Over Sharing In Relationships. How Do You Cope by Nobody: 12:38pm On Feb 09, 2016
Over-sharing is a natural consequence when
regular sharing is deemed insufficient by the
sharer. It occurs when a partner shares all the activities in their lives. This feeling of insufficiency is exacerbated by a lack of feedback.


People are used to sharing their feelings, their
emotions, and their activities with their
partners mostly for validation:

Am I right about feeling this? , Should I do that? I'm with my friends, I'm talking with my parents, I ate rice and stew , I had a hair cut today , I went to class today ,Et cetera.

Personally I find this boring and unnecessary but I may be wrong tho


The question is how do you cope with such partners ?

actually, because of love u can tolerate a lot of things cry but if it becomes outrageous,I'll say its prudent to make your partner aware of the issue in order not to suffocate in the relationship. cool

this can occur out of insecurity. When your partner wants to know if she is doing the right thing?

She may feel unappreciated sad

This is another perspective.

You mean when your lady shares her activities with you, she is implying you don't trust her?

from ma experience,sharing things like these are not based on trust issues, sometimes she just want u to be fully knowledgeable of every activities concerning her in case of an unforeseen event, or if u might be confronted with a question concerning her,u won't be found lacking of an answer

Well I ain't a fan of this behaviour.

I love you, yes, but that doesn't mean I should run to you at every uncomfortable turn. I should be able to handle situations myself and carry on any responsibility independently. That's called being an adult.

But hey, that doesn't mean I won't talk to my boyfriend about things or share problems with him. His opinions too would be considered. But whatever decision arrived at would be totally mine.

The only situation I can wholly depend on him would be when it concerns the relationship and our future. Apart from that, it's a no no.

I won't complain. Might just tell him to stop only for him to believe that I do not want communication in the relationship. So no shakes. Just don't expect me to do same.
Re: Over Sharing In Relationships. How Do You Cope by Nobody: 3:36pm On Feb 11, 2016
I think its high time ladies started actively participating in and even guiding conversations with their boyfriends. If your guy has a routine of calling and drilling you with questions, then simply direct the flow of discussion next time he calls. The problem is that most Naija ladies lack the capacity to maintain intriguing conversations, thus after how are you and how was your day, they lapse into silence and allow the guy to fire a barrage of questions at them. Here's a revolutionary idea, for once be the one to call your boyfriend and talk about something interesting. Don't give him a chance to ask you what you ate and where/how you ate it cool

you are right to some extent tho. When topics are interesting then boredom will be out of it.

But this is about your girlfriend giving you every details of her activities, both necessary and unnecessary ones.

That's exactly what I'm saying. When I notice her habit of giving me unnecessary details, I'll simply segue when next she starts. Since she's not demanding for details about my life, it'll be easy to divert her attention to a different topic. Its all about tact. Telling her to quit telling me about her personal life may hurt her feelings, so I'll just nip any attempt in the bud stylishly. Hope you get the logic cool

i think you should learn to participate more, it elongates the discussion rather than respond with ok,kk or even kkk, if he's telling you all these things, obviously, he has you on his mind always, shows he's giving you a lot of attention, and you should appreciate it by responding well, if hes with his parents, you could ask, how the discussion went, what the outcome was, if he's eating, ask what he's eating or who cooked it, if he cooked it, you could even go further and say, you are sure the food isn't sweet or tasting good, you should learn to be open to conversations, if he's telling you all these things and he's not getting the right response, bae, that as it may, condition will be critical.

Partners should be friends, and sharing 'irrelevant information' is what friends do.

The world out there is tense enough. Heaven knows one isn't, perhaps shouldn't always be in the mood to discuss global warming and national and international politics. There should be time to share the little nothings. Me thinks it can be a channel through which partners not only bond, but one through which they de-stress.

#nice and fresh topic by the way.
