You pushed so fast

Perhaps, you couldn’t contain the excitement especially at the beginning  when the spark was still  igniting and thrilling . you became so attached to them, hence they began to withdraw.

You might be dating yet lonely because your partner had left you long ago.  To most coward folks, going on silent mode is the easiest way to break up.

In other to avoid unnecessary drama and confrontations by their partner. So rather than break up verbally, they go on  radio silent hoping that you will get the message and move on.

Watch out for early signs.

Relationship doesn’t just come to end out of the blues, there are usually warning signals indicating that a relationship was about to end.

However, most times, we ignore these signs with the intention to save a relationship which had ended long ago. And at the end, it leaves us with empty feelings and  loneliness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have  you been ghosted by a partner?  Such feelings can inflict  an untold pain in any individual. It is so devastating. Your relationship was awesome, you can hardly go a day without  checking up on each other. Your communication was so effective in such that the  absence might  signal anxiety and self imposed fear.

All of a sudden, they stopped calling you, they stopped chatting.  They became so cold, distant and unavailable. Even when you try to do that, is either you are completely ignored or you get a cold and brief response. You attempt to visit, they keep giving you one and thousands excuses just to scare you away.

They just disappeared out of the blues leaving you in the cloud. You keep wondering what you did or what went wrong.  No closure,  no explanation or at least an  opportunity to apologize in case you erred unknowingly or did something to them unintentionally. They just backed out completely leaving you pondering if the  relationship is over.

A lot of folks had gone trough this phase or currently undergoing it at the moment. No matter how strong, skillful or competent you are, rejection sucks and kills one’s esteem/ ego. Being ghosted by a partner  makes you assume you ain’t good enough for the one giving you such rejection.

The feeling is better expressed than experience. And you know the worse?  There is no form of explanation to ascertain the reason behind their actions. This makes it more unbearable and difficult for the victims to accept the  reality.

But would you blame them? We all desire to have a  closure   at one point or the other. It is human to naturally seek for reason behind certain issues or attitude portrayed by people as it helps to calm our nerves and relieve the curiosity in us.it also a sign of respect signifying that someone values you and the time you once spent together as couple.

But unfortunately, people at the giving end have a different perception. Sometimes they ghost you because they lack the courage to confront  you that that they want to take a walk. So by ghosting, they will save themselves  the stress of being confronted  with unnecessary dramas by their partner and making a whole lot of explanation, including the closure they  are seeking for.

 

Nevertheless, We all hate to be ignored, that’s why we often ask for closure.  But  when this closure is not forth coming, we get pissed off and emotionally wrecked.

The scenario is likened to getting a rejection mail after applying for a job despite your qualification. You won’t just feel bad because you weren’t successful, you will also be curious to know the reason why you were rejected despite your competency.

However,  seeking  for closure might make you hung up there forever. Getting stuck with the rejections and emotions.  Yet without any explanation. You really need to get out from that  state of  depression by learning how to handle the trauma associated with being ghosted by a partner.

How to handle being ghosted by a partner.

Accept the reality.

Sometimes in life, we have to accept some facts that  we can’t possibly erase and being ghosted by a partner is one of them.

This is the first  step in Handling rejection such situations. But unfortunately, it is quite difficult.  sucks, We just wished to wake up and discover that everything was just a night mare. We often fight to get our sanity back because it seems we are loosing it at that moment.

However, you have to understand that moving on and recovering from any misfortunes in life which may  include loss of loved one, failure in business and  loss of  job. first begins with embracing  the fact that it has happened and you can’t reverse it. loosing a loved one to a cold hands of death can be  devastating. Some people never get to heal till they accept the fact that they would never see such person again. Embracing  the reality gradually enables them to absorb the shock and also aid their healing process.

So you have to  Accept you’ve been ghosted for real and not some sort of night mare. That will give you an insight to ascertain  the next action to take.

Avoid bugging them with calls. 

One of the common things majority of us do after being ghosted by a partner is bugging them with calls, text messages and incessant pleas to come back to us. this is a bad idea and may derail any chances of having them back again.

But most times, we just can’t help it as our emotions seems to be taking its toll on us at that moment. Our brain knows this is not right, but our  emotions just want to be in charge. Is our duty to stop it from taking control of the situation. Easy right??? Hell no!!!

