How should a healthy relationship Be?

 Healthy relationships involve a lot of things narrowed to honesty, trust, respect and open communication between partners and they take effort and compromise from both people. There should be no imbalance of power. Partners respect each other’s independence, can make their own decisions without fear of retribution or retaliation, and share decisions. And in case the relationship ends, there is no stalking or refusal to let the other partner go.

The Following are some of the Characteristics of Healthy Relationships

  • Your partner Creates Time for you. 'You are never too busy for someone you love'
  • Respect for each others' privacy and space. It goes by saying that you can't be with each other all the time but when you get that opportunity you can have fun.
  • Your partner encourages you to spend time with friends or colleagues without them, and to participate in activities that you enjoy as well as doing other chores that are beneficial.
  • You feel comfortable expressing your opinions and concerns to your partner. This include your deep desires that can only be met by him/her.
  • Your feel physically safe and your partner doesn't force you to do things that make you feel uncomfortable.
  • Your partner respects your wishes and feelings and you can compromise and negotiate when there are disagreements or conflicts.

The foundation of a healthy relationship includes:

  • Support: The first person you should approach whenever you feel like you need assistance is your partner. The should also be willing to provide a hand whenever possible.
  • Boundaries: You and your partner are able to find ways to meet each other’s’ needs in ways that you both feel comfortable with.
  • Communication: You and your partner can share your feelings, even when you don’t agree, in a way that makes the other person feel safe, heard, and not judged.
  • Trust: Building trust can take time and allows couples to be vulnerable with one another knowing that they can rely on the other person.
  • Consent: Most commonly used when you’re being sexually active, giving consent means that you are okay with what is happening, and that no one is forcing you or guilting you into doing anything that you don’t want to do. Consent can be given and taken back at any time, and giving consent once does not mean you automatically give consent in the future.

It Ain't Love

IT AIN'T LOVE It comes in different ways. Many people are more eager to share their experiences in falling in love and the romantic relationships that they are in. People rarely share their experiences out of love . Some experiences really hurts and so people prefer keeping them to themselves. At times you might be deeply in love with this special someone but they don't even care about your feelings at all. It's a bad experience and rarely do people share it. It reaches a time when the best option is to let go and move on. All those said, some people still, are so blinded and rarely do they realize that they are being played. It's more healthier to realize it now, rather than waiting for your relationship to crack down leaving you so heartbroken, unhappy and helpless. There are some clear signs of rejection and falling relationships that I would like to share with you. You are my BEST FRIEND. Yeah its prettily known as the friend zone. Maybe you are falling deeply i

I have a Secret Too

Yeah, everybody has a secret. I have one, too. Most of my friends know, But what about you? I can't explain what I'm feeling. Could it be true? I'm not sure, but I think I'm falling for you. To be honest, I think it's quite possible. It's funny how this feeling grew. I'm falling once again, But this time it's for you. Tell me you like me Or at least give me a clue. I know this feeling I've felt it before, But that was different 'Cause he walked out the door... I could be losing it, But I'll let the rain pour Because a day without you Is like hitting the floor. All over again, I'll fight this war... Standing here with you feels so right, But something's wrong. This rhyme is a little off, But I'll sing this song. It's beautiful Because its melody is so lovely, but somehow it doesn't belong. It doesn't have to be perfect, So why don't you sing along? I'm being honest. I can't

Reasons people fall in love at first sight

When you know, you know. Even though some people don't believe in it, there's actually science behind the feeling of falling in love at first sight. True, deep love may not exist yet when you first meet someone, but you may create the memory of falling in love later on in your relationship. Some scientists do believe that love at first sight can be real for certain people, but staying in love is the deeper challenge. Do you believe in love at first sight? According to a 2017 poll from dating site Elite Singles (via Harper's Bazaar),61% of women and 72% of menthink that love at first sight is real - that's alotof people. Of course, it's hard to compare the way you love someone after you've spent years together making memories and being there for each other through the good and the bad, but there's definitely something to be said for instantly making a connection with someone the moment you meet. And as far as science is concerned, there's a reason you

