should you inform your buddy that her companion is dishonest?

it’s not as clear reduce as you’d assume. after a telephonic communique wherein a colleague at work confessed that he noticed his sister’s boyfriend cheating on her, we couldn’t help however weigh in. i mean, the remaining aspect you need to do is find out that the person your first-class buddy can’t prevent gushing about is truly a cheater. even worse is that you’re now left in a function in which you have understanding of this. possibly you actually have the proof to returned it up. however, what do you do? do you risk your courting with your buddy or sibling and tell them what you noticed? or do you desire that they find out all on their very own? i used to be telling the ladies within the workplace that for my part, i might select it my pals would permit me know. withholding statistics (even supposing it's far something in an effort to absolutely hurt me) is something that i keep in mind to be a betrayal of my trust. the “you’ve got my lower back and i’ve were g...

Warning - explicit content: What internet porn is doing to your boyfriend's brain

And your brain. And your sex life. And probably your relationship too. pornography has quite a great deal been around in view that human beings first learnt to attract on cave partitions. and till quite lately it has been, at least in this journalist’s opinion, a fairly innocent indulgence for maximum who devour it and even an occasional sexual aid for some. but the internet has modified the sport. dramatically. over the previous couple of years, a bunch of huge, properly-respected publications have run piece after piece on studies conducted through huge and incredibly-esteemed establishments related to the consequences of net pornography on the brain. i mention the scale and respectability of the guides and institutions because i don’t want you to brush aside the findings as coming from sex-poor, conservative or non secular companies. but greater about that later. overwhelmingly the research seem to signify that publicity to big amounts of internet porn is tied to loss of libi...

Can I get an STD from oral sex?

credit GOOGLE Jade Zwane from City Press answers reader's uncomfortable sex questions. Q: Can I fall pregnant from pre-cum? My boyfriend suggested we use the pull-out method and I wanted your opinion. A: The function of pre-ejaculate is to adjust the pH of the urethra from urine- to semen-friendly. While the likelihood is slim, it’s still possible to fall pregnant as pre-ejaculate can contain sperm, even though low in concentration, or semen ejaculate directly after the pre-ejaculate can enter your vagina. I advise against the pull-out method. Not only is it high risk for unplanned pregnancy, you’re not protected against sexually transmitted infections. Condoms are my recommendation. As nothing is 100% guaranteed, dual protection against pregnancy (using a condom and being on a contraceptive pill) wouldn’t be a bad idea. Q: What are the chances of contracting something from oral sex? A: Because of the exchange of bodily fluids, there’s a possibil...

You don't have to choose monogamy... but it's okay if you do

Credit: iStock No one talks about the lesser explored relationship models which may save your love life. When I was in Grade 5, I had a boyfriend named Jonathan. Jonathan was a bird-like creature who was considered a very exotic catch since he was said to be a genius and had a sweet English accent.  Like gender and sexuality, relationship models are assumed for you by the prevailing dictates of the social norm you find yourself in. But I was not Jonathan’s only girlfriend. He also sent letters to Samantha and had kissed Rosalee.  Luckily I had Michael and we had agreed, by letter, to be girlfriend and boyfriend. I also quite liked Paul. It was the start of my relationship intrigues and, looking back at it, two things strike me: One, how very little changes as one gets older; and two, when did I decide monogamy was an obvious relationship model for me? Oh right. I didn’t decide.   Like gender and sexuality, relationship models are assumed for yo...

At her age

My wife no longer turns me on as I don’t find her attractive. We’ve been married for 28 years and are now in our 50s. I’m not a strapping young man but I’ve kept fit and exercise daily while my wife has let herself go. My social club of which she’s a member, has a state-of-the-art gym, but she refuses to join, even though she’s always taking diet pills.   We used to have an excellent love life, but her appearance now puts me off and I can only get aroused by picturing younger girls I’d slept with. I still love my wife and everything else in our life is good.  The three children of the marriage are well turned out, so what can I do to make her take more interest in her looks? Dan, by e-mail DearDan, It’s obvious that in spite of the young women you’ve slept with, you appreciate the fact that you and your wife have built so much together that it’s worth trying to find a workable solution.  It’s clear that you value physical fitness highly, while it isn’t as importan...

This is totally unacceptable behaviour

Maybe I’m just being silly but I really hate it when my boyfriend squeezes my breasts in public and says: ‘Honk! Honk!’ I’m quite heavy on top and this just draws attention to them.  I find it really humiliating. Other than that, he’s a really nice guy. Shall I just let him carry on and grin and bear it for the sake of our relationship?  Judith, bye-mail  Dear Judith,  When next he tries it, why not give him a kick in the groin area and yell:  ‘Boom! Boom!” then ask him what he thinks? This is totally unacceptable behaviour and you need to let him know how it makes you feel. If he really is the nice guy you say he is, he’ll be mortified that his behaviour has upset you. Hopefully, he’ll learn his lesson and behave. Good luck.

Should you tell your friend that her partner is cheating?

I’ve always thought that it would be way more humiliating to be the last person to know about being cheated on. My friend argues that it’s not that simple. She confesses that she’s scared that she might resent her friend for telling her and potentially ruining her happiness. But on the other hand, she agrees that is would be a betrayal of the worst kind if she found out that this information was withheld from her. Frankly, the only person ruining any happiness here is the cheater. I suppose it also becomes a lot trickier when you take into consideration the type of relationship you have with the people involved. Are you closer to the person who was cheated on or the cheater? And what if your friend was the one doing the cheating? Idealistically speaking, I’d love to say that even though I’m a loyal friend, I’m a stickler for doing the right thing.  In both cases I know I certainly envision myself telling both parties to come clean before someone else airs their d...

