Romance / 13 Early Signs You May Be Pregnant by Realwvn(m): 6:17pm On Jan 24, 2016
What are the earliest signs of pregnancy? Although many of these factors occur at the end of your cycle, they’re also pregnancy symptoms.

Wondering if you’ve got a baby on board? Pay close attention to your body! And if you spot a few of the following symptoms — and your period is MIA — it may be time to head to the drugstore or schedule an appointment with your ob-gyn. “The hormones released as soon as you conceive may start causing subtle changes even before they’re detectable on a home pregnancy test,” says Melissa Goist, MD, clinical assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Ohio State University Medical Center. Unfortunately many, like sore breasts or bloating, also happen right before your period (a sure sign that you’re not pregnant), so it’s all a guessing game until you take a test.

Early Pregnancy Signs: Sore Breasts

This is a very common pregnancy symptom, says Goist. “Breast tissue is extremely hormone-sensitive,” she explains. “When progesterone and hCG start flooding the body after the egg is fertilized, they increase your blood volume, which makes your breasts swell and feel heavier than usual.”

Early Pregnancy Signs: Cramps

You may feel crampy like you have or are about to get your period, but this pregnancy sign is actually triggered by implantation — when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall. Your uterus may be stretching a little now (hence the cramps) to prep for its massive expansion over the next nine months.

Early Pregnancy Signs: Spotting

“Many women mistake some light bleeding for a period, but as many as 25 percent will have some spotting during implantation,” says Goist. If you notice that your “period” seems way shorter or different from usual, it may be a sign of pregnancy.

Early Pregnancy Signs: Fatigue

There’s tired, and then there’s this: If all you can think about at work is taking a nap or if you’re too exhausted to keep up with everyday activities like hitting the gym, then it may be your body one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. “Even at this early stage of pregnancy — within two weeks of conception — your baby is starting to use up your calories, which can wipe out your energy stores pretty quickly,” says Goist.

Early Pregnancy Signs: Nipple Darkening

Are the boobs are looking a little different these days? Pregnancy hormones also affect the activity of melanocytes, or cells in the nipples responsible for their color. “Darker-complexioned women may not notice this until later in pregnancy — say, around 10 weeks or so,”

Early Pregnancy Signs: Nausea

While full-blown morning sickness — which affects up to 85 percent of all preggos — likely won’t strike for a few more weeks, some women may experience more subtle motion sickness as an early pregnancy symptom. “I’ve had patients tell me they’d suddenly get queasy from reading in the car or would feel sick during flights,”

Early Pregnancy Signs: Bloating

Can’t zip up those skinny jeans? Ramped-up levels of progesterone slow down your digestive track and may make your tummy feel puffier than usual. (This also happens during PMS, notes Goist, but bloating stops when your period arrives, causing progesterone levels to plummet.) If the bloating doesn’t go away — and your period never comes — start watching for that stick to turn pink.

Early Pregnancy Signs: Peeing More Often

Getting up for more bathroom breaks may be the result of your kidneys starting to kick into overdrive during early pregnancy; they have to flush out fluid more efficiently during pregnancy. (Watch out for this one at the end of pregnancy too — but then it’s more due to your gigundo uterus pressing on your bladder.)

Early Pregnancy Signs: Cravings

At this point, you’re more likely jonesing for a jumbo bagel than pickles or Rocky Road. “Your overtired body may demand extra carbs now because they’re easily metabolized, which helps keep energy levels up,”

Early Pregnancy Signs: Headaches

Increasing blood volume may trigger frequent but mild tension headaches in the first few weeks of pregnancy, but this sign of pregnancy should let up as your body adjusts to elevated hormone levels.

Early Pregnancy Signs: Constipation

The same hormones responsible for bloating are also behind your potty problems. Because your digestive track is slowing down now, says Goist, food may not pass through as quickly. This symptom will likely ramp up even more (sorry) as your pregnancy progresses.
Early Pregnancy Signs: Mood Swings

“As levels of hCG hormones increase, you’re feeling massive amounts of fatigue, which makes you more prone to moodiness,” says Goist. Plus, um, that stellar combo of headaches, bloating, constipation and breast pain — need we say more?

Early Pregnancy Signs: Basal Body Temperature

Measuring BBT — your oral temperature first thing in the morning — is usually used to indicate when you’re ovulating. It’s typically about half a degree or more higher or so when an egg is released and remains elevated until you get your period. So if you’re charting BBT and notice it hasn’t decreased in more than two weeks, it may mean you’ve got a baby on the way. FYI: You’ll need a special digital basal thermometer (try drugstore.com or amazon.com) to do this; it’s more precise than normal fever-measuring thermometers.

