Hubs and I struggled with infertility for years. Met this aunty after 5 years of marriage, and the literal first thing she asked was, "so, no kids?" (Bachay nahee huye?)
I gave her my standard reply "when Allah swt wills" (jab Allah ki marzi)
She replied "well, if you didn't force your will in these matters then it would've happened"
(agar apni marzi nahee chalati to ho jatay"

.....
I've now been married 12 years but I never forgot what she said to me.

Another brown aunty to me "if you let me touch me your belly you'll get pregnant. I have the magic touch. Whoever's belly I touch gets pregnant instantly"
When I declined her very generous offer, she tried to come up behind me to reach my belly. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Several aunties - How I’ll never get married because I looked older than I was (as a balding man in his late 20s) and women didn’t like uncle-looking men. Already was insecure (but not to the point of fully shaving) and that just killed me.

I’m now happily married to a wonderful person who absolutely adores me (as do I to her)

Yesterday my mom was on the phone with her bestie and her bestie is like you should get married so I can visit your parents and it’s like dude you can come if you want, you don’t need a bs excuse and then she proceeded to tell me marriage doesn’t require any money and kept on her bs rant over this bs instead of focusing on her own personal life and personal children- last week / she was complaining about my cousins and my aunts and their parenting styles - it’s like it’s Ramadan - why do you have so much free time to talk about other people instead of praying. Like do these women have nothing better to do with their lives?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
