My wife weaponizes intimacy to get her way, nearly every single day. We’ve been married for 3 years and every time we get into an argument, regardless of whose right, I know she will deny any approach for sex. When I really need it, I end up begging her and she blackmails me to accepting I was in the wrong, even when I don’t believe I was. If I touch her to initiate, she leaps away from away like have some disease. This has happened more times than I can remember and it is starting to become ...

Porn, I’m more than addicted to it, I’m on the dark side of desire. There’s no other way of putting it. I’ve been married 4 years now with 2 children. I will be honest with you, sex with the misses is just not it. I feel so low on my iman which lead me into this.

We’ve been married for two years and we have two children together. I work full time and she is a stay at home mum, looking after our children. Before the kids arrived, we were ordering on average twice a week, but that has now more than doubled as there is more stress and responsibilities on her...

Me and my future husband are getting married soon and everything has been going smoothly. Until the topic of Mahr came up. I’m from a middle class family and alhamdulilah both my parents have done well financially. I don’t work but I studied business at university. To be honest, I grew up always just wanting to get married before 30 and having an amazing wedding and having my own little family. I really like my husband to be. He is an established banker but he is simply not shifting his opini...