Health / Whitenicious: The S.I Unit Of Cancer by Realwvn(m): 9:40am On Jan 19, 2016
To start with, I would love to use the words of Malik ‘Malcolm X’ El-Shabazz to buttress the whole purpose of this article, though his philosophy was atrociously racist and ludicrously violent, but towards the end of his life he apologized for many of his statements and paid for it with his life.

‘’who taught you to hate the color of your skin? Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin to such extent that you bleach to get like the white man? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to? Who taught you to hate being what God made you?’’

A study recently revealed that 77% of Lagosians bleached their skin due to self-hate and low self-esteem.
In the slavery age, the lighter skinned slaves worked in their masters house while the darker skinned worked on the fields; hence this showed a level of inferiority.

For many years black people suffered not only physically but mentally as well. What you are seeing today in our society is a reflection of the slavery mentality.

“A small lie condemns a man”; one of the highlights of that quote is our Nigerian/Cameroonian upcoming pop artiste, Dencia, who initially said her ‘whitenicious’ was just a spot remover. After much dispute on social media concerning the functions of her product, she later told Ebony Tv in an interview that the cream could actually bleach the skin if used excessively.

The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool (in other words, do not let your life spam be reduced to the barest because of people who wants to make a few bucks from your cadaver.

I once read a story of a woman who died and found herself on heaven’s gate, but unfortunately, she was out rightly rejected because she had bleached so much no one could recognize her. The thing is, you may have dark patches and discoloration on your skin, but trust me it’s nothing compared to cancer.

Hydroquinone, a carcinogenic agent, is one of the main substance used in a bleaching cream which can cause cancer.

Another common ingredient found in bleaching products is clobeteso – a potent conticosteriod which can cause infertility in a woman – it could also cause weight loss, episodes of thrush, yeast infection and other health problems.

A certain Thailand dermatologist, Dr Jinda Rojjamanathin warns that bleaching cream contains a high amount of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) which could lead to liver damage or even cause blindness if applied too close to the eye.

Playing with the colour tone of your skin, could mean playing with your life. Love that person that you are because you were fearfully and wonderfully made by your Creator.

I really dont comment on threads but I felt obliged to share a word with you before you make any rash decision from the comments above and possibly below

From what I read, you just started seeing this girl and you want to kick off immediately, I dont know your reason for that but you dont force love, you need to let it happen naturally

You don't even know if she is shy to talk you as you are just in the primary stages of your relationship or she really doesn't know how to spell

If she has decided to date you then you should not take it for granted, I recommend you wait or double date if you are Hot, cos I read Hot too in your thread

Thank you

Crime / Exxonmobil Engineer Brutally Rapes Teenager, Gives Her N1,000 To Console Her by Realwvn(m): 3:07pm On Jan 13, 2016
A staff of Mobil Producing Nigeria (ExxonMobil), a multinational oil and gas corporation, identified simply as James, has allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

James, an engineer, who is also the landlord of the house where the victim’s guardians live, gave the girl N1, 000 to pacify her after the incident and cautioned her against revealing what transpired between them, The Punch reports.

On the contrary, the three-year-old daughter of the tenant, who witnessed the rape, was said to have exposed the suspect and the case was subsequently reported at the Langbasa Police Division from where the victim was taken to a medical centre in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

According to reports, the test result showed that there was a forceful penetration, while semen was also recovered from the victim’s private parts.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect had been arrested and the case transferred to Zone 2 Command, Onikan.

She said, “The police have arrested the man and he has been taken to Zone 2 because a petition was also sent to Zone 2 on the matter.”

Meanwhile, a human rights organization, Women Association of The Good People, which reportedly took up the case, urged the authorities to give justice to the victim.

The group in a statement said the incident happened last Monday while the tenant, who was the victim’s uncle, was away from home.

“On Monday, January 4, 2016, Mr. James, who works with ExxonMobil and who is also a landlord of a property on the Lagos Island, raped a 14-year-old who happened to be the niece of his tenant.

“He decided to visit the home of his tenant who had advised him earlier that they wouldn’t be at home. Only the 14-year-old niece and their three-year-old daughter were at home on that faithful day.

“James knocked on the door of the flat and was attended to by the 14-year-old who told the landlord that her uncle and aunt were not home. He, however, insisted on entering the home of his tenant to wait for them.

“The naive girl, who had only been in Lagos for three weeks, opened the door and allowed him in,” the statement added.

The suspect was said to have checked round the house and realizing that the victim’s custodians were not at home, he was said to have started a conversation with the victim, asking for her name, age and other details.

“James pushed the young girl on the bed and, while she tried to scream, he covered her mouth and forcefully had his way with her in the presence of the three-year-old.