Everyone knows this is a way difficult. each time you see them online, your heart skips and you wonder who they are chatting with that they couldn’t even notice your presence. In as much as it is difficult, you have to try. Exert the same energy they are using on you.

When you call, chat or email them and get a cold or no response. How do you feel? More rejected and hurt right?? The more you call and plead, the more you get rejected, hence making you feel more bad and worthless.

Why not stop all this attitude. It makes them think you are a psycho. Maybe, just maybe, they will reach out to you when you stop pestering them.

Use the Reverse psychology. ghosted by your partner? You have to use the reverse psychology. This works out mostly for people who might still be in love with you, but began withdrawing as a way to manipulate you emotionally and boost their Ego.

Most people do this Especially when they discover that you are head over heels in love with them.

They just want to exercise their supremacy in other to feel relevant. I just wish you would learn to understand these  category of folks. Then you will feel less bothered as soon as they begin to ghost you.

Complaining and nagging is a way to show them that you are vulnerable. But ignoring them and acting like you don’t care will most definitely get to them.

Similarly, relationship can only thrive when both couples involve understands each other’s  preferences, and the different ways both gender reacts to emotions. The former might be easy to adopt as long as there is tolerance and understanding between couples. Whereas, the later might be a bit though for some folks especially if they are ignorant of the Emotional differences In men and women.

---

This is where the problem usually begins. Most women get into a relationship with the mindset  and confidence that their qualities and personalities alone will get them through, while others believes that once their partner truly loves them, they will always overlook any flaws which they portray. But unfortunately, this is not always true.

 

The scenario is just like having a business mindset and finance, and assuming that you only need these two factors to excel. While they are essential, they might not be the only factors needed. You also need to study your environment and understand how it works with the business you intend doing. If not, you will only end up investing in a non-  futile and unproductive land.

Similarly in relationships, you can’t have a good relationship, just by possessing a good quality, you need to know the biggest turn off for men. With that, you can always learn how  handle the male Ego . Without always having issues in your relationship every now and then.

And so the next question is, what are these turn offs,and how can you avoid them?

5 biggest turn off for men and how you can avoid them.

Nagging

This is one of the biggest turn off for men.  Every gender nags at one point or the other, but such attitude seems to be common among women. Because  men are logical beings.  men-are-from-mars-women-are-from-venus A man’s psychology  is built in such a way that it is emotionally strong to be calm at certain scenarios and address an issue more maturely. Whereas women are slightly different. They are emotionally weak and sensitive and thus they tend to react at any slightest provocation.

A friend once confided in me about her relationship, according to her, she has tried all she could to ensure it works out but all to no avail. From her complaint, I discovered that the bone of contention was her nagging attitude.calling your partner’s attention towards any weird attitude you observe in them ain’t wrong, but when your complaint becomes constant and unbearable, it gets  irritating and poses as a big turn off to men.

Nagging wouldn’t make them change but rather ignore   you the more. Learn how to control your emotions and insecurities.

Emotional weakness and sensitivity.

This is a significant turn off for  men. Men may claim to love women who are fragile and emotional.

But in reality, they actually prefers a confident woman. Men are hunters, they often derive joy in the chase, so they love confident women. A woman who wouldn’t compromise her principle or go in contrary to her decision just to please a man.

A woman who doesn’t give up on her vision and purpose in life just because she is in a relationship, a woman who doesn’t see relationship as a top priority. A woman whose life and happiness does not revolve around a man.

No man wants a woman who is so obsessed with him. They often regard such women as a psycho. Learn how to control your emotions no matter how deep in love you are. It makes you appear more attractive and respected. Such women challenges their Ego and makes chase more thrilling and exciting for them.

 

women who talks and argues a lot. 

Men are known for acting, while women are commonly known for expressing their thoughts verbally.

Unfortunately, most women go about this in a wrong way. You must not yell, argue or puck a fight  just to have your opinion heard.if your partner often gets on your nerve, the first thing to do is to politely called their attention towards it. And when you do, give them some time to adjust for good.

If peradventure they don’t, rather than argue or yell, result to silent treatment . Trust me, it works wonders as no one likes being ignored.

 

However, that should be your last resort, if talking to them did not yield any positive effect.

Women who Doubts them 

This is a turn off for both genders, however it affects men the most because they are the wooing gender. No man would like to be with a woman who doubts and monitors his every movement as a result of  lack of trust emerging from her past experience.

