Awww yes of course we all are like brothers and sister
I do understand what your wife is going through. According to me you shouldn't have lied to her about the status, God forbid if she doesn't get ppr anytime soon then she will start stressing again which is worst. Cause when you expect something and you don't get it.. it hurts more than not expecting. Like when my status changed to "in process" I was so stressed that why isn't my husband getting ppr.
Well noW that you already lied to her.. May Allah(swt) have mercy on you and May she get ppr very soon!!
But please khan bro, don't lie to your wife..!!!!!! I know you lied to make her feel better because you love her and you cant see her upset but try to make her understand in a different way.. Allah (swt) knows best. We are human being we don't know better than Almighty. You never know what is the reason behind this, you are not the only one. We all are going through this torture.. sometimes when I get really upset I feel like it's a torture to get married to someone in back home. But when I think about it in general that I am not the only one, then I feel much better. And trust me Allah(swt) will reward us for this long process because RasulAllah SAWW has mentioned that for a human being waiting is harder than dying.. So of course, Allah(swt) will give us all good future and will reunite as soon!!! INSHALLAH
My deepest prayers with you khan BRO!!!
