Is Esophageal Dilation a good permanent treatment for people who suffer from food stuck in the esophageal area?

I am 24, and I always felt I was grasping for air when I eat dry food / some type of food. I always have to have a water bottle beside me otherwise I always feel food stuck in the esophageal area causing me pain and trouble breathing.

I just became aware of a surgery so to speak, where it apparently fixes this problem permanentely, anyone with knowledge on this or had this treated using this technique?

How common is a small wedding with not many people invited + no music?

I am Palestinian and we have the habit of having extravagent weddings where there is music and dancing and inviting every person you know and dont know.

i hate this, i dont want to invite even some relatives that i dont like or feel like i am close to, why spend soo much money on this stuff just for some people to come and talk about your or your spouse?

I am actually worried about this topic when I go to meet her family, should I mention this the first time we meet, that I am not doing a big wedding?

How does a man know if he is ready for marriage?

Male, have been thinking of starting to look for a wife inshAllah, but how do I know if I am ready?

I will present my life as short as possible, and you can dictate and advice me:

- I live in Canada, my family are in the middle east in GCC, I am planning to leave Canada early next year to start my life over there inshAllah

- I have a canadian yearly amount of salary saved, had more but lost it investing in crypto, trying to move on from it and learned my lesson of impulsiveness

- All my life, I have been known to be impulsive and not take crap from people, meaning someone messes with my family, religion, or disrespect me I fight immediately. Alhamdulilah I have improved alot lately, and planning to keep improving

- I sometimes suffer from sleep insomnia, and it started after my family left me alone in Canada, and found my mind racing over multiple things I have to do.

- I pray all my prayers on time, sometimes fajr I miss because of laziness so I end up not waking up. other religious duties, not as good, I do bare minimum, only fast Ramadan, give zakat, and sadaqah here and there. When it comes to sunnah prayers, adhkar, etc I am really away from it and its sad, but I literally can not, while living the life I am living here in Canada, everything is fast paced.

- I am left handed, I stuggle to eat with my right, unless its with a spoon I keep reminding myself.

- I never had relationships with women, alot of my friends go out with them, and encourage me, but I have weird chest pain when I think about haram relationships.

- I struggle with lowering gaze, mostly because I have no one around, and after work I got nothing to do, so scrolling on social media to kill time.

Only thing I want my wife to have is the following:

- she is religious (and religious more than me, even better if Quran hafiz. I want a marriage where both of us help each other elevate in good deeds), a clean past, hijabi, skinny. dont care too much about looks.

based on what I wrote does this seem mature from me to proceed?

Men with flat stomach, how do you keep it that way?

I guess this is more targeted for men who are average to heavier side, rather than skinny.

I am 24, 5'10" and 170lbs yet my stomach isnt flat, I have fat all around, even though i eat healthy (no junk food or soft drinks or alcohol).

I sit in office for 9 hours a day and just lay down after work for the whole day unless I am going to gym.

I do workout like 3 times a week at the gym, full body workouts, and overall happy with my build until it comes to my stomach that isnt flat, and I am somewhat insecure to walk top less at the beach because of it.

Any advice on giving a woman a massage as part of foreplay?

24m, need to spice things up and start learning how to give her a nice sexy massage, my friends back in high school days used to pay me for massaging their traps and shoulder 😅, but I actually want to translate that to women now. Tips I am looking for:

  1. Areas to focus on more

  2. How long should massaging each area be? How long should total session length be?

  3. Should I use oil?

  4. How to grip with my hands on her body?

Thanks!

Men who got married to your dream muslim wife, what is your secret/advice?

Salam, I am 25m, and I am somewhat religious though I want an extremely religious wife, which I am finding somewhat hypocritical, since she probably deserves someone more religious.

I only pray my 5 prayers, fast ramadan, and give zakat, thats basically it, I dont do anything extra, its sad, but this is mostly my power because of the environment in the west and how everything is fast-paced, and my chase for making money.

my requirements is for her to be hijabi, prays her prayers, lowers gaze (which I dont always do sadly), patient (which I also am not, I get into lots of arguments/fights in public).

sorry it may seem like a rant, but I actually want advice on whether I am being a hyprocite by wanting a somewhat perfect muslim wife when I just do the minimum, part of this is because I believe I can become a better one if someone holds my hands in this journey, and it worked when I went back to the middle east and had good people around me, even here in Canada my religious friends had good impact on me before they left, now I am left with no one around.
