Should loners marry?

[Argamemnon]

Just wondering what your opinion is. Do you think people with a loner personality should marry. Would they be good husbands or wives? Could they take care of their children properly? I fall into the category of "loners" :)

Do you think loners will miss out on life, if they chose to live alone their whole life? I mean not having a lifelong companion, never experiencing love and intimacy with the opposite sex etc.. it's easier said than done.

Thread approved.

A loner is no less of a human.

Would they be a good husband or wife? Could they take care of their children properly? I fall into the category of "loners" :)

Why not? And what do you mean by loner?

Loner like the type of person who doesnt venture out of the house for years or loner as in the kinda person who would rather stick to himself? I think marriage would change that though.

Do you think loners will miss out on life, if they chose to live alone their whole life?

Yeh. If you chose to live alone then you'd miss out on the companionship we all crave. Humans are social beings. Well most anyway.

[Argamemnon]

And what do you mean by loner?

Someone who can't/doesn't enjoy social relationships and avoids it most of the time.

I'm one of those who only ventures out of the house when necessary. I have lived like this for years. I suppose this makes me a super loner...

AssalamuAlaykum,

I know this is kind of going off-topic but is there a reason you dont enjoy social relationships? Since when have you been like that and how difficult would it be for you to go and spend the whole day with somebody else. Would it make you anxious/uncomfortable etc?

WassalamuAlaykum

what a brilliant thread :ooh:

Wa alaykum Salam,

Quite difficult, I was always anxious and shy. Perhaps I'm sick in the head.

why not i don't see a relation between be good husband and your personality as a loner do you know why because every one will be social person when it's necessary in my opinion marrage will help you to get out from "loner category". i know somebody who don't talk very much or you even can say he barely talk (i mean he is not a social person) and he got married , have kids and his life i think much better than others that they aren't loners.

but even though it's possible to marry you should change your look toward your self as a loner because just like my sis Amatul Wadud said: "Humans are social beings " .

peace

normal thing i feel anxious and shy when i talk to people but when i use to them i feel comfortable and talk to them as i talk to my family approximately.

Perhaps I'm sick in the head

you shouldn't think like that it's normal.

peace

Greetings and peace be with you Argamemnon;

You might think of yourself as anxious and shy, but I bet you are a caring and kind person. Generally a wife would not let you be shy and would keep talking to you. If you had children they would demand so much of your time and energy, that you will have no time to be shy and anxious.

In the spirit of praying for the courage to go out one more time.

You're not 'sick in the head bro' :)

Hi Eric,

A beautiful post, thank you!

[Zahida]

:sl: Yes Eric i agree with you too............ you said the most wisest thing....
InshaAllah our brother will find a blushing bride soon. Ameen:w::)

[Ansariyah]

Whenver u hear a bad thought in ur head telling u a negative thought replace it wit a good one.

Thats the start...

Secondly, u are no loner, u make some of the most intelligent posts on this forum.

Don't become ur worst enemy akhi. If you only were not so hard on urself, maybe, u wud see who u are. MashaAllah.

Peace and greetings be with you dear Eric :)

I appreciate your optimism, I really do, however, currently I'm considering electroschock therapy. This should give you an idea about the severity of my mental state... I've been dealing with this illness since 2001 dear Eric.

[Argamemnon]

I'd like you to answer the question insha'Allah.

I think I answered your question sister, albeit briefly.

You're not 'sick in the head bro' :)

How would you know sister?

[Re.TiReD]

How would you know sister?

I understand you answered it, sometimes it requires deep thought though. What would it do to your system if you was to go out? Before you try your electroshock therapy, how about you try a technique called flooding. Here's an example of flooding: locking a person who is afraid of spiders into a room full of spiders.

Force yourself out, see the worst that could happen.

And I dont think you're sick in the head because from what I've seen your posts are intelligent and coherent and that you seem to be asking for advice and support is commendable in itself, Masha'Allah!

[Faith.]

AssalamuAlaykum,
Seems you are troubled bro...
Yu need to find contentment within yourself first Akhee
Insha'Allah Allah eases all your troubles...
Your in my dua's..

I have to say, I agree with what sis' Amatul Wadud said here. Give it a go, what have you got to lose?

[TrueStranger]

That is an interesting question. I don’t think a person should remain single simply because he/she is a loner. Hopefully, if you marry a person whom you love, then you would enjoy their company. But I am wondering if a person who loves someone else should get married simply because they can’t marry the person they love and eventually they have to get married.

of course...but i think they should marry someone whose on the same level and/or atleast understand them...otherwise if they marry someone too outgoing and social, i think it maybe a little awkward and possibly cause a little tension in the relationship...

[IbnAbdulHakim]

being a loner and being married is like an oxymoron.

unless you mean you hardly hang out with friends and see family pretty much all the time etc, because if thats a loner then im a lone-wolf !


anyway bro, i think a loner wife would be perfect for me ! lol !



Assalamu Alaikum

[Cabdullahi]

a loner wife sounds good...

[Leyla73]

a loner wife sounds good...

Cause you could trust her? Cause you know she'll never go out and do bad things? lol

[Leyla73]

Oh, and to answer to your question, Argamemnon, I think that if you find a person you love, and that loves you, and understands you, then you should. I know couples that don't like having friends over, and are friends with like just one family or something =)

[Cabdullahi]

Cause you could trust her? Cause you know she'll never go out and do bad things? lol

No because there's a bigger chance she will be down to earth and.... its better for the pair(husband and wife) to be together alone and secluded...with the exception of both their family members being there and one or two good muslim mates...............but if she is associated with a swarm of gossip hungry women who influence and tell porkies... then forget it.....

[Leyla73]

Yeah, you're right

[Cabdullahi]

It’s only for the good....trust me....in that way both the husband and wife can really understand each other, love each other and care for one another without any evil interference and distractions :)

I wasn't being optomistic when I said you are a kind and a caring person, I sincerely believe that to be true.

however, currently I'm considering electroschock therapy. This should give you an idea about the severity of my mental state... I've been dealing with this illness since 2001 dear Eric

This world is a duanting place to live, and I will keep you in my prayers. I do believe you can overcome this, you do not have to believe me, you just need to believe in yourself.

This is powerful, you need to search and try and understand how it works.

Greetings and peace be with you Argamemnon; I hope you are getting through today.

Have you ever thought about doing a part time voluntary job, there are all kinds advertised in the UK, in hospitals, nursing homes, day centres, charity shops, etc.

It seems to have wonderful things going for it, people who need voluntary help often have problems and you have to talk to them about the help they need. There are often a lot of women working in those kind of jobs, and of course you are helping others. There may well be Islamic places that need volunteers.

Often with voluntary jobs there is less pressure on you to produce lots of results, and it might be easier for you to socialise. Doing voluntary work often goes down well with future employers.

And you have to go out the house too.:)
