my mum says same thing. she is adamant the guy i marry, we have a long engagement and get to know each other properly, and the family gets to know each other before we get married.

makes sense to me and my family

BUT what scares me is that thats what that girl did too for FIVE bloody years

how could she have not clocked what he's really like Cray 2

he was possibly tryna lure her for 5 years, and in the process, concealing his true self?

why, i dont know

so does the fault lie in him being so clever

or the girl being so naive and blinded in love?

God knows

but personally...I think I would have clocked what a person is REALLY like after being with them for five years

who wouldnt?

true

the fault lies with both

but sumtymz u cant blame her - depends on how good the guy was

OR

if he changed for sum reason

which is a possibility - could have joined some Caveman organisations....and The End for the wife as we know it

surely he wasnt like that all the time

i mean maybe he changed

a friend of mine said he knows a couple, they were together through uni, then got married when they left.

were happy together, have children. been married for 10 years and he now beats her. she took the kids and i think is planning to get a divorce.

he wasnt like that when they started seeing each other, but gradually changed over time.

Fizzy dont depress me any further Cray 2

we've been with that girls family all evening

u think u know someone but u dont-

Maybe I will be happier living on my own with 50 cats :?

lol

what you gotta remember is that there are happy marriages as well

but the messed up ones always seem to stick out more for some reason

marriage - you make it what it is IMO, but sometimes theres things outta your hands true.....but its all a test of character

im going to tell you a story. are you sitting comfortably???

there was one girl who wanted to marry a guy. he considered himself religious, and likened himself to the Taliban, make of that what you will.

anyway the family did not approve. she was adamant she wd marry him.

when they went to set the date, he was foul and rude to her uncle, who was much respected.

the family had second thoughts about him, they didnt want some one so disrespectful in their family.

she ran away that nite, stayed with a friend and said she wd not come home until they promised to get them married.

silly girl you may say, after what he was like to her family, but the family agreed as they were afraid she may not come back and may do something shameful.

begrudgingly they let them get married.

after marriage the son in law continued to cause problems for the family, wd follow the sister home, poured paint stripper over her car three times, argued with her father and gave him a black eye, police were also involved.

they now have a child and both families have started talking again, but still distant with him.

moral of the story?? sometimes the family can see that the person is bad for you/for the family, but the person getting married can be stubborn and refuse to see it.

lol

i thawt there was gonna be a twist or sumfin!!

thats jus plain stupid on both sides

such people i guess deserve each other Lol

the above girl's sister on the other hand liked a guy, but didnt want to say anything to parents because of what they had already been through.

anyway told them, families met, got on really well, they left it a while before they got engaged so they cd get to know each other. then had a long engagement, year and a half.

then got married. happy together, thank god and are now expecting their first child. he tries extra hard with her parents to make up for their other son in law.

it works both ways, but best to have family's approval and not to rush into anything.

LilSis what do you mean, "the guy's family was beating on her (as well as the guy)"

These things aren't doing wonders for my anger restraint.

Sad

Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

Through cheating, stealing, and lying, one may get required results but finally one becomes

but u know whats shocking-this girl dating her fiancee for about 5 years

both parents knew-

parents had decided to wed them when they both finish Uni

...and after FIVE odd years of dating the girl didnt know that her man was capable of raising his hands

guys she wasnt dating him :roll:

so, who do we believe - lilsis or.... lilsis? Blum 3 Wink

5 years is outrageous for an engagement. it just gets silly, wot u DO or DONT know about the person just gets mixed up after that long a time - say the girl fell for him in the first 6 months, so if she was in lurve from then on she would overlook any bad changes in his character.

true, it is too long

but what about those who get engaged before they start studying, then agree to marry when they have finished?

how long is acceptable?

IMO you should get married quickly after engagement.

Do all the searching before you get engaged.

When its time to get married, get engaged, and very quickly married.

Its a bad idea keeping someone in tow for years. People will chagne, the situations will change, and you know what asian families are like. Engaged is as good as married. I something goes wrong, there will still be hell to pay, so why set up for a fall? Get over and done with it.

well said. i agree.

i agree

but sometimes it may be a good idea to get them engaged before they go to uni, then they are less likely to misbehave.

or do you think im wrong?

They will be just as likely to misbehave IMO.

But will try to keep it under wraps a bit more.

If they are engaged, why not get over and done with it in a timely manner?

u can call it "dating" or "getting to know him with parents blessings"

the reason they never got married ASAP was cos they were both doing their GCSE parents wanted both to graduate first

shudnt be falling for next mans if you aint gonna marry em and make em happy.

things happen unintentionally, BUT meeting another person could also be the best thing happenin even if its ONLY for a short time

whats the best present u can give to your husband? anyone

speaking as a man, the best present my wife could give me is to love me more than any1 else (not including ALLAH & Rasul salallahu alayhi wa sallam).

Her marrying me and loving me more than any1 else would be the best gift. Followed by chastity and loyalty to me. Nothing more. Not food or washing or ironing. Love and loyalty.

That girl’s story made my heart feel heavy. It’s terrifying the ordeal that some people have to go through.

I was just speaking to my parents…they were telling me about the importance of tolerance, Sabr and compromise.

I don’t know..

The thing is, girls in this country have been brought up in a very pampered, loving way. They’ve been treated like “princesses” by their fathers. So, obviously for such girls it’s so hard to tolerate being treated like crap by others…

Part of the solution is to live separately… sometimes people get along a lot better if they don’t live under one roof. Top scholars have also recommended this.

Its so dangerous to be deluded in love. Love really IS blind. It makes one oblivious to the faults of their beloved...if someone criticises their love, that individual is quick to jump in their defence..and thats WRONG....I really don't understand how one can get to "know" someone for so many years and still be oblivious to their faults...

Anyways, I’m babbling here. All I cant say is the importance of character and deen in a partner can not be emphasised enough. I think there was a hadith (I’m paraphrasing here) which basically said to marry someone with good character and deen…so that even if he dislikes/hates her he will never be cruel to her.

IMO the girl was blinded in love

she overlooked too many flaws

she spent five years loved up instead of actually getting to know what that guy is like, what he expects from her etc

its impossible for me to beleive that u can be close to someone for so many years and not know the person

its possible lilsis its also possible to go through you're whole life and not know your partner - it's called delusion.

ever heard of those women or men that live all their lives with one person and when the person dies or one significant event happens then they find out he she has been living another complete different life ie like having a wife somewhere else or committing crimes?

Sometimes you can be married to a person for a few years and then things go wrong. Not because you never knew the person but because ppl change it's a natural part of life. We mature, we get new tastes, we have new ambitions. And if the other partner doesn't change or wants to remain the same then the problems can begin.

i mean you can't expect for you or your husband to be the same person you were from 22 to 32, time changes ppl. If you learn to grow together. Compromise, keep the lines of communication open that helps. Most relationships break down coz ppl stop talking, and if they do talk they just yell at each other.
