Family introduced us, “courted” & she popped the question.

5years later, happily married, a toddler & another one on the way.

Our advice, be open to all options and be flexible. Most importantly, have tawakkal!

No luck yet, but probably cause I’m young (24M) and girls my age are looking for someone older and girls younger I feel like I have maturity gap with. Additionally, It’s just hard finding someone that pushes you to become better and join you on the journey. However, dating apps I don’t think are the move - it’s too much like window shopping

I slid in my future wife’s DMs!
Who would’ve thought!

Need some honest advice:
My husband and I come from different parts of India. They speak a local language while my family speaks Hindi. They can speak little bit of Hindi and English too, not great but basic stuff. My husband and his family keeps insisting that I learn their language. I have learnt the basics and can understand it but not conversational. I have also not been putting in enough effort because I am not fully bought in. This has created a wedge between us which I don’t know (contd.)

He made me feel that I am not good enough shortly after we became together. We would travel together and he would not want to kiss or do anything intimate except pecks on the lips bec “it’s not classy in public”,but he did nothing in private.

What is the best way to attract a new mate? I got out of a 7 year relationship (he was cheating on me for half of it) and I’m so confused on where to even start. I have a therapist and working on my trust issues - but I have self confidence issues. I’ve been burned for being ‘unattractive’. But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?
