I was engaged to a closeted gay Malay Muslim man, and he left me two mobths before our wedding. There, I said it. Fuh, feels to good to finally say it (or rather, type it). Nobody from my side know he's gay. From his side, they have some ideas. But y'know, this is Malaysia-
"Hoes hit the wall and then panic and marry a simp." "All men are porn brained." "Women only want 6 foot/6 figures." "Every attractive man has at least 5 women on the hook."
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Life is too rich and beautiful and complex to fit inside your mutilating little boxes.
@omgsidewalks Till the moment you die,you'll forever be a product of your environment. Some behaviors shed,some don't. You might change environment but your thinking will always be influenced by where you come from.
Pernah denger ceramah seorang Muslim scholar dari UK yang membahas rasionalisasi perintah hijab dgn sudut pandang yg menurut gue jauh lebih presisi secara teologis.
He said that it’s clear bahwa tujuan utama hijab bkn untuk membantu laki2 mengontrol hawa nafsunya.
@Iamivy05 Mental health issues are real, but they don’t erase personal responsibility. Struggle explains behavior it doesn’t excuse avoiding growth, effort, or accountability.
To the anon, I don't know the details of your life, but your feelings are valid. If that man is treating you well, take some time to reflect his kindness to you. Jangan jadi macam I. Bodoh baghal terima je segala keburukan dia. Baiknya ada, tapi transactional.
Previously, someone asked me if I would accept a man who've had sex outside marriage a.k.a. zina (context: me myself is a virgin & celibate Muslim). I answered, yes. As long as he's repented & he wasn't proud of it. Fate has it, my ex fiancé confessed that he had sex before.
@Cr7Godbrand And for the context hat people
She took care of British Crimea war veterans, and watched wives and girlfriend completely abandon men who had proudly served their country and suffered severe injuries doing it, because it wasn't convenient to have a crippled husband
Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) the founder of modern nursing:
“Women crave for being loved, not for loving. They scream out at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable of giving any in return, for they cannot state a fact accurately to another, nor can that other woman attend to it accurately enough for it to become information. Now is not all this the result of want of sympathy?
I am sick with indignation at what wives and mothers will do of the most shocking selfishness. And people call it all maternal or conjugal affection, and think it pretty to say so. No, no, let each person tell the truth from their own experience.
They really don’t have sympathy or the ability to empathize, because they are always judging everyone and every thing as a product on a social value scale that relates to their own egos and bounces off of themselves. There is no capability for genuine feeling.
This is what I have experienced with women, there is no capability for genuine feeling for other humans, or really in general, except when those feelings are for themselves and the other people are just proxies to bounce ideas off of.”
— From Florence Nightingale on Women, Medicine, Midwifery and Prostitution: Collected Works of Florence Nightingale, Volume 8.
Nowadays what is left is sadness for myself, and anger & disgust for him. Tweeting here usually make the voices goes down for a while, so I guess I'll be doing this a lot.
Ah sedih. I sit with him through his mood swings, his distancing phases, teman pergi kerja, teman pergi klinik, bayarkan klinik, book Grab, belanja makan, accompany him sampai rumah, pastu balik naik lrt sendiri, all those while he's not speaking to me at all.
dia buang aku macam sampah, so that he can feel good about himself. Nasib baik I went to extreme depression on the beginning, so I dont have the energy to run back to him. I went crazy now, but fortunately just mild schizo, not crazy FOR HIM. Eww. Disgusting.
