After conversion I rushed into a marriage with an Algerian brother. I married him somewhat unwillingly but wanted to please others who were pressuring me to accept. We got married in Algeria and consumated it there. Later, I returned to the US to file for his visa but there were too many problems and we decided to get a divorce before he had a chance to join me here in the US.This is where it gets confusing: I was recently contacted by the former brother and he said he never actually filed the paperwork and he wanted to go forth with it now.

Wanting to get married [without parents knowledge] (2)

My question is: I am Ahmadi and my boyfriend is Sunni. I have tried speaking to my parents about the fact that seeing Imran and talking to him is against Islam and that I do not want to sin further and if there is any possibility to get nikah done now. My parents however replied that in order for me and him to get married he will have to become Ahamdi. Since this is something we can not do can we get our Nikah done without our Parents knowing?

My husband has online relations with other women (6)

I need advice and help, I feel so alone and confused. I met my husband online 4 years ago, a few times over the time we met I discovered he was talking online to females and joining wierd fetish groups for sexual relief. I would discover many times what he did, but I new deep down he is a good man and I stood by him believeing him every time he said sorry and that he had done tawba over his mistakes.

I find myself asking what I’m doing wrong. It’s not the obvious reason where people will say I dont give him sex, as I’m always the one asking and waiting for it. He is always tired because of work and when we do finally have sex he just jumps in the bath and wants to eat, whereas I want to lay down and cuddle and talk.