If you’ve never caught him cheating, there is no reason to doubt his love for you. Such doubts and insecurities are a big turn off to men.give him a benefit of doubt, until otherwise you suspect any fowl play in him. Don’t allow your insecurities destroy your relationship.

A woman who compares them with other men. 

Every man is egoistic, irrespective of his financial status and social class. Hence they try to impress their woman whichever way they deem fit in other to appear as the best among others. No man wants to be place in a competition whatsoever.

But unfortunately, most women are ignorant of this, and hence they compare their men or relationship with others especially their ex. This is a huge turn  off for  men because it bruises their Ego and drags  their self worth to the mud.

Every woman should realize that no man is perfect, hence should appreciate their man always.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attraction killers in a relationship, what are they? How can you avoid them? Before we give an answer to those questions. Let’s look at the term “attraction and what it really entails”.

Before making  a decision to do anything in life, there is always something special that must have prompted  to such decision.
You chose to study a particular course not because every other person does so. But because something prompted the desire to do so.

You went to a shopping mall and chose some clothes over the others, not really because others weren’t gorgeous. But because you got attracted to the selected ones.

Life is all about attraction, our choice and desire in life is guided by our attraction towards something.
Same phenomenon is applicable to relationships.

No relationship begins like a magic. There is always something that induced the desire, chemistry and spark to be with that special one.
There is something special about them that made them unique and outstanding among others. And this is what triggered the boldness in you to ask them out. This is called attraction.

It could be a physical attribute or behavioral attitude.
However, whatever is the source of attraction, it needs to be maintained by both otherwise it might be lost someday.

Attraction if not maintained might turn to become a distraction. Here is an illustration. Purchasing your desired clothes or accessories is not just enough

No matter How attractive they are, if they are not well maintained by regular, thorough and mild laundry/ ironing. They might begin to loose its glowing nature and becomes less attractive. Same is applicable in relationships.

Attraction killers in a relationship are one the Top reasons for divorce. During dating/courtship, You got attracted to your spouse for one reason or the other. The relationship later progressed to marriage.

But along the line, you stopped getting along with each other and began to encounter series of challenges which includes Constant arguments and fights. The attraction becomes invisible and seems no where to be found. What suddenly happened? Where is the attraction that brought you both in the first place? You asked yourself rhetorically ?

4 Attraction killers in a relationship.

EGO
Ego is one of the attraction killers in a relationship. Is one  thing to get attracted by someone, is another thing to respect them by being humble and down to earth.

A lot of people take advantage of the fact that their partner sees them attractive hence the reason to take them for granted. But such negative trait destroys a relationship faster than you can ever think of.

Being attracted to someone does not guarantee they will always stick to your misbehaviors Soon they would realize they deserve a better treatment. And they might

Decide to take a walk. It is human nature to feel egoistic when you get a lot of admiration and special treat especially from people you wish to have. However, one has to be careful, in other not loose a diamond out of ego. You know the saying, ” you really don’t know what you have” till it slips out of your finger.

Insufficient ingredients.

In other to keep a relationship thriving.  Love is not just enough Neither is attraction. It needs to be spiced up by other essential factors such as tolerance and understanding. Remember as time goes, you will be faced with a lot of challenges in your relationship/ marriage..

Challenges that needs to be tackled by a mutual mind and understanding . when there is no mutuality or understanding, the attraction will wane off.

Clingy
Acting clingy often kills attraction quicker than you can imagine. It is awesome to express your affection to your partner..but don’t always do in a way that suggest you are too clingy or desperate.

No matter how someone loves you, everyone needs their space a times to sort out other vital issues on life, but that may not necessarily mean they’ve lost interest .

 

Negligence

Attraction killers in a relationship often times occurs as a result of negligence by both couples.

 

After the  honeymoon phase, most people develops a  negligence attitude, and tend to forget what attracted them to their spouse.

Relationship is like a car, it needs a regular check and   steady maintenance to work effectively. Without which it will always break down every now and then. Being attracted by one thing or the other ain’t enough. You need to maintain such attraction and add more spices to it. Just like a garden, you need to water your relationship every now and then to keep it glowing. Having an  effective communication often  really helps a lot in other to understand where you might be erring in the relationship for readjustment.

 

 

 

Understanding the male’s ego is one of the best strategies to maintaining a healthy relationship.