“In a bid to console her after the act, he gave her N1, 000 and left.

“Her aunt came home and met her hysterical and inconsolable. After asking repeatedly what happened and the girl was unable to answer, the three-year-old daughter recounted the story to her mother, saying, ‘Mummy, landlord came, he pushed ‘the unidentified’ on the bed and he do like this…like this… on top of her,’ describing to her mum and innocently recreating the movements she saw,” the statement added.

A medical report was said to have been obtained the following morning, which confirmed a case of rape.

The woman (the victim’s aunt) was said to have reported to her husband, before the case was reported at the police station.

The suspect was, however, said to be at large and did not respond to police invitation.

The statement further read, “As of January 8, James failed to report to the police station at 9am as he had promised. Instead, he called the victim’s family (his tenants) repeatedly and tried to convince them to meet him. His calls prior to this were threats to evict them.

“We are concerned citizens saddened by the incident, which numerous bodies are also aware of. But the suspect is yet to be apprehended,” the statement said.

The Manager, Media and Communications, Mobil Producing Nigeria, Oge Udeagha, reacting to the claims against its staff, said the company was aware of the matter.

An email from Udeagha reads in part, “Mobil Producing Nigeria, operator of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC/MPN Joint Venture, confirms that the police authorities on January 11, 2016, notified it of an alleged case of defilement brought against one of our personnel that is unrelated to his duties with the company.

“MPN promptly notified the employee of the police invitation and advised he make himself available to the authorities as requested.

“MPN has the highest regards for the law and has offered assurances of our full support with investigations, if required, to police authorities. We understand he is already cooperating with the police.”

Crime / Graphic Photo: Thugs Shoot Popular Policeman, Karzery Sarz Dead In Lag by Realwvn(m): 11:26am On Jan 11, 2016
Hoodlums in the Agege area of Lagos state yesterday Jan. 10th shot dead a police corporal identified as Sunday David aka Karzery Sarz (pictured above) attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command.

According to the Tribune, the police officer was allegedly killed in retaliation for killing two people in the area during a protest. Residents of the area say trouble started when an internet fraudster simply identified as Obey was accosted by some street urchins and asked to give them some money.

When he could not satisfy their demand and they in turn will not allow him go, the fraudster called on the police officer for help. On getting to the scene of the incident, the police officer shot into the air, some report say he shot into the crowd, hitting two of the street urchins named Sulaimon and Segun, who died.

The policeman and the ‘Yahoo Boy’ tried to escape in a car but the angry street urchins chased them in a motorbike, caught up with them and killed both men.

Speaking on the incident, the Lagos state police spokesperson, Joe Offor, confirmed the incident but denied claims that the deceased killed two people. He said further investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Romance / Please Help Me ! My Husband Doesn’t Eat At Home Again by Realwvn(m): 9:17pm On Jan 03, 2016
Hi NNR, my husband and I got married years ago, and I’ve started to cook for him since then, he doesn’t even eat outside

Sometimes I marvel at the way he runs back from work to eat my food, other times, he calls me to prepare something edible for him or bring it down to the office if I am not busy with the kids

However, things are now taking a shocking turn, he doesn’t eat at home again, everytime I offer him he’ll decline my meals and whenever I ask him why, he will say he ate already at the eatery close to his office

I feel really bad because I know a wife should cook for her husband from time to time. But i don’t know what to do since he doesn’t want to eat it.

Initially, I thought I must have offended him but he told me I never did and he is not eating the food at home as much as he likes because everyone at his office now buys from the fastfood

But now I am starting to get worried because he’ll make little comments about how hungry he is, but I tell him I cooked! Everyday.

I need your advice, is he eating from another woman or something else is happening?

Please if you have similar experience share your views

Matured advice only !

Nairaland / General / 10 Types Of People You Should Avoid This Year by Realwvn(m): 10:18am On Jan 01, 2016
Toxic people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact that they have on those around them, and others seem to derive satisfaction from creating chaos and pushing other people’s buttons.

As important as it is to learn how to deal with different kinds of people, truly toxic people will never be worth your time and energy—and they take a lot of each. Toxic people create unnecessary complexity, strife, and, worst of all, stress.You can’t hope to distance yourself from toxic people until you first know who they are. The trick is to separate those who are annoying or simply difficult from those who are truly toxic. What follows are ten types of toxic drainers that you should stay away from at all costs so that you don’t become one yourself.

1. The Gossip

“Great minds discuss ideas, average ones discuss events, and small minds discuss people.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Gossipers derive pleasure from other people’s misfortunes. It might be fun to peer into somebody else’s personal or professional faux pas at first, but over time, it gets tiring, makes you feel gross, and hurts other people. There are too many positives out there and too much to learn from interesting people to waste your time talking about the misfortune of others.

