If you do what he says, yes.
Is there any way for you to cut ties, move out, find work and sustain yourself alone?
Either way, i hope things improve for you.
Realistically, no. Unfortunately life is unfair.
Does he know?
Yes.
Is he ok with this situation? Or is he also a victim now?
Yes
Does she know?
There’s no “she”.
Are you trying to escape?
No, I’ve learn to play the game instead.
What’s the game?
Play the part, harvest the benefits and focus on what I love and having a good time.
Can I assume you’re being treated right and your husband is wealthy?
He treats me well if I obey him. You’re right about the second part.
I don’t know if you’re happy. Hopefully you are. Good luck.
You just lost it
At what age were you married? Was it arranged?
- Yes. My parents married me off when they found out. The man knew from the beginning. He took it upon himself to “deal with me”.
Were you raised Muslim? (Not coming from a xenophobic PoV; I myself was raised Muslim)
Yes.
I was thinking of asking this too, but I honestly wasn’t sure how to - especially since I’m not even close to the Middle East and Asia, so I didn’t want to come off as insensitive.
Where are you from? How does it feel to be married to a man?
Pakistan. I’d say the better question is how does it feel to be married to my husband. Answer: it depends. You obey him, it’s fine. You disobey him, not so fine. Very authoritarian. Can’t expect anything less from a man who married me with the goal to “manage me properly”.
That’s pretty bad, do you have any plans to get out of Pakistan?
How did you know you were a lesbian?
I remember watching cartoons as a kid and only paying attention to the princess / girl and imagining myself as the boy (to romance her). Then puberty hit and I realised girls aroused me, not boys.
How are you dealing with the fact that your family doesn’t respect your sexuality?
Not thinking about it.
Are you able to connect with others in your situation or just others from the LGBTQ community in pakistan?
How did you find lemmy? Are you active here? (In fediverse?) Just curious because I’d assume someone would go to reddit before lemmy as it has a much larger community.
How’s the weather?
What goals in life do you have that you can realistically achieve while in this situation?
Run?
Does it weigh more than a pound of butter?
I want to know if it weighs more than a pound of ants