It is often said that if you want to relate well with people without having unnecessary arguments and differences with them , you have to master their weak points and strength.
These are the two qualities that makes us who we are and how we react differently to things.

This is also applicable to the male gender. A man’s strength lies in his Ego.

The male’s Ego is like a weapon and defense to which they command respect, supremacy and authority over the opposite gender.

Have you ever wondered why your complaints and nags never changes anything. Each time you nag, rather than get the attention you crave for, you only end up turning him off and pushing him farther away.

This is because you are going about it in the wrong way, and this is one major mistakes most ladies make. They ‘ve not really understood how the male psychology works.

Unlike women, men are not always derive by emotions. This is one of the Emotional differences In men and women.

They hardly change their mind towards something except they’ve taken a decision to.What defines a  man is his ability to stand firm in his decision.

When you nag, you are indirectly telling him to stoop so low towards accepting your own decision.

To most of them, it is a a big threat to their Ego. Hence, they might not harken to your plea or nag.
You can’t handle the male’s ego without knowing how the male psychology works.

Understanding the male’s psychology.

 

Men love being in control

the male’s ego is fueled by

The fact that they often love to be in charge in every aspects of their life ranging from financial capability to their quest for power.

No matter how broke a man is, he often finds it difficult to seek for an assistance from her woman. He would rather stay broke or seek for assistance from a stranger than the former.

Most men detests dating or getting married to a financially independent women as a result of inferiority complex. To them, it is a big threat to their ego, hence they prefer being the financial boss.

Another factor that that shows that men loves to be in control is the fact that they love wooing a lady.  They love the chase. To them, the chase is a thrilling experience. Thus, they often place much values on the ladies they woo than the reverse.

Men hate rejections.

The male psychology is structured in such a way that it detests rejection a lot. Sometimes the rejection triggers their desire press further. Ever seen a man so desperate to win a lady’s heart? He does not give up till his desire becomes accomplished. Being rejected would often make him press further in other not regain his wounded ego. Most will even go as far as betting to have their aims achieved. Most women had fallen victims to deceit by men who just want to fuel their Ego in the guise of seeking for committed relationship.

They detests failure

A man’s ego lies in the fact that he would always conquer at all times. This is why they often work hard especially when they have received mockery or

Challenged to a certain point.
This is also the reason  why a man would do everything to win a girl’s heart then dump her afterwards.

Note: Men do not joke with their Ego. The male’s ego is like a self defense will always be egocentric, You can’t stop a man’s ego because they were natural created in such way. It is part of them. You can only stop him from using that to manipulate you emotionally. You can only learn how to handle it with maturity in other secure your relationship with him.

What are the -ways-to-handle-the-male-ego?

How to handle the male’s Ego

Learn to be in control.

By this , I don’t mean you should take his place or try to dominate him. Men will always like to be in control, but don’t allow him get you subjected with his controlling prowess. Don’t always yield to his request. Stand firm to your decision. Of course this will be a bit tough as your emotions will always want to conquer. But you have to try harder to conquer your emotions. Men love challenges a lot and often love women who challenges them a lot. If you want to bruise his Ego. Don’t always yield to his demands. This is the mistake most women do thinking they are making a lot of sacrifice in keeping their man and the  relationship.

But unfortunately, men sees thing in a different perspective. They love women who care a lot about them and at the same time, they love confident  women who ain’t  always tossed around like a robot. So you have to learn how to balance both. Show him love and affection, but let him know the world does not just revolve around him. Let him know you have your worth too and deserves to be respected. Learn to say “no in some situations. It doesn’t really make you a bad person. It only

Shows you are in control of your life. Don’t compromise your principle just to please him. As this is not a guarantee that he would stay.

Avoid nagging and unnecessary pleas.

 

Nothing fuels the male Ego like having a nagging woman or a woman who gets unnecessarily emotional.

They will always have control over such women. As a woman you have to learn how to get things from a man without nagging or being too emotional. Work on your esteem, let him know you truly deserve it.

There is more respect and dignity attached to being given something freely  and willingly because one truly deserves such treatment than being given because you nagged and pleaded for it. Trust me, the former will always be respected than the later.

 

Respect his decision

Men loves  women who respects every aspect of their life including their decision.

You can’t get a man change his mind  over something by engaging in a heated argument with him.