2. The Temperamental

Some people have absolutely no control over their emotions. They will lash out at you and project their feelings onto you, all the while thinking that you’re the one causing their malaise. Temperamental people are tough to dump from your life because their lack of control over their emotions makes you feel bad for them. When push comes to shove though, temperamental people will use you as their emotional toilet and should be avoided at all costs.

3. The Victim

Victims are tough to identify because you initially empathize with their problems. But as time passes, you begin to realize that their “time of need” is all the time. Victims actively push away any personal responsibility by making every speed bump they encounter into an uncrossable mountain. They don’t see tough times as opportunities to learn and grow from; instead, they see them as an out. There’s an old saying: “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.” It perfectly captures the toxicity of the victim, who chooses to suffer every time.

4. The Self-Absorbed

Self-absorbed people bring you down through the impassionate distance they maintain from other people. You can usually tell when you’re hanging around self-absorbed people because you start to feel completely alone. This happens because as far as they’re concerned, there’s no point in having a real connection between them and anyone else. You’re merely a tool used to build their self-esteem.

5. The Envious

To envious people, the grass is always greener somewhere else. Even when something great happens to envious people, they don’t derive any satisfaction from it. This is because they measure their fortune against the world’s when they should be deriving their satisfaction from within. And let’s face it, there’s always someone out there who’s doing better if you look hard enough. Spending too much time around envious people is dangerous because they teach you to trivialize your own accomplishments.

6. The Manipulator

Manipulators suck time and energy out of your life under the façade of friendship. They can be tricky to deal with because they treat you like a friend. They know what you like, what makes you happy, and what you think is funny, but the difference is that they use this information as part of a hidden agenda. Manipulators always want something from you, and if you look back on your relationships with them, it’s all take, take, take, with little or no giving. They’ll do anything to win you over just so they can work you over.

7. The Dementor

In J. K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, Dementors are evil creatures that suck people’s souls out of their bodies, leaving them merely as shells of humans. Whenever a Dementor enters the room, it goes dark, people get cold, and they begin to recall their worst memories. Rowling said that she developed the concept for Dementors based on highly negative people—the kind of people who have the ability to walk into a room and instantly suck the life out of it.

Dementors suck the life out of the room by imposing their negativity and pessimism upon everyone they encounter. Their viewpoints are always glass half empty, and they can inject fear and concern into even the most benign situations. A Notre Dame University study found that students assigned to roommates who thought negatively were far more likely to develop negative thinking and even depression themselves.

8. The Twisted

There are certain toxic people who have bad intentions, deriving deep satisfaction from the pain and misery of others. They are either out to hurt you, to make you feel bad, or to get something from you; otherwise, they have no interest in you. The only good thing about this type is that you can spot their intentions quickly, which makes it that much faster to get them out of your life.

9. The Judgmental

Judgmental people are quick to tell you exactly what is and isn’t cool. They have a way of taking the thing you’re most passionate about and making you feel terrible about it. Instead of appreciating and learning from people who are different from them, judgmental people look down on others. Judgmental people stifle your desire to be a passionate, expressive person, so you’re best off cutting them out and being yourself.

10. The Arrogant

Arrogant people are a waste of your time because they see everything you do as a personal challenge. Arrogance is false confidence, and it always masks major insecurities. A University of Akron study found that arrogance is correlated with a slew of problems in the workplace. Arrogant people tend to be lower performers, more disagreeable, and have more cognitive problems than the average person.

How to Protect Yourself Once You Spot ’Em

Toxic people drive you crazy because their behavior is so irrational. Make no mistake about it—their behavior truly goes against reason, so why do you allow yourself to respond to them emotionally and get sucked into the mix?

The more irrational and off-base someone is, the easier it should be for you to remove yourself from their traps. Quit trying to beat them at their own game. Distance yourself from them emotionally, and approach your interactions with them like they’re a science project (or you’re their shrink if you prefer that analogy). You don’t need to respond to the emotional chaos—only the facts.

Maintaining an emotional distance requires awareness. You can’t stop someone from pushing your buttons if you don’t recognize when it’s happening. Sometimes you’ll find yourself in situations where you’ll need to regroup and choose the best way forward. This is fine, and you shouldn’t be afraid to buy yourself some time to do so.

Most people feel as though because they work or live with someone, they have no way to control the chaos. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Once you’ve identified a toxic person, you’ll begin to find their behavior more predictable and easier to understand. This will equip you to think rationally about when and where you have to put up with them and when and where you don’t. You can establish boundaries, but you’ll have to do so consciously and proactively. If you let things happen naturally, you’re bound to find yourself constantly embroiled in difficult conversations. If you set boundaries and decide when and where you’ll engage a difficult person, you can control much of the chaos. The only trick is to stick to your guns and keep boundaries in place when the person tries to cross them, which they will.

