Tesneem AlkiekHostA lot of questions.
Why does it feel like I, number one, why does it feel like I exist for my husband? Because the way that I hear this Hadith is, snap, you do what I want, and I don't care what you're doing, you come and, and do what I, as the husband, wants.
That's the impression you get, number one.
If you don't do what I want right now-
... you're gonna be cursed all night.
Three, why is intimacy this obligation, like, this robotic, like, response that I have to do? What if I'm just exhausted?
I'm postpartum.
I have kids, I'm working, whatever it is.
What if I just can't or I'm not interested right now? It's a big one.
And I think the fourth big question that comes out of this Hadith is, um, what about my, [laughs] my needs? Like, why is the perspective framed from the man's view where it's like, what he- when he wants it, now we have to, you, we have to respond.
But what about me? What if, what about when I want it? Does that even matter?
Yeah.
So I think these are, like, really big, important questions that we have to discuss, but it, it's, it's going, like, there's so many layered elements to it.
It's not just like, okay, how do we understand this? What does it mean about who I am as a woman? What does it mean about what a husband can expect? And how does that, like, really affect our relationship?
A lot of questions.