Such is a big turn off.  You ain’t competing with him over his Ego.you only want to command respect from him. Let him know you respect whatever decision he has to make for his life or relationship. Don’t nag or argue over it. It is called maturity. Such will bruise his Ego on discovering that you begging for his attention. He will also respect you for that as respect is reciprocal.

 

 

 

Emotionally distant partner can make a relationship become so stressful and uninteresting because you can only be bonded with your partner when you are emotionally connected with them.

They will make you  beg virtually for everything including their attention.

They seems unavailable especially at trying  moments in your life when you may need them to be much  closer to you.

You can imagine how it feels when you are emotionally down, and you chose to confide in a close friend or a relation. With the hope to find solace in their arms.

But unfortunately, they seems unavailable.  They couldn’t give you that    listening ear you yearned  for at that moment.

Such feelings could be so daunting. The excruciating pains emerging from such experience often feels like one who has been pierced by a sharp object. You will be so overwhelmed with the feelings of neglect and disappointment.

Emotions are so sensitive, if you really want infuriate pain into someone’s heart, the best way is to get them  down with their emotions.

This is why  having emotionally distant partner is one of the  Red flags in a relationshipin a relationship.

One of the basic reason why we venture into a relationship is to have that special one who we could share our happy moments as well as sad moments with them. The one who could easily detect our moods at various moments even when we are yet to utter a word.

The one who can gaze  at you and be able to identify your countenance. When all these signs are missing, then it is obvious you are dating an emotionally distant partner.

Signs of emotionally distant partner.

They are always busy.

Have you ever been in a relationship and yet still feel lonely?    No regular communications,  no signs of commitment.

You have to plead before your chats could be replied, you have to nag before your calls get answered.  they hardly visits, you have to send several notifications  prior to the day of visit, if at all you are allowed to visit.  You always get the  line ” Am busy now, I will call you back later”. Which they never does.

This is one of the obvious signs that you are dating an emotionally distant partner. Is either  they are busy or acting busy. Now the former can be normal, but only needs to learn how to  handle their job and relationship  simultaneously, in other to adjust in both. While the later, has only one purpose. To fan his/ her ego and show off their relevance.

They are physically present but emotionally absent.

These set of people can be with you physically, they can spend lot of time with you. But may not be patient enough to give you an audience.

They are only interested in having a physical intimacy with you, they just want to subdue their sexual arousal.  And once that is achieved, nothing else matters to them. They only call when they desire to be with you.

They don’t care about what is bothering you or what you might be passing through. Even when you disclose your burdens to them, they will only sympathize with you at that moment, and they may never check on you to inquire about it again. When you remind them, they will claim to have forgotten.so how can you -talk-to-partner-who is-emotionally-distant?

 

 

 

How to connect with Emotionally distant partner.

Communication

I know I really shocked you by mentioning communication. It would have been more easier to tell you to retaliate by ignoring them and acting like you don’t care as a way to pay them back .however, is not always right to complain about your relationship issues when you’ve not talked to your partner about it.

Before taking any decision in a relationship, is good to first discuss the issue with your significant other to ascertain their reason.

Give them that respect and benefit of doubt. It is only after then you can decide on your next line of action assuming there is no adjustment after that.  In some cases, he/ she might be the  workaholic  type. They might not really be aware that their unavailability is affecting you emotionally.

They might be not aware they are hurting you.pour out your feelings first, before drawing your conclusions.

Avoid nagging about it

So many people assume that if they don’t nag, their opinions might not be taken into consideration.

But unfortunately, nagging does not proofer any solution. Rather it does the opposite. Communication is quite different from nagging.

Communication means to speak up. While nag means to complain. The later seems like you are pestering someone ‘s life. As tempting as it maybe, avoid nagging at this period. You’ve communicated to  them, fine!! The best is to sit back, relax and watch if they would adjust. If they don’t, there is a better way to get back at them via their emotions. That will be our next point of discussion.

Use the Reverse psychology.

This works perfectly especially for people being emotionally distant towards you  with the purpose of feeding their ego in other to achieving relevance. How does this works? Before you can use Reverse psychology, you must be able to hold back your emotions and put it under control.

Just Like the name implies. ” Reverse” which literally means to turn down their expectations by doing the opposite of what they expected you to do. Now what do they expect you to do? Yell, sob , plead and nag endlessly. With that they’ve achieved their aim.

