Good morning, the narrative of pursuing marriage for the sole intention of “avoiding haram” rather than it being a union of love, respect and mutuality, is incredibly dangerous. It reduces women to objects of temporary sexual satisfaction and fosters the conditions for abuse.
love it when mozlem girls ghost men who are treating them poorly and then 3 weeks later it’s a an engament photo with “and we created you in pairs 💍” with completely different man!! Your telenovelas could never!!

the need to study bc my entire self worth is attached to my gpa and the idea of doing poorly makes me mildly suicidal vs. my anxiety and depression tag teaming to drain me of all my energy and convincing me that this is all a waste of time and I'll achieve nothing
