00:02:23.960So, having six brothers and around men all my life, like, you know, even now when I'm single, I've got so many men friends.
00:02:33.260And there are things in my house, like, if the balcony is changing or that fish thing has broken, I always say, oh, I wish there's a man there or somebody or I call a man to come and do the job.
00:02:47.380And definitely this world can't, you know, work without them.
00:02:53.000And equally, like, you know, for us women, definitely there is like an element of they bring protection, they bring security.
00:03:02.820They are more stronger, which I feel like even in my religion, if you look at Muslim as a religion, we pray behind men.
00:03:11.520And I love that about it because there is a sense of, like, security.
00:04:26.100Oh, a man doesn't need to take care of.
00:04:27.760In fact, in my last relationship, I felt like that's what happened, that he perceived me as so strong that he's just like, you don't need me.
00:04:36.400And I'm like, I do like, but it's just the way positioning of, OK, I have to be responsible for my kids.
00:04:42.600I'm living on my own, you know, that kind of thing.
00:04:46.280And it's it's it's like it's that perception.
00:05:35.140I think what happened and what he shared with me in the end was why he didn't communicate with me from from literally the wedding night is he thought he's bringing a girl from I think he wasn't ready to get married.
00:05:49.300And he was pushed into it because they wanted the younger brother to get married.
00:05:53.460So he married a girl from Pakistan who couldn't even wear it because he wanted me to wear heels to fly back here.
00:06:01.300Like, you know, on my plane journey back and my father in law had the keys for the suitcase and bags and I did go to my father and I said, can I have so I can take the heels out and he said, no, it's all closed.
00:06:13.780So this man, he decided not to talk to me on the whole plane journey.
00:06:19.480And at that time, I realized I'm married a complete stranger.
00:06:22.000He's not even talking to me and I'm going to his country.
00:06:24.620So like in 18, I just thought you didn't have a conversation in 18 years.
00:06:38.460The only reason is the story doesn't make sense.
00:06:41.240But what he told me in the end was his words were, I married a girl from a village and you don't know how to have a conversation is his sentence.
00:06:52.660I don't know what he was dealing with.
00:06:54.240I still think he was he's a great human being because he didn't do anything wrong in the sense of he didn't go and cheated on me.
00:07:01.820He didn't he wasn't a drinker, nothing like that.
00:07:05.360But I think there was a communication gap between us and I wasn't like how I'm talking today.