But if you can control your emotions at this time and be strong, rather than all the mentioned, withdraw your self emotionally from them too. Act like you don’t care, but don’t over do it. If they still love you, they will notice your absence  and might come  drooling back to you, when they realize that you’ve gat no time to nag about their negligence towards you.

By then, their aim of being emotionally available to you might have been defeated. Now they will be much concerned about not losing you. Reverse psychology only needs a strong heart and emotions. Don’t let your emotions ruin everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maintaining Emotional stability in a relationship is one of the ways to get rid of Insecurity  and unnecessary tensions.

It is a healthy habit every individual needs to cultivate as it attracts respect and dignity. However, it is not always easy especially when one has built his/ her happiness around their relationships and partners. In such that a greater part of their life now revolves around the relationship.

Maintaining Emotional stability in a relationship requires a lot of discipline and self control.

So many folks can’t stop asking themselves this question . Why am i too emotional and sensitive?For instance, they get paranoid   at any slightest provocation, always worrying and being insecure as soon as they discover a change in their partner’s attitude. And many has testified that this negative trait Never proffers solution, but rather had made their partner become more cold and distance towards them.

This is because no matter the intensity of the feelings or love,  nobody likes to be suffocated. Every human  occasionally needs space to sort out some issues in their life. Hence they might request for it at one point or the other. It takes a disciplined and matured mind to respect such decision rather than start nagging the hell out of them.

It takes emotional stability not to blow your partner’s phone with excessive calls when they couldn’t pick their calls at the initial time. It takes emotional stability not to  constantly check your partner’s phone in suspicion. It takes emotional stability not to get paranoid if they hadn’t reach out to you. As human, we all have the need to express our love and be loved in return. While that might not really come as expected, but we always crave for that.

So many relationship has lost its spark because one or both partners were often emotionally unstable.

A relationship can only thrive well when both minds are stable, As it only takes a stable mind to build and plan together. That leads us to the question.  Why is emotional stability in a relationship vital? There are several reasons why people ought to be emotionally stable in a relationship. Let’s look at some of these reasons before going ahead to discussion on how to maintain Emotional stability in a relationship.

The importance of Emotional Stability in a relationship.

It enhances Trust 

Trust is one of the vital traits in a healthy relationship. It is so vital that one would do everything not to loose the trust of their partner.

This is the reason  why people who cheat are always careful not to get caught. There is this sense of fulfillment and self confidence that evolves in one, knowing that your partner or a close friend believes so much in you. They can entrust a lot into your hands because they don’t have any doubt about you.

But unfortunately, emotional instability can disrupt that. When you are always unnecessarily worked up, you might begin to doubt the sincerity in your partner, you might begin to get unnecessarily suspicious. And that will lead you into imagining things  which might not be in existence. No one gets excited on discovering that they are not trusted. Such can lead to loosing a lovely partner or relationship.

There will be less worries and anxiety

A stable mind is a peaceful mind, and a peaceful mind creates a good atmosphere for positive thoughts.

When your mind is emotional stable towards your partner, you will often feel free to explore life. Worries can interfere  with your activities in life including your career. I’ve heard a lot of folks complained that they couldn’t concentrate on their work because they are worried about their relationship. Such worries can lead to loosing of one’s job and career.

You can handle critical situations in your relationship

When your mind is emotionally stable, you may find it difficult  to handle some difficult situations in your relationship.

Emotional instability can lead to irrational decisions. Here is an illustration. You caught your hubby in the act of cheating. At that moment, your heart is so devastated and your emotions so intense.

You really want to calm down and  think of possible ways to sort situations, but your emotions just want to get fierce because you are agitated at that moment.  Rather than act maturely and overlook things till you both gets home, you will get aggressive and might be pushed to create s scene  thereby causing embarrassment to yourself  and equally worsening the situation.

Emotional stability helps to get your mind relaxed in certain situations while thinking of possible ways to address it later.

You are in control of your self and emotion.

emotional stabilitygives you a sense of confidence, knowing that no matter what you might be passing through in your relationship or in the hands of your partner, you are still strong and not weighed down by such. It boosts one’s esteem.

With such confidence, you will easily realize that no one ought to be responsible for your happiness except You. It will guide your sanity even when you are beginning to receive a mixed signal from your partner indicating that they might be loosing interest in you .

How can you maintain Emotional stability in a relationship?