Have you run into any of these toxic types of people? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below as I learn just as much from you as you do from me.

Nairaland / General / 9 Sure Ways To Waste Your Time Online This Year by Realwvn(m): 10:10am On Jan 01, 2016
Students at the pennyslavia university will be taking a new course this year about wasting time on the internet. That’s right. Wasting time on the internet.

Part of the coursework will require the students to stare at the computer screen for hours and interact solely through the chatrooms and social media. The students have been assured that aimless drifting is mandatory.
Taking a course about wasting time on the internet is probably a waste of time, but it’s not the only way you could waste your time. Besides, wasting time is perhaps not always a bad thing, because sometimes you simply have free time to spend in between classes or after the day’s work. So if you’re in Nigeria and you have some free time, here are nine things you could do to waste it all online this year.

1. Look at Maheeda’s pictures (or whoever will be posting erotic pictures this year)
Bloggers love to publish erotic photos of famous people trying to “break the internet”, because that sort of thing drives traffic. Anything sexual drives traffic. So the bloggers get the clicks because people want to see Maheeda’s boobs or Tiwa Savage twerking on a random fan or Flavour baring his chest. So if you have free time to burn, take a gander.

2. Read about beefs.
Seriously, by now everyone knows that reading about celebrity beefs is a waste of everyone’s time. Everyone except the people fighting.
Firstly, the people having a beef and what they’re having a beef about doesn’t concern us or contribute to our life in any meaningful way. Secondly, they’re probably just going to hug and have a beer together again within a short time, if they aren’t already doing so secretly. Thirdly, they get to benefit from the publicity that the fight generates and they stay relevant in the news. It’s simply amazing how some fans keenly talk about and follow celebrity beefs like they’re going get to get paid for it.

3. Argue about politics
How many hours did we spend last year arguing about Jonathan or APC or some other political issue? Did we gain anything?
Arguing about politics is one of the most time-wasting things to do on the internet in this country. Let’s face it. Those arguments simply lead nowhere. They’re often very pointless and deficient. Anyhow, this story is about how to waste your time online.

4. Read your Facebook and Twitter timeline fervently
Some people constantly check their Facebook or Twitter to see if they can get any useful information from the updates their friends are posting. But we all know that hardly anyone is sharing useful information these days on Facebook or Twitter. People talk mostly about themselves. Most times they just vent about how terrible the government is or how they’re going to puke or some thousand other things that are totally irrelevant to our life. But who says reading about irrelevant things is not a great way to waste time on the internet?

5. Watch Dorobucci or Johnny (or whatever song people rave about this year)
Last year Dorobucci got over 4 million views on YouTube while Yemi Alade’s Johnny got more than 11 million views. Doing the maths, it means we spent about 1 million hours last year watching these two fun videos alone.
Imagine how many millions of hours we wasted last year watching music videos online and what we could have accomplished if we collectively spent that time collaborating on something productive. But the truth is, to imagine that is probably even a waste of time.

6. Keep up with the news daily.
Everyday, news websites throw us links to stories that we probably don’t NEED to read. But we read them anyway because we want to while away the time and keep up with the news. But mostly we do it to pass the time because when we click the links, we often don’t really read the stories with much interest. We just skim through. Never mind we don’t really digest 95% of the news we read online. They’re not useful to us anyway.

7. Read pointless stories about how to waste your time online.
Okay, what are you doing right now?

8. Write a blog post about change.
If people just took 1% of the time they spent writing about change and spent it on actually CHANGING something, this country would be a million times better than it is right now. But it’s easier to write about change than to actually change something, and if you’re like most people, you’re probably sick of reading about change already.

9. Follow some very silly competitions

Okay, does anyone remember that Doro Mega Super Star graphic design competition from last year?
That’s the end of the discussion.

Question: I adore one of my friend’s wife. She is genuinely a nice person. But my wife is quite harsh towards her. She keeps on commenting on her lifestyle and has told her on her face how her inability to cook will help another woman to woo her husband’s heart. I have started telling my wife to refrain from some mean comments, but now she has started suspecting that I hold special feelings for her. I am confused how to handle this situation.

Travel / 15 Year Old Nigerian Becomes Youngest American Female To Pilot Plane by Realwvn(m): 1:12pm On Dec 21, 2015
She departed with a dream and returned home a record-breaker.

Inspired by the Tuskeegee Airmen, 15-year-old Kimberly Anyadike flew a single-engine Cessna cross-country from her hometown of Compton, Calif., to Newport News, Va.

