Farah: Awww, that's the worst. Honestly, get a night guard. I don't have full-blown TMJ issues, but my nightguard has really helped with the grinding.

Heba: No, it wasn't inappropriate. And you looked pretty.

Everybody else:

My parents don't want me getting married until I'm done at least my undergrad either and their reasoning is that getting married while you're in school is distracting. A couple of married people I know though say it helps them focus more. *shrug*

As for your husband paying your tuition fees... I guess that's okay if he can afford it. Why not, right? I mean, if you're sharing all your money anyway, then why wouldn't this be a shared cost too? Makes more sense than you getting a loan.

at the same time, she is just coming off of birth control pills, so maybe that could have to do with it.

for the record, this is NOT one of those "i have a friend..." stories where the friend is actually the teller of the anecdote. astaghfirullah.

No, not really. Severe cramps are not a sign of pregnancy, at least not a good one (ie not a good sign if you are pregnant, pregnant + severe cramps = bad). Sometimes you can get cramping before your period, sometimes you get it mid cycle when you ovulate. She might be developing an ovarian cyst, those hurt like crazy sometimes. If she thinks she's pregnant, she should get a test ASAP so she can decide what she wants to do while all her options are still open.

the other day i was on the phone with 3 other friends of mine..two are newly married, one is engaged to be married in the summer.. we all grew up together ish. we periodically do conference calls to catch up etc..usually there're two other married ones who're part of it but they werent available at the time..

anyway..i just felt so freaking awkward. the majority of them are still in school and stuff, but i felt like the entire conversation..its premise was to discuss married or to be married life..and everytime i talked abotu somethign school related, i got what i would translate in real life as a BLANK STARE. silence. no one cares if the conversation isnt about husband/fiance/inlaws/clothes/wedding halls/wedding things/babies/birth control

and i just felt like such an outcast. and hurt? this has been happening for a while but i thought it was in my head..but now im just like, i dont like feeling this awkward tension..and every so often theyd try extra hard to ask questions abotu my lack of a love life..like, what the hell. i dont know.

i love them all to death but i just felt like telling everyone to buzz off.


i feel like bawling cuz i feel so distant from all my friends.

i sound like such a sensitive freak

Aww sally, I know how you feel. A couple of years ago when one of my friends got engaged aaaaalllll she talked about was her fiance and getting married and blah blah blah. The rest of the gang was still single at the time but we all got pretty fed up with it. Even while she was hosting us like at her house or something, she would be on the phone with her fiance and ya... so since then I made a promise to myself to not talk about marriage 24/7 with my single friends because I know how annoying it can be. We still talk about school and stuff

But on a more practical note, maybe you can gear the conversation towards where everyone is happy.. like stuff about shopping, hair styles/stuff, boys in general, or umm ya... but if they're in school you would think that they can still talk about school I dunno...

Wow.. uhh that's weird. And I'm sorry that they've become like that. No wonder one of my roommates says that married people are weird, boring, fun-less people. I like to think that I'm not boring like that and I'm still in school too! At least I hope I'm not like that inshallah. My goal is to be a cool married person, not a boring one

[Laimuun]

hi ladies. I miss fph chats.
