Navigating love and faith as a new Muslimah
Salam everyone, this is tough for me to share, but here it goes. I became Muslim about 7–8 months ago, and before that, I was in a relationship with a Christian man for two years. As I reverted, I kept learning slowly and stayed with him. But during Ramadan this year, while praying and fasting, it hit me: a marriage really can't thrive if a wife is growing in her deen and her husband isn’t supporting her spiritually, you know? Plus, I knew it’s generally not permitted in Islam. So, I ended things, and honestly, it’s been really hard. It makes me wrestle with doubts-why does it have to be this difficult? We had a healthy bond, and sometimes I wonder if I should have stayed, and how I’ll get through this. Any advice or support would mean a lot.
