Question:
samalalaykum
If I knew what I now know about my wife I wouldn’t be married to her. I would divorce now but we have kids and she’s rich and I have no skills or job. She’s a blessing but she’s always been a curse. (same with me to her no doubt). I always wonder if its our dire past that has prevented me moving forward in life. She really wore me out psychologically. What do I do? Try to be patient and reform my character (as I know I should anyway)? or leave her and make a new start in life and move fowards with a proper relationship, instead of one built on micky-mouse foundations with a typically stupid modern/western-thinking girl? (Ps this site doesn’t automatically send the answers to my email)
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Why do you want to start over? Based on your self-description above, do you think you’re such a good catch? Be thankful for what you have and make the best of it, in-sha-Allah, the future is better than the past.
