Signs Your Relationship Won't Last Long




Perhaps you just got into a new relationship, or you’ve been dating someone for a while, but either way, you’ve found yourself feeling a bit worried about your future together, looking for signs your relationship won’t last. 

You probably feel your partner is pulling away a little, or maybe your passion for each other is beginning to fade. Or you just have weird feeling deep down in your gut that something isn’t right and you don’t even really know why.

4 signs your relationship won’t last long

1. Your passion for each other is fading
When you feel your passion for your man or even just your passion for everything in general fading, then you know you’ve got a real issue to deal with. Also, if your man seems like he has lost interest in doing things he once enjoyed, that could be a sign, because it shows that he (or if it’s in your case, you) no longer really care. When your guy no longer has preferences, it usually means he has one foot out the door already.
2. He goes hot and cold on you
This is a huge sign that your guy might be getting ready to check out of your relationship. If you’re constantly confused about where you stand with him or how he feels about you, that’s definitely a problem. It doesn’t show that he’s on the fence about things, but it’s also frustrating for you if one week he seems cold and distant, and the next he’s showing you all of the affection in the world.

3. You fight more often than before
The occasional fight or disagreement is very normal, but increased (and frequent) fighting especially over issues that seem small and petty can be a red flag for sure. If your partner picks a lot of fights with you, it could be a sign of some greater unhappiness. Most times, if someone is being extremely argumentative about minor things, they are holding onto deeper issues that they’re struggling with.

 
4. He sseems distant and withdrawn
If your guy seems distant or withdrawn from you lately, it just might be that he’s going through a rough time — maybe work has been stressful lately, or there’s some family drama going on behind-the-scenes. But, his distance from you could also be an indication that he’s no longer truly happy or invested in your relationship anymore, especially if he doesn’t seem very present or thoughtful when he’s with you. It might be a tell tale sign that he is feeling smothered or not happy in the relationship.

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

It’s Dangerous to use broom to mash ‘ewedu,’ Gastroenterologist warns

Using a small bunch of broomsticks, known as ijabe, to mash ewedu (mallow-leaves) is very common among Nigerians when preparing the slimy soup. However, medical experts have said that the age-old practice is actually fraught with dangers. Ewedu is also known as Rama ayoyo  among Hausa, while the Igbo call it Kerenkere. Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee
