I love my husband we are newly married this year. He is very religious and so am I but he has some rules that I know a lot of girls would have problems with, but I try to comply but it makes me wonder if me doubting his rules is the problem, or the rule is valid.
So I moved to his city an hour away from mine I’m a lawyer but currently not working, applying to jobs though which is totally fine with my husband. I wear hijab abaya don’t post pics of me etc all that my husband pushed me to be more modest (which I like about him he made me open my eyes to the logic of our deen & modesty)
Anyway he established that no stepping out of the house for any reason. If I want to go anywhere, I have to wait for him to come back from work. Like this morning at 9 am I saw bakery that’s six minute walk away from our place and he’s at work I asked if I can go he said no. Library, coffee shops groceries not allowed etc.,
His reasoning is he doesn’t want me wandering about well he is not there, guys will approach me & it will also be fitnah for me too being in a new city he doesn’t wanna put me in a position where I’m tempted & end of the day Islamically can’t go out without mehram
He’s the best husband ever so I have been very compliant I don’t argue I know his intentions aren’t wrong, so every day while he’s at work, I just stay at home waiting for him to come back.
Is this normal rules ? Does it get more lenient more years of marriage go by?
