5 ways to make your girlfriend respect you

Respect in a relationship determines a lot.

When couples respect each other, the relationship will grow stronger with each passing day.

It’s important for both couples to have respect for each other.

Here are five ways to make your girlfriend respect you.

1. Be more independent

The act of depending on your parents or other family members is something that never works well when it comes to achieving respect from your girlfriend.

By being independent and not expecting the people around you to do everything for you, you will earn her respect.

2. Respect her even when she is not around

Respect should not just be present when someone is with you.

Rather, respect should be extended even when she is not around.

Disrespecting her when she is not around will make her change her perception of you and this might lead to losing her respect towards you.

3. Respect yourself

Don’t expect to be respected if you cannot respect yourself.

You can only earn your girlfriend’s respect if you prove to her that you respect yourself.

4. Keep your word

Be a man who keeps his word.

Girlfriends generally respect men who keep their word by accomplishing what they promised.

5. Be honest

Always be willing to tell her the truth no.

Even if the truth sometimes hurts, honesty remains to be an important ingredient in any relationship.

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
