Can a wife be “too much”?
Salam wa alaikum,
I just had my nikkah yesterday, and our wedding is in a few months inshaAllah. Today I spent the day with my husband, and I really didn’t want to leave when it was time to say goodbye 😭 I just loved spending time with him.
Now I miss him so much already and can’t wait to see him again lol. Everything is very new to me, and I think I’m also just adjusting to the fact that he’s actually my husband now. At the same time, I’m worried about coming across as “too much” or overly attached. He’s busy with work and family, and I obviously want to respect that, but I genuinely just want to spend more time with him, hug him and be with him.
I believe this is normal in the beginning after nikkah but how do you balance wanting to be close to your spouse without feeling like you’re overwhelming them?
