I SECOND THAT! Especially this part --> Long distance relationship and that too when you are newly married (and just getting to know each other as a couple for arranged marriages) this is my case and i he hasnt been able to visit me after nikah, its been 13 months now. It is so so hard. and the part about family expectations, and the most annoying part is when friends and relatives keep nagging you about your current situation and when will u be finally wedded in the proper islamic way (rukhsati) and join ur husband. In the beginning it was not that annoying but people keep asking you as if doubting your marriage altogether, this is too much on top of the emotional stress you experience in your marriage, and you are missing out on soo much. This only ends up in frustration and anger, right now all directed at cic ofcourse : @ but it takes quite a toll at your marriage too sometimes especially when its new!
