At least when it's in person you can be present and be seen. I have felt at a loss of words hearing about two of my uncle's passing away fairly closely back home. Just feel there has to be better ways to sympathize with the rest of the family. In the US it's easy - flowers and card and the obligation is paid off. Anyways just venting after hearing of my younger uncle passing yesterday.

It's always hard to console someone so you're not alone..what you said you did/do is good enough..the other side is griefing so they're not expected more than a couple of words from you..

My friends think I’m crazy because I’m willing to work all the time / give 110%, but they don’t understand that I need to do well so I can better provide for my family. I’m already making more in a week at 22 years old than my mom makes in a month, and she works way harder than I do. Just wanted to get this off my chest ha. I’m not resentful and I definitely understand the need for self care…but I’m willing to suffer in a high-paying job if it means I can provide for my family. Is this just me?🙂

My marriage is beyond repair I think. Husband just said we keep having the same conversations over and over in the past year about things we’ve been trying to fix. Is a year enough time? 11 years together for reference. And I don’t think his statement is true - he literally mentioned one of those things last week that he was happy about. I just can’t do it with these vague statements in arguments.

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia.

Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
