:crying: Why do family members have to rain on your parade all the time!?! I'm am sooo sick of hearing about all the ignorant things people think up regarding ME men. I don't want to hear anymore how I married a terrorist, I am an extreemist (or just plain niaeve) if I defend my husband, and how I better have given myself an out just in case he turns into the man they all think he is. Really, they hear something bad on teh news and lump all muslims together and ask me why they are all like that :crying: Why can't I just learn to keep my mouth shut??? My family doesn't even know we are married yet and are still telling me that I need to wait until the last possible minute to marry him to give him a chance to show his true colors :rolleyes: Like he would show them in 3 months if he hasn't already.... I am a newly wed, all I want to have at least a week or two of pretending like people are actually happy for us. I just makes it hard to enjoy being together when all of this came out of the woodwork. I'm not looking forward to my parent's visit next week...

Sorry to pitch a fit on the daily thread, just needed to get it out.

well, PB, I know this won't make you feel any better, but Iam not pretending when I say that I am happy for you and your husband. (L)

You did a wise thing by not telling them you are already married. It's best to keep it to yourself until you know the time is right to make the announcement. It's your life and only you can live it.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

a huge part of me wishes i never told my family the truth about our visa journey and that we are married! i think it would have made things easier (and maybe them kinder to my husband). i'm tired of hearing it all also and its put a huge damper on what was supposed to be a happy time in our lives.

Happy Saturday everybody. :)

For those who are sick, I hope you get better soon. Being sick isn't so great in general but being sick on holidays and weekends always seemed worse to me.

I found this picture when I was searching for an image using Google's image search. And, I was searching for the word January. Go figure!

Anyways, I thought it was too funny not to share. How awesome would this be?? :lol:

Here's the link to the page that it's from.

Allah tries his chosen people through many hardships, but those who persevere through adversity, surrendering themselves before the will of Allah, shall be blessed with a superb reward.

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik

A time will come when the sky is torn apart; when the stars scatter, and the ocean drains away; and when the graves are tossed about, and laid open. At that time every man will be told what he has done, and what he has failed to do; and every woman will be told what she has done, and what she has failed to do.

-Qur'an, Al-Infitar, Surah 82:1-5

I feel your pain. Do you think even ONE member of my family said happy anniversary to me yesterday??? :no:

And I'll never forget Thanksgiving when my brother asked me why the Shia's and the Sunni's in Iraq don't get along. He was just *looking* at me waiting for an answer like I'd freakin' know. lol.

I'm sorry to hear that your family isn't supportive. Give it some time. If that doesn't turn out to be the answer, then there's really nothing you can do. Such a shame when family can't trust their own to make decisions that are right for them.
