I recommend for you to first read the short story, "A Modern Love Letter" by Nawal El Saadawi first before reading my poem. However, you may understand my poem either way, even if you do not read her short story first. 
Overall this poem describes the intense feelings of the narrator who finds herself torn between either listening to her deep love for her husband or fulfilling her true desire of freedom from society's beliefs of what the role of men and women should be.  Women oppression was a huge deal throughout the 1950's and beyond in Egypt. Her short story takes readers into the mindset of a sociologist who is married to a man that does not care for her as much as she would like. 
This poem summarizes this short story briefly, but not nearly as much as the insightful and powerful ideals and quotes that Saadawi wrote herself.All Rights Reserved

LET ME HATE YOU by AnjaaniSadek

A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.

This story is in continuance to the first story written by me on wattpad about Prerna Sharma and Rishab Bajaj. The story had ended with them getting married. This one includes certain moments from their life, the trials and tribulations that they went through their fights their small rituals that became habits in the long run. How they overcame each others past, their insecurities and made their future. Both had loved both had been betrayed both choose to be with each other and that is why they got each other as they say " When you get up and accept life after losing what you wanted most in life you get what you deserve from life" and they deserved each other. P.S - I am not against any fandom any fans any actor but for this story and as a personal choice for me Mr Bajaj Started and ended with KSG and I have written thinking of KSG as Bajaj.

A Christian Man's Guide To Losing A Good Woman by wild_imaginatorII

"Men are idiots, I'm not going to tie my life to one." *+*+*+* Love is usually overshadowed by pain and suffering; in Ireti's life. A woman determined to overcome adversity growing up under the constant brutality of her "Christian", father. From a tumultuous childhood under the iron fist of her abusive and patriarchal father to a promising career as an engineer, Ireti has fought to carve out a life on her own terms. She has lived her life trying to prove that her gender is not a barrier and her success is not determined by a man. But when Toba, a charming and persistent stranger, enters her life, Ireti's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble. Their relationship though, is not your typical love story that is filled to the brim with ease. Now Toba's genuine affection and respect to Ireti is being opposed by her past traces traumatized by her father's maltreatment. Is Ireti going to accept the future with Toba or will the past continue to deny her the shot at happiness?

Unacceptable Love | ✓ by YouWillLoveThisLove

''I want you out of my life! I don't want to fucking see you!'' His voice got louder. ''Then I'll do what you want!'' I stutter trying to walk away from him, but before I got to do that he pushes me against the wall again. He lifts my chin up and looks straight into my eyes. ''But my heart doesn't want the same thing.'' He says underneath his breath before he crashes his lips into mine. Matthew Bayaroads, 28, is one of the richest people in America. He has everything, Money, Cars, Houses and much more that people dream of having. Every woman wants to be with him and every man wants to be him. Nawal Hassan, 22, is a poor Muslim woman who lives in a small village, but that doesn't mean she can let people look down on her. She's a strong woman who always talks back when she sees or hears something wrong. Matthew finds Nawal interesting due to her behavior, he knows she's not like every other woman. Day by day he finds himself stuck on her as Nawal is stuck on him too, but the problem is their love for each other is unacceptable. He's Atheist and she's Muslim. *Ps: I wrote this story when I was like 14, and I'm 17 now so believe me.

Beloved by myloveforwords

**Part of Preloved Series- Can be read as a stand-alone** You don't have to read Preloved in order to read this book. You can read this story on its own but my personal advice would be to read Preloved first if you haven't already, but it's completely up to you guys! ---------------------------- Hamza and Ayat had been living two different and wholly disconnected lives. They are not easy, they are not simple, and they most definitely don't agree on most things...then why are their paths colliding? Can two broken souls be woven together in love that is both pure and real? And if so, how far can you go for the one you love? ---------------------------- 'You hate me?' He gripped my wrist harder. 'You are hurting me Mr.Hamza...' I swallowed back my resentment. His grip loosened around my wrist, but he didn't let me go completely. There were so many emotions twirling in my chest that I felt like my heart was going to explode. 'And you are hurting me, do you think that I planned to fall in...' He let go of me and looked away. I needed to get away from him, I turned around to go back to my room, but he grabbed my hand again and made me look at him. 'I am sorry' He said out of despair, his eyes darted all over my face waiting for my reply. He looked so vulnerable as opposed to a second ago when his eyes were full of rage. I couldn't move.