Why St. Valentine’s Day Is Such A Huge Joke! – Reader

“TUESDAY, February 14, is the day I dread,” wrote in Victoria who called herself a self-opinionated modern middle-aged survivor! “Valentine’s Day is when the populace is cruelly divided into winners and losers. You can easily spot the winners – those smug creeps swanning around with a self-satisfied smile on their faces, like the cat that got the cream. They’re the ones who have flowers delivered to their office, or who already know they have been invited out for a ‘special treat’ on St. Val’s evening. The ones who got a hand-delivered cards or special delivery presents. Or the ones who woke up to find a saucy e- card had plopped into their in-box overnight. Yuck! “The rest of us, the so-called losers in love – will spend the day, superficially behaving as normal, acting as if we have better things to do than drink choice wines and eat romantic dinners by candle light. But deep down, we’ll be experiencing that mixture of jealousy and impotent rage that only comes on St. Valentine’s da...

It’s none of his business the number of partners you’ve ‘had’!

A young friend of mine recently met the man of her dreams. In the whirlwind courtship that followed, they quickly got round to the conversational games that lovers play.  And so it was that Mr. Right asked Miss Right; “How many men have you slept with? The sensible girl immediately reversed the question, to which ‘he answered ‘13’. She then replied with a circumspect ‘10’. “How many is it really?” I asked excitedly. `Somewhere between a hundred and a hundred and ten’, she said, not batting.an eye lid.  “So why did she say 10?” ` I just thought that whatever he said, mine should be less’. How brutally honest can you get? 100 to 110 guys in how many years?! This little story got me thinking what most latter day emotional, Shylock Holmes, think they are letting themselves in for when they seem bent on digging into past histories of their new lovers! It is a really funny question when you are faced with that kind of a quandary. “As a regular rule,” continued our woman-of...

This is "why some ladies cannot leave abusive relationships" - Alibaba speaks on ladies who see a man as a financial plan

Veteran comedian Alibaba has a message for women who think men are a financial plan and men who share the same thoughts. Read below and share your thoughts: “ This is what I should have sent to that extremely pretty lady I met in a Governor’s Lodge, in Abuja in 2009. When I say she was a beauty… I mean finer than Bianca OJUKWU . And as we got gisting and waited for Our Excellency to attend to us, she revealed that she had a 2.1 in Microbiology. At the time, I was a brand ambassador for Chivita (Hollandia). So I asked if she would like to work with Chivita. So I could call Mr BERI . She stood up and said “Why would I go and work with this kind of body?” I then asked why she studied so hard to make 2.1 and end up not wanting to work. She said “Bros, if them tell you say I study, so you go believe?”… she then dropped the bomb. She is not looking for a job. She is looking for a rich boy from a wealthy home, marry him, have kids, and if he misbehaves… “he go settle me and i go just wa...

When sleeping in separate rooms could save your marriage

 This morning, I woke up alone again, as I do every morning”, said Caroline, tongue in check. She was trying to make me see the importance of separate bedrooms to some fledgling marriages. She continued: “I nipped down to the kitchen to make a plate of hot buttered toast and brought it back to bed with me with a cup of tea. I switched on the TV, laid back and happily scattered crumbs all over the sheets without feeling guilty. “Ever since my husband and I decided to sleep in separate bedrooms some years ago, our marriage has been happier and more fulfilling than ever – we hadn’t had an argument, nor is our sex life a thing of the past. As I heard him make his way to the kitchen to fetch his own moin-moin and coffee, I smiled as I recalled our ‘date’ in his bedroom yesterday evening, which ended with a good night kiss before I tip-toed back to my own sanctuary!” Caroline is in some very good company. Sharing a marital bed is not as popular as it once was, she said. “I love my h...

4 red flags to watch out for in a relationship

When a relationship is doing more harm to you than good, it’s time to quit it. Jumia Travel shares 4 signs to help you determine when a relationship is doing more harm to you than good. ABUSE Be it physical or emotional abuse, any type of abuse is a glaring sign that you should quit the relationship. Please don’t be lenient with abuse or make excuses for it; simply let go and move on because abuse is one of the clearest ways to communicate a lack of care, love and respect for someone. Abuse does not go hand in hand with love, if anything they are polar opposites. Although, one thing to note here is that emotional abuse is more relative than physical abuse. For instance, there is arguably a degree of emotional abuse in every relationship. When you try to control your partner or influence them emotionally to act or behave in a certain way, by ignoring them (ignoring their calls, messages etc), refusing to talk to them (the silent treatment), being provocative with the other se...

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie shared some candid advice in the early hours of this morning. The movie star shared a photo of himself and his wife and in the caption of the photo urged young ladies to not always aim to marry rich men but to sometimes aim to grow and succeed with their men. He said: To the girls who want to marry only rich men, I don’t blame you at all. Times are hard and everybody wants financial security. But if your man isn’t rich but he loves you, loves God, hardworking, intelligent and has potentials for greatness, marry him. Support him, grow with him, and help him succeed. God will bless your union. #mystory

Escapades of doctors on duty

There are certain people you must not hide the truth from. They are not your spouse, parents or family members, yet, your relationship with them is so crucial such that you are bound to tell them the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, at all times, if your plan is to get the best out of the relationship. Indeed, whatever you say to them at any point can have great implications on your life and the opportunities they have to offer you. Your Doctor and your Lawyer are believed to be the closest individuals and professionals to you because of the services they offer. In fact, these two people may be likened to the Catholic Priest who listens to the confessions of the faithful, counsels them and dispatches them back into the world, to go and sin no more. It is to them that we run, when we suspect that there is trouble. We believe so much in them and their competence, that we swallow everything they offer us hook, line and sinker, without questions. Thus, we tend to lower...