 Get rid of your  past escapades

It would have been more  easier to say  “build your trust with your  partner, but then you can’t build trust  someone when you still have your past experience hunting you. Trust issues might sometimes occur as a result of an ugly past experience. Perhaps,,your ex might have betrayed your trust and so you’ve vowed never to trust again. Such mindset can always lead to emotional instability and insecurity. You must first get rid of your past. Eliminate that phobia that everyone would betray your trust just like your Ex.

Avoid too much expectations

Emotional stability in a relationship can be achieved by not being too expectant. View relationship like life experiences.

In life, anything is bound to happen. The only constant thing in life is change. Your expectation does not determine what happens. No matter what we expect or the  plans we make  in our lives, fate has the capability of destroying those plans in just few seconds.

Similarly in relationship, expect nothing to remain permanent. Your once loving partner today might  become weird tomorrow. When you learn not to be too expectant, you can easily handle any issues in your relationship without being unnecessarily worked up.

Learn how to control your temperament .

Another vital way to maintain emotional stability in a relationship is to learn how to control your temperament . Certainly, some situations in your relationship might make you hurt or betrayed.

Often times, you will feel agitated, sad and furious with your partner’s attitude that you will  be pushed to nag , yell at them or do something wired.

However, you have to learn how to maintain calmness in certain circumstances. As that will always keep you in charge of your emotions .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Begging for attention from people you cherish or admire so much may seem like a normal habit, but trust me, it sometimes denotes lack of self confidence and inferiority complex. I understand how it feels, when your significant other, crush or someone you admire so much who was once  so close to you suddenly becomes cold and distant.

They were once your shoulder to lean on, they were once your confidant,  you were not so broken down by issues and difficulties of life  because you knew you had someone to talk to, you had someone who wouldn’t hesitate to give you a listening ear and an affectionate heart. But suddenly, all those seems to be a night mare. Such feelings could be so devastating. Being subjected to some kind of Emotional manipulation .

A lot of women had complained bitterly on how their relationship started off so awesome.

Communication was so consistent that it became a daily routine. A day would not pass without reaching out to each other. The affection was so much that they fell helplessly in love. Somewhere along the line, the rate of communication began to drop gradually.  They suddenly became so busy with work.

They nagged uncontrollably, but all to no avail. Rather they were only reassured of adjustment which never came. When nagging seems not to have proffered solution, they resorted to neediness which is no difference from ” begging for attention”. They would call several times in a day despite being ignored, they would show up unannounced despite the cold response they were presently receiving.and after all the humiliation they got,they still can’t come to the terms of accepting reality. But rather, they resorted to begging for attention.

Any scenario where you have to seek for someone’s consent in other to feel their love and affection . then you are simply begging for attention. Perhaps, they might be a crush, partner or Ex. As long as they ain’t giving it out freely. You have to yell, nag or complain severally before you can get it,(I.e if you would ever get it). then you are simply begging for it.

Several reason why you should stop begging for attention.

You can’t get the best of them

Imagine desiring to study your dream course in school because you have passion for it, but unfortunately, your parents became an obstacle. They weren’t in support of your dream course, rather they made their own choice for you.

If you accept their choice, do you think you will make good grades compared to a scenario where you had studied your dream course. Similarly, begging for attention feels like going for a course just to please your parents.

At the end of the day, you might not give in your best, because you had no passion for it. True love is unconditional, it ought to be given freely and equally received freely. It ought to be given willingly and not under composure .  If you  beg for love, be rest assured that  you will continue begging for it in other to maintain the relationship. And even if they accept, they will never give in their best. It will always feel like they are doing you a huge favor by loving you which ought not to be so. No matter how painful it feels, Take yes for an answer, accept no bravely. Don’t stress it further.

You will always feel  neglected and being  taken for granted.

Begging for attention will always make you feel neglected. Just like they assume they are doing you a great favor by giving you their attention. They will always feel is their right, hence the need to forcefully withdraw  their attention when they deem fit. This will always make you feel unappreciated and humiliated.

It makes you vulnerable to deceit and heartbreaks.

Begging for attention makes one vulnerable to deceits . you can easily fall prey to deceivers and players. They will always take the advantage of the fact that you begged for their attention. Begging for attention will equally make it difficult to differentiate between real love and  infatuation.  With such, it is difficult  to spot a player.

it induces low esteem and inferiority complex.