I Waited Part 2

Image
 Her P.o.v I know I should be getting ready but I'm just lying on my bed scrolling through his feed. The man is fine and this he knows. Thoughts of what will go down tonight have me getting tingles in my vagina. His soft lips on mine as he takes unzips my dress and I his pants. He kisses my neck trailing down to the line between my supple breasts, circling my navel as he strokes my thighs. His huge hands all over my body sending shivers to my spine as he kneels down on me and gives me the best head I've ever received. The thought of all this makes me want to reach to my drawer and get my dildo out but I decide against it because I want to wait for the real thing. It makes me anticipate the night. I have been sex starved for 6 months now. My boyfriend is overseas working and won't be back until the end of the year. Deciding to meet up with him really took a lot of convincing from my friends and I can't help but feel a pang of guilt. What if my boyfriend is out there bein

Bad Day

Cause I slept drunk yesterday, I wake up with a spinning head I can't tell left from right. I have to pull myself together and after a litre or two of chilled water with a squeeze of lemon I become steady,trying to wake my wife up since I can't do shit on my own, it's dark ;4 or 5 in the am-so I think, dogs are barking And a cock can be heard from a far,"why are you so stubborn!" slowly whispers ,my wife. Assuming that is rhetorical ,I let her be, I have to fasten my pace so I cannot be late for work. The weather is chill and mist has formed in most part of my neighbourhood, again I can't see shit and this time not because of the darkness but the mist. I have already left the house when I get a call from my boss "Hello, I thought we spoke yesterday and you promised to be here earlier than now!" "What!?,I mean sorry, I am on my way sir."I reply not knowing what we spoke about the previous day. My head is still floaty, memories about last nig

When My Dreams Come True

Image
When Nights get brighter; its almost sunrise When I wake up Check my phone, she left me a surprise again She melts my heart every morning; Love  bubbles pop out; making me smile all-day Jullie you much worthy to spend all my pay When my dream comes true Your lips will be the first thing to see when I wake up,  Your sexy eyes  will open for me every blessing And a whisper "I love you" to my ear Will wash away all my pain; all my fear When dreams come true  I'll take you all over the world Be part of you in every of your jungle and wild Be part of  you from creation to revelation Face and solve problems together In storms, winds n' all weather Trust me my love for you will not weather To tell you there's nothing I'd rather do Than spend my whole life loving only you When I look at your face I see wrinkles I see you getting older A reason to make my love stronger Which is not to last longer but forever Set fire at dawn and warm ourselves Watch

When You Finally Decide to Date(part 1)

So, lately I've came to realize that its quite hard to have it all together.  Once you decide to love someone or when you want to settle in one relationship, Strange things start happening, everyone likes you and they really open up. Y'all remember that time when you were single like nonsense, nobody really cared about you(leave alone your family n friends, you know). Really, you were once out there, lonely and searching. Your search and prayers, lets say, were answered. And now you are happy,and trying to make things better if not best, with your 'spouse'. And you can confidently confess that you are dating, like for those I interviewed, congratulations. Okay, now surely, as I have said earlier, I did some interviews here and here and also there. I wanted to prove some trash that was dumped on my head by one of my friends. I experienced the same trash, sadly, when I first tried things out( I mean dating, but well that's a stronger word you know. Oh and sorry I d

'Stole My Heart.

I lay here all alone and think of our first chat It wasn't that long ago we talked of this and that So quickly we connected. Have we spoken before? I never want to end our chat. I always want some more. I find it difficult to believe how for you my heart aches I yearn for you and miss you heaps. i want your embrace. I think of you each minute of each day that goes by I fall asleep without you, it makes me want to cry. Last night I matched the stars with the times I think of you I was doing well until i ran out of stars, what was I to do? I lay back in my bed and think of you until I sleep The thoughts of you stay with me as I close my eyes and dream. How you've made me feel this way in such a short while is a question I ask myself and then I just smile You stole my heart so quickly like a thief in the night Its the strangest feeling I have had but who am I to fight? All I ask is that it's handled with love and with care It's been a little fragile in many recent years