Anyadike is thought to be the youngest African American female pilot to complete the journey, which took 13 days. She arrived home in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 11.

Anyadike learned to fly at age 12 through the Compton-based Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum, which offers aviation lessons in an after-school program for disadvantaged youths, the Los Angeles Times reported. It was their plane that she flew on her cross-country trip.

The brave teenager came up with the idea for the trip on her own, the museum’s founder, Robert Petgrave, told the Times.

“I told her it was going to be a daunting task, but she just said, ‘Put it on. I got big shoulders,’” Petgrave said.

Along for the historic ride were an adult safety pilot and 87-year-old Levi Thornhill, one of the Tuskeegee Airmen during World War II.

“They left such a great legacy,” Anyadike said of the U.S. Army Air Corps’ all-black combat unit. “I had big shoes to fill. … All they wanted to do was to be patriots for this country. They were told no, that they were stupid, that they didn’t have cognitive development to fly planes. They didn’t listen. They just did what they wanted to do.”

About 50 Tuskeegee Airmen autographed the young pilot’s plane during her journey, the Times reported.

“I wanted to inspire other kids to really believe in themselves,” Anyadike said.

Romance / 8 Alarming Signs Of A Desperate Woman by Realwvn(m): 9:39am On Dec 17, 2015
Are you in a schizophrenic relationship? Sometimes things are going great. Sometimes it all falls apart. One moment she’s making you dinner, and the next she’s on the floor bawling. What’s going on? Maybe you’ve gotten mixed up with a desperate woman.

This type of woman is completely dependent on you for her emotional well-being. She needs you to bolster her self esteem, and she’s terrified you might leave. Everything she does is designed to make you stay and get you to focus on her. If you think your girlfriend is desperate, look for these 8 signs.

If you think your girlfriend is desperate, look for these 8 signs

#1. She has intractable plans for your relationship

Your girlfriend is expecting you to be in the same emotional place that she is. She wants you to commit early and often. She will profess love and devotion to you after just a short time. She may even tell others that you two are much more committed than you really are. When she loves you before she’s had time to know you, it’s a sure sign that she’s more interested in snagging a husband than in developing a real relationship.

#2. She’s OK with forgetting the contraceptives

Remember that a desperate woman has a goal of husband and family, which she feels she needs for fulfillment. If she can trap you into a marriage with an unexpected pregnancy, she’ll be happy to do it. This plan can only end in tragedy if she keeps it a secret from you.

She’s OK with forgetting contraceptives

#3. She adopts your life, opinions, and friends as her own

The desperate woman will act as if she had no life before you came along. She will agree with your every opinion, adopt your concerns and interests, and participate in your life as if she always has. She’ll become best friends with your friends and try to turn them into her advocates. She’s trying to make herself completely unobjectionable to you. She behaves this way because, initially, it works. She inserts herself into your life without your realizing it.

#4. She dresses to draw attention

As part of her constant attempts for affection, she will dress provocatively even when it’s not appropriate. This is another way to fish for compliments, by showing a lot of skin and enjoying the leers of those around her.

she will dress provocatively

#5. She’s had lots of boyfriends and none of them have measured up

She will spend a lot of time talking about the deficiencies of her previous boyfriends. She’ll outline how they refused to support her or pay attention to her. She’ll make you feel good by comparing you favorably to those troglodytes. But she’s really just trying to flatter you into being the kind of man she wants.

#6. She has a problem being alone

If she can’t spend even one evening alone, then she’s extremely insecure. It’s a clear sign that she’s completely dependent on others for her self worth. She’ll also be constantly on the phone or texting people. She’ll constantly call and text you as well.

She has a problem being alone

#7. She fawns over you

The desperate woman constantly does you favors and buys you gifts. She bakes for you, cleans your house and buys you new clothes. All this is great unless it’s inappropriate for the stage of relationship you’re in. The nice things you two do for each other should be a give and take, not a constant fawning on her part. She’s using these continuous unrequested favors to set up an obligation for you to love her.

#8. She’s desperate for affection from others

She will not only want constant affirmation from you, but also from her friends, her boss and even her pets. She’ll fish for compliments. She’ll be disproportionately upset when she doesn’t get a stream of affection from whomever she’s around.

The desperate woman can be hard to spot because she’s good at making herself attractive. However, if you see some red flags now in your relationship, it may be time to move on before you get too deeply involved.

Family / My Wife Slept With Another Man, What Should I Do? by Realwvn(m): 9:50pm On Dec 15, 2015
My wife and I had been married 15 years and we had been through some challenging times like most couples. Our sex life was regular but my wife was never really willing to explore things in the bedroom and whilst I desired her to be more adventurous l accepted it.

