Now I don’t want my husband to be a loner there and stop talking to his friends. All I want him to do is learn the boundaries around them. And not do anything that can have impact on his deen and our marriage. I have tried to talk to him about my feelings. But he doesn’t want to change or understand my side. What can I do at this point?
Answer
Your husband works in a Western country, and when he is there, his manners are questionable. Free-mixing and clubs, just occasional prayers and vulgar jokes with his friends.
What can you do?
You were engaged for five years. Did you know about his double lifestyle?
We should not expect that marriage will solve or stop unrighteous behavior. That has to do more with self-discipline and one’s own commitment to the deen.
You don’t want to live this way, and you don’t want your husband to live this way either. What could your husband do to distance himself from a haram lifestyle?
List down the good things and manners he has, as well as the ones you are concerned about. Talk to him and ask who he really is and wants to be.
