover, so maybe if counceller would help, try to communicate/seek advise with people who had faced the same issue as yours before.

Be strong... :)