I had bought some toys but she seemed aghast at thought of using them. I received a promotion at work and the demands of the role meant longer hours at work and often compiling reports late into the night. During this time I noted my wife gradually spending more time on the computer on social media mainly with her group of close friends. Over a 6 month period she stayed up later and later and I would tell her to come to bed but eventually fall asleep. Not long after this she told me her and a friend were going to another state to visit a work colleague. Given l was busy at work l thought a good chance to catch up over the weekend. So the wife went and returned and said she had a great time and caught up with some old and new friends so l was happy for her. She soon returned to staying up late and noticeably seemed consumed by her mobile. this continued and a month or so later I had a conference out of town and asked if wife wanted to come for the few days but she said she would get bored. So this came and went and it appeared my wife was losing interest in sex.

One day out of curiosity l decided to check the home computer and in checking the history l found the previous night an adult web site had been accessed. I didn’t think much of it but a few days later same thing so I asked wife and she said it was prob just a pop up she may have accidentally accessed.

The history log was wiped from thereafter. I could never see my wife having an affair but it began to eat at me thus l downloaded some spyware. The results stunned me as l found my wife was . I accessed emails and pics and found my wife had spent a weekend not with a friend but with a guy who she spent all weekend sleeping with. Explicit pics showed her being a total dirty slut and the guy was very well endowed and noticeably much thicker than I. He had also travelled and slept with her in our bed whilst l was on the conference.

I love her so much, I have forgiven her but the thought of it can’t make me go near her again.. I don’t know what to do, I am scared of starting over with another woman again or being alone

Pets / Photos: Chronicles Of A Rat Killer: See What This Guy Did To A Rat by Realwvn(m): 10:47am On Dec 11, 2015
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet – my room has been an habitation for thieves and cowards, they hide in the morning and come out at dusk

I have been planning on how to evacuate this thief out of my room for months now, I did a lot of chasing before I realised I had suddenly become a rat too. It wasn’t an easy test, I finally succumbed to watch things roll over, maybe wait for the bros till he gets old and die

This one doesn’t eat rat poison, if you like add indocide to suya, set a trap or anything, you are wasting your time

However, it just happened yesterday. let me take you guys back a bit, this bros room is the safest place and dangerous place for anyone to live in, how it finds the solace to sleep inside a live socket is beyond me

One of the days we were doing our hide and seek, the bastard came out of its dwelling, i quickly dashed to the kitchen to get a knife and ripped the wire open, unfortunately, Nepa didn’t give us light for days but the good news is, they restored our light this morning and I saw this devil electrocuted

I feel so sorry for it, what PHCN did is devastating and diabolic, this is animal cruelty, someone needs to stand up for this poor rat

I will be leaving it on the crime scene for hours, so the colleagues can see how cruel PHCN are and never come back here

Romance / Please Advice Me ! How Do I Get My Ex Back? by Realwvn(m): 8:08pm On Dec 07, 2015
My girlfriend and I were dating for almost 4 years before we broke up. We were living together and everything was fine. We even have a 3 year old daughter.

In the last year or so in our relationship I starting going out too much and hanging out with my friends a lot more. I would leave them at home while I would have “fun.” I would always ask her if I could go out and she would say that she didn’t mind, or she would give me a simple no.

Things got worse and worse. When she traveled, I had nothing to do but go out with my friends. I will admit that I do flirt with other girls, but NOTHING comes out of it. I always knew that I’m going home alone and thats that! Well, she looked through my cell phone and saw text messages between my friend and I about me dancing with some other girl and how he and I were joking about it. She wasn’t happy. She said that this was the last straw and she broke up with me.

Now, here we are 5 months later and I am trying to work things out. It didn’t help my case one bit that I would go out every weekend after she and I broke up and I partied all the time, (But, nothing out of control to where it becomes a drinking problem).

She is saying that she has issues trusting me and that she will never know if this will work. My main concern is our daughter. I don’t want her to be raised without both parents and yes, I do love my ex a lot!

I want this to work out between us. For the past month and a half I have been over at my old house, (She lives there now with our daughter), and I’m spending a lot more time. She is more accepting of me touching her, (Rubbing her back, scratching her head), but nothing sexual. I feel that something is going in the right direction, and, when I ask her, she still says that she doesn’t know, and that is the confusing part.

Am I reading too much into all of this? I want to go to counseling with her, but, she doesn’t have the time because she has a very busy work schedule. I keep asking her to get something going, but to no avail.

What can I do to get her to know that this can work again? I really don’t want my daughter raised by anybody else but us two. I am honestly trying my hardest to stop going out. I haven’t been going out since I started hanging out with her more.

