Asalam alai kum wa rehma tulla hai wa barakato.
I genuinely need to ask this because I'm starting to wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing and how do you still hold onto hope while feeling somewhat deflected and losing hope.

As a single mum who's worked hard to build a successful career, why does that seem to intimidate or irritate some men? Especially the pakistani men, sorry I know generalising here!!!

I recently decided to give someone a chance. Similar age, but he said to me you are well educated with a fabulous career and my children are also career orientated. We exchanged numbers, things started well, and arranged to meet. When I messaged to confirm, if we were still meeting, he told me he'd taken an antihistamine that knocked him out. Fair enough, life happens, so I was happy to reschedule.

But as we got to know each other, there were little things I couldn't ignore. Every now and then he'd raise his voice, talk over me, and dismiss what I was saying. I let it slide because nobody is perfect.

Then he started criticising my career.
I explained that I'm fortunate enough to have a job I love and the flexibility to work remotely when needed. Instead of being happy for me, he seemed determined to turn it into something negative.

That was the moment I realised I deserved better.

Today I deleted the marriage app. Not because I've given up on marriage, but because I'm tired of feeling like I have to apologise for my achievements.

I honestly thought being financially independent, having a stable career, raising my children, and having the flexibility to prioritise family would be qualities someone would value.
To be clear, this isn't about every Pakistani man, or every Uber driver, that was his profession and I was happy for him. There are many decent, hardworking men, and one person's behaviour doesn't represent an entire community or profession. This is simply about my own experience with a few individuals.

Has anyone else found that confidence, independence, or career success can sometimes attract insecurity instead of support?

I'm still making dua that Allah blesses me with a righteous husband who celebrates my successes, just as I'll celebrate his.
Marriage should be a partnership, not a competition.

Dear womans !
Woman with purpose is more attractive than a woman waiting for attention. Build yourself. The right people will notice.
