So many replies! Thanks for the welcome, everyone.
Did you know that your lady has been here for a while?
Really? *opens random online fiqh database in another window and searches for the term: "+wife +disobedient +punishment"*
In fact Pariah is the one who told me about CEM, which is why I'm here!
... & where you're from?
I'm a Londoner, born and bred.
Unfortuantely for me, I realized that once I had come to the conclusion that Islam was NOT the truth it pretty much spelt the end of my marriage to my lovely, but VERY Muslim husband. I just couldn't keep up the pretense anymore myself.
Sorry to hear that. I hope that with freedom you'll also find happiness in the future.
... I'd be interested in hearing more about your story, your doubts, how you and your wife worked it out, how you withdrew from the muslim community.
I'll come back to expand on these as a way of adding a little more colour to my story. I didn't realise people would be so interested.
