    My hubby has plenty of space, he work till 5pm thereafter he starts gaming then watches you tube videos till 10pm and then I’m asleep all my efforts for 9 yrs have been brushed away, so I can’t do it to please Allah,sorry as it will be a lie & I do not lie or fake feelings but I’ll be civil

  2. Naasiha Jamal

    9 yrs…I give him the same treatment. Why must my heart hurt only we can’t start couples therapy until we start our own therapy,separately.

    Wa alaykhum salam sister, very good sermon but after getting empowered about Narcissist abuse, over the years, I’m afraid this sermon doesn’t resonate with Narcissist, when we talk about Narcissism. Thank you.

    How often do you think you need counseling when you have these problems that you’re talking about and you are separated he lives one place and you’re living another place tonight he went to the movies I talk to him he said he was going 00 you should’ve mentioned something I would like to go on with you but he didn’t say nothing and I said of that’s OK if I we have a date I don’t wanna fight over it he needs to get his do you wanna call it I know I’ve been shooting him for 40 years I’ve never ever cheated on my husband I’ve always been a good wife I work with him he’s a doctor family practice I met him before he became a doctor he didn’t become a doctor to lose 40 years old and I should be signed him and work with him as his nurse receptionist cleaning lady whatever it took plus took care of our two children plus then I had cancer two times in the last 15 years and they kind of changed me a little bit but I’m getting back into the swing of things I feel I’ve lost a lot of weight my body is gotten better looking I look good in clothes I’m thinking about myself right now because I do have to gain some weight back when we separated I was 130 now I’m 94 I’m eating but I’m not gaining and he’s been really good around he’s been helping me at all because in January I had an accident but I don’t think he still wants to come back yet keeping him away I don’t know what it is maybe‘s afraid to come home I don’t know but we’re supposed to go back to family Counseling this month I need to call and make an appointment but I don’t feel an hour a week is going to help us I think we need more time together to show each other that much we do care for each other and love each other if I feel I love him still even though he’s did some things that were not right it hurt my heart very much after all these years being with him and going and doing what I was supposed to do as a wife but I’m willing to try I’m 73 now Vince with him for 40 years we have two children boy and a girl 36 and 39 what are your feelings about this I sent him your tapes but he I said you should your experience in this field and you want to keep marriages together

    You’re not feeding him.

  25. Maryum Taqdees

    All the points are valid and I would practice them definitely but I know many women who’s husbands started being cold to them when they had their babies , which is the hardest time in a woman’s life ( also hard for men but more so for women physically and psychologically) so they don’t have the energy and ability to manage their spouses and the marriage breaks, which is so relatable and understandable for women.

    Sometimes when you give space and respect, that becomes the norm and you end up like two strangers in one home.

Where can I find a kind of a library of her videos? Wud it be in her facebook page? I love her inspirational videos. She is such a blessing to the ummah!
