As someone who moved to London 3 months ago, I've really struggled to meet and make Muslim friends. Any tips? Where do you all hang out, network, etc.

Look for events, activity groups on Facebook or a WhatsApp group that organizes meetups

Join the EY Muslim Community, if you haven't already. Most events are virtual but these really helped when I moved to London.

If events are virtual, how have you managed to make connections that you hang out with outside of work?

If you are a sister, I am happy to connect and invite you to sisters' communities that I'm part of

I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month.
