EP 95 Family won't let me marry my Korean bae

This week on Oversharers, we’re joined by the gorgeous Shahd Batal to unpack THREE dilemmas that had us stressed 😭☕️First up: a woman has been married for 8 years and has just discovered her husband has been LYING about his salary. Meanwhile, she’s been covering the rent, paying for her own holidays, raising THREE kids with him… and every month he somehow makes her feel like SHE’S the reason they have no money?! 🚩Next: imagine finding out the guy you’re dating used to be your sister’s situationship… and now your sister wants him back. 😭 Who gets priority here — sisterhood or your new relationship?And finally: corporate girlies, this one is for you. One woman feels like her colleagues are constantly criticising her, picking at everything she does and making work feel uncomfortable. Are they genuinely giving feedback… or are they just haters? 👀 And how do you deal with workplace bullying without losing your mind?Want more Oversharers?

This week on Oversharers, we’ve got internet drama, secret affairs and a funeral dilemma that had us questioning EVERYTHING 😭First up: the internet has been doing what it does best — investigating 👀 We discuss the woman who created an elaborate online story about completing a two-year degree… only for people to start digging and claim the whole thing was made up. How far is too far when it comes to creating a life online?!Then, imagine your husband admitting he had an affair years ago… and now the woman he was seeing has passed away. He’s grieving and wants to attend her funeral — but during the affair, he told her she was the woman he “couldn’t live without.” 😭 Does his wife let him go, or is that asking WAY too much?!Want more Oversharers?

This week on Oversharers, we’ve got two scenarios that had us questioning EVERYTHING 😭First up: a woman starts getting suspicious about her husband… so she creates a fake account and impersonates a female colleague he worked with 15 YEARS AGO 😭 She messages him to see how he’ll respond and things start getting a little TOO interesting. Does he clock the trap… or does he completely fall for it? 👀📱Then we have a woman dealing with her own sister’s wedding demands after already stepping down as Maid of Honour. She sets one simple boundary around hair and makeup… and suddenly the whole family thinks SHE’S the problem 😭💍The manipulation, the traps, the family drama… there is A LOT to unpack this week. Grab your snacks because the Oversharers courtroom is officially in session. 🎙️😭Want more Oversharers?

This week on Oversharers, we’ve got two dilemmas that genuinely left us SPEECHLESS 😭First up: imagine going through one of the scariest moments of your life — doctors are investigating a possible tumour, you’ve had surgery on your chest for a biopsy — and your husband decides now is the perfect time to compare it to… his vasectomy?! 😭 And somehow, the conversation ends with YOU needing to do more around the house. Sir???Then we have a listener facing a terminal illness who bravely tells her family and friends what’s happening. Everyone’s devastated… well, almost everyone. Because one friend seems VERY concerned about one thing: who’s getting the designer bags when she dies?! 😭👜The audacity levels are at an all-time high this week.

This week, we’re getting into two dilemmas that had us questioning EVERYTHING.First up, a listener finds herself third-wheeling HARD when her married best friend brings her along… only to spend the whole time completely wrapped up in her man. Are there rules to bringing your single friends around your partner, or does she just need to accept the third-wheel life? 😭Then, a listener meets a potential husband online and thinks she may have found the one — but the deeper things get, the more she finds herself questioning whether she actually likes the person she’s becoming around him. Her heart is telling her one thing, her mind is telling her another, and the duas she’s been making might have been answered in a way she wasn’t expecting…Oh, and somehow, another woman ends up in the picture 👀Want more Oversharers?

This week we kick things off by reviewing and dissecting The Odyssey, before chatting about the World Cup and discussing the online backlash surrounding the new Somali film starring Sabrina Elba, where she plays a single mother who falls in love with a Jamaican man.We also react to some of the negative comments we’ve received over the last few episodes and have an honest conversation about criticism, growth and staying true to ourselves.Our first dilemma is from a woman in a long-distance relationship with a man who once agreed to marriage but now seems distant, follows other women online and leaves her questioning whether she’s wasting her time.We then read through a viral post where women share the biggest lessons they’ve learned from past relationships… and the responses are eye-opening.Our second dilemma comes from a wife and mother who feels completely overwhelmed. She’s carrying the mental load of raising children, paying bills, receiving little affection or appreciation from her husband and admits she’s emotionally checked out of the marriage.We wrap up the episode with a reminder that no matter how heavy life feels, Allah is greater than every worry, fear and anxiety we carry.💌 We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.📧 Send us your dilemmas and scenarios: [email protected]🎧 Follow the podcast so you never miss an episode.✨ Join our Patreon for exclusive episodes, bonus content and behind-the-scenes conversations you won’t find anywhere else.
