I pray Allah bless me to state what is right.
YES, Sister I totally agree, I being a Brother try to talk with other brothers and I myself had to get some counseling and advice a few times during my marriage and islamic life.
I will also agree it is not always easy for me and others to sit in a group and talk about our wives or our own personal weaknesses, but rest assured when we really need to discuss things we do.
***Al-hamdu'llah, I have a very good and loving wife, masha'llah, the talks I've had were all my own weaknesses, masha'llah.
so, yes, I agree with you 100%, after all we are only men, subject to mistakes, but you have to admit with the emotional hormones that the female have it's alot less stressful for us, because we don't have to deal with the ups and downs as often as you all do.
At times the brothers wanted to extend lots of help for you sisiters, because alot of women are in the homes, unable to get out and about like us brothers. We are able to go out for at least Fajr, Isha, and Juma, so we do have time and access to counseling more so.
So, if it isn't Allah's Will for us to have a forum, it's ok just the same.
May Allah (swt) help us all...amin!
As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmantu'llah
