LOVE...An Investment?🤔



Come to think of it, what is love?...Isn't it all about the time, gifts, attention you give to your partner. Every single thing you do for your partner either to win them over or keep them counts.
Isn't there an end goal or an expectation in doing all these? 
Don't we all expect that the more we give the more we will receive from our partners?
And what is an investment, isn't it the action of putting money, effort, time, etc. into something to make profit or get an advantage, or the money, effort, time, etc. used to do this. 
We however tend to convince ourselves that our actions are not essentially an investment but rather an expression of love.

We've all heard of  partners who've helped the other partner when they were not doing so well in life but get dumped when cette partner makes it big.
What happens? Can we say it's a case of falling out of love?..
It's just a case of poor communication between the partners.
Both parties should be really honest about their feelings and intentions.

Since most times the girl is the one being pursued;
 In case the dude is interested in something serious, hence the gestures, he should be able to make it completely clear to the girl so that there is no misinterpretation.
This way the girl will clearly understand the reason for the dudes gestures and not mistake them for him just being 'nice' or 'friendly'.
The girl is therefore supposed to tell the guy whether she is interested or not; if Yes, the dude can keep the gestures coming and ,if No, the dude should stop the gestures since they are never going to be reciprocated or lead to anything.

It's hard to say that, 'love is doing things for the one you love without expecting anything in return' because it nullifies the whole courtship stage where the partners engage in a romantic relationship with the end goal being either marriage or a long term relationship.

There are obviously two theories here about love;
  " love is an investment of feelings, emotions, efforts, time in the person one loves"
  " love is doing things for the one you love without expecting anything in return"

 Communication is key!😘

THE UNSPOKEN: The Abusive Relationship

This time I focus on much deeper issues in relationships that we are often trying to cover up and people rarely talk about them. Domestic violence is something that is often kept on the down low … no one talks about it. It is meant to be a silent suffering and speaking of it is abominable and is like ‘airing dirty laundry’.  In most cases, the victims are often the females In the victim’s perspective this is how it is……. The first time he hits you, he was not in a good mood, The second, it was a mistake; he did not mean it The third time, it was your fault The next time you’re sure he’ll change It never ends!! Action has to be taken before it gets too late and when so much damage has been done. So what can you do as the victim;…… Accept First you have to accept that what is happening is indeed domestic violence and that it is not right. The first stage of solving any problem is accepting that the problem is actually there. Stop making...

We all have those moments when you just don't know how someone really feels about you. One moment you're thinking, they are probably just playing hard to get then they do something that gets you thinking they are totally uninterested and that you should back out. So let's just get the facts right and clear all those doubts we all have. The key pointers can be spotted in these areas; Conversations It could be a phone call, text message or a face to face conversation, whichever it is.. you could pick up a lot. Let's see how.. playing hard to get: First of all, they are able to have small talk with you which is often quite difficult for most people. You could have a conversation which develops into an intimate one then they suddenly withdraw.

In a group c...

THE UNSPOKEN; The Abusive Relationship 2

In most relationships the abusers are men. They usually feel like they own women and therefore have a right to treat them as they wish. This is what they keep telling themselves... They provoked me It was their fault I was angry It's not a habit, happened just this once These are just excuses you tell yourself to justify your actions but this just makes things move from bad to worse. Here's what you should do; Accept You have to accept that what you are doing is not right and start looking at them as mistakes. Confront Face your mistakes and handle them. Lay the blame on yourself instead of the victim and reflect on why it happens and how to prevent it. Be remorseful  You have to apologize for your mistakes and show remorse by following up with an initiative or resolution to change. Seek help  You are eventually going to have to accept that you have a problem if it keeps on repeating itself and do something about it. You could go for ...