Begging for attention often leads to lack of self confidence and inferiority complex. How does it feel when you beg for attention, but got a cold response instead. You feel humiliated right?  It always feels like you ain’t good enough for them. This can go a long way to affect your esteem. This is more reason why you need to  control emotions not to beg for attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decision making in relationships is one of the attributes of  a healthy relationship.

Making decisions in life is one of the basic way towards securing one’s future. Decisions are like life jackets. It is  so sensitive that if not made properly it can either ruin one’s life.

Your decision in life determines your tendency of being made or ruined. This is why a lot of people are often not in a haste to make certain decisions without consulting some expertise in such areas.

Generally, decision is the sauce of life.  And decision making in relationships is not an exceptional.  It is very essential as it determines the life span of a relationship.

Do you know that most  failed relationship/ marriage occurred as a result of wrong decisions taken by one or both partners? Decisions can either make or mar your relationship. And now the question is. How can decision making influence our relationships? Let’s find out.

How decision making in relationships can either make or mar the union.

When there is no mutual agreement.

Decision making in relationships might  suddenly become a bone of contention and might lead to constant arguments  between two couples when it is not mutual.

Just as the  adage, ” it takes two  to tango”,which implies  that a relationship can only be successful when both are moving in similar route/ directions. both in thoughts and decision making.

Here is an instance. There are some sensitive issues which often lead to indifferences between couples. Among such issue is the issue of finance.  financial issues is one of the leading cause  of separation and divorce  in most relationships and marriages. In a scenario where both couples earn a salary, there might be controversies on how to pay the bills.

The one who earns more  might assume that it is not her responsibility to pay bills. While the one with lesser pay might feel cheated on for handling the responsibilities alone despite his low income. Such can be handled when both couples comes together to make a decision on how to share the responsibilities in a fair manner. Both should endeavor  to arrive at a mutual conclusion and not in opposition against each other.

 

When one or both partner is Egoistic/ Authoritative.

 Egoistic  individuals often have this ” myself, ” me” and “I” mentality. Their intense desire for superiority often gives them the mindset that things ought  to be done in their own. And so other people’s opinion are  irrelevant.

However, Decision making in relationships is very important especially when handling such kind of people. In other to avoid being taken for granted.

As their significant other,they don’t have to  conclude on a matter or make their own decision without consulting you. Such attitude signals neglect and disrespect.  Both couples ought to respect each other.

When one is under pressure or duress.

There are people who wouldn’t mind putting you under duress to do certain things. They will often threaten to quit the relationship if you fail to comply.

Decision making in relationships ought to be applied here in other to avoid compromising your principle just to  keep them. Don’t yield to their pressure just to have them. Decide on what you want and want you wouldn’t curtail. Such decision should be made known to them. So they can equally have a mutual discussion with you concerning that.

How can decision making in relationships be achieved?

Being friends with your partner/ spouse.

It is quite unfortunate that most couples live as house mates. Their only form of bond and communication is sex. Waking up every day with similar routine. Which is going to work, retiring back home only to doze off few hours later. And the same routine continues except on few occasions where they might decide to get intimate.

Even the intimacy goes with just the purpose of making each other orgasm. And that’s all. You can’t make a mutual decision with your better half when they are not even your friends. Lovers get attraction, but friends shares their deepest secrets with each other.

The best form of relationship is friendship.  You don’t get bored sitting all day to discuss and plan your future together. But when friendship has been eliminated, you will often find it boring, doing other things aside sex. 

compatibility  must be present.

You can’t expect a fraudster to be honest with you when presenting a business idea.

Similarly, decision making in relationships works with compatibility. One who is egoistic or authoritative might find it unnecessary to make a decision with their spouse. Because they often expect their decision to be the final resort and most sought for.

That is why it is very necessary to include compatibility in the attribute of your prospective partner. You can only work together if the mind and interest are mutual. You need one who would respect your decision and not put you in any form of pressure to compromise your principal/standard for their own selfish motive.

Being Transparent with each other.

Transparency is very vital in any relationship. You can’t have a mutual decision when one or both of you have skeletons on their cupboard. What exactly do you want to decide on? When it is obvious you are not open with each other. You can’t solve a hidden problem.  You can only solve a problem which  had been unconcealed  and made open. decision-making can only be effective in this scenario when you are both honest with each other.