What are my options? I sometimes feel we are moving in the right direction, but sometimes I feel dead in the water.

Nairaland / General / 24 Ways To Finish The Year Off Right by Realwvn(m): 4:38pm On Dec 07, 2015
Every year, we resolve to be a different person starting on January 1st. But why wait until the New Year takes hold to start making positive changes? This year, challenge yourself to end the year strong, rather than pitting your personal development on a vague point in time in the future. There’s still enough time left to turn this year around – or at the least, to finish it with pride.

1. Donate twenty-five personal belongings.

By the end of the year we have accumulated a lot of junk. Pick twenty-five items: be they books, articles of clothing or household objects that you can live without, and donate them to a good cause. You won’t miss the clutter heading into the new year, and you’ll rest easier knowing that someone else is putting them to good use.

2. Make a list of the fifteen best things you did this year.

365 days is a long stretch of time – long enough for us to forget our own accomplishments and triumphs throughout. Sit down and write a list of every tiny victory you’ve encountered in the past year – fifteen at a minimum, infinity at a maximum. You may be surprised at all the tiny mountains you’ve conquered over the past twelve months, without ever recognizing them as such.

3. Make a list of five things you wish you’d done this year, but didn’t.

Just as we have to take notice of our triumphs, we also ought to take notice of the places where we sold ourselves short. Make a list of what you meant to accomplish this year, but never got around to. And then ask yourself how you’re going to make sure you make it happen now.

4. Extend a genuine and heartfelt ‘Thank You’ to the people who got you through the year.

Think of all your lowest points throughout the year. Ask yourself who was still standing beside you in those moments. And then let those people know exactly how much they’ve meant to you. Those who help us with an open heart often aren’t aware of how much of an impact they have – so it’s our job to let them know. And to give them the thanks they deserve.

5. Sever the ties you know you ought to.

The person you need to let go of. The job that you need to stop working. The situation that has been dragging you down throughout the year – it’s time to make the affirmative decision to let it all go. Why bring your baggage into the new year? If cutting off ties is going to hurt, let it hurt now. And let the new year be a place where you start over.

6. Apologize for all of the mistakes you made this year.

There’s no time like the year’s end to take accountability for what you did wrong along the way. Take this opportunity to own up and make amends with anyone you hurt over the past twelve months. It’s never to late to say you’re sorry. And you may just be giving somebody the exact closure they need heading into the New Year.

7. Forgive others for the mistakes they made this year.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean welcoming someone back into your life. It doesn’t even necessarily mean contacting them again. It just means making the conscious decision to let go of any anger, resentment and blame that you’ve been holding onto. It means accepting that we’re all fallible people, and allowing ourselves to head into the new year with peace in relation to that fact, rather than fury.

8. Accept the failures you encountered this year.

It’s tough to make it through the year without a single failure. But rather than dragging that beaten horse into the New Year alongside you, have the strength and the audacity before this year ends to let it go. To accept that you have failed. To let disappointment sink in, but also to revel in the freedom it allows you. We can’t fight new battles if we’re still waging war on the past. And there are so many other battles left to win.

9. Make a list of things that are going to get better.

Once you’ve let go of the pain, disappointment and resentment from the past year, you’re finally open to acknowledge all the amazing things that could replace them moving forward. Make a list of those things – and then make an active plan to achieve them.

10. Update your resume.

Which new skills did you pick up this year? Which do you still need to work on? Make a concrete plan to fill in those gaps in the New Year (or before the Year’s end) – it’ll remind you how far you’ve come in a year, and how much more you have left to learn.

11. Cancel the subscriptions and memberships that you never use.

Was your last visit to the gym LAST January 1st? Get real with yourself and cancel the memberships you no longer use before the year rounds up. You’ll be pleased with the financial liberation, and you can use the newfound money to put towards this year’s resolutions.

12. Get a head start on your New Year’s Resolutions.

January 1st is no day to begin resolutions – it’s cold, everything’s closed and there’s a significant chance you’ll be hungover as hell. Whichever habits you’d like to kick-start in the new year, kick-start now. By the time January 1st rolls around, you’ll be accustomed to your new routine, which means you’ll be infinitely more likely to stick with it.

13. Kiss somebody.

Is there any better time than the holidays to let someone know how you really feel about them? Take the opportunity to go out on a limb before the year ends – at best you’ll form a fantastic new relationship. At worst, you’ll have closure heading into the New Year.

14. Miss somebody.

Use the last of the year to get all the pain, heartache and strife of missing someone out of your system. Stop denying yourself the pain and allow yourself to indulge in it one last time. Get those tears out of your system and get ready to start anew in the year that follows.

15. Go visit that person you kept saying you’d visit this year, but didn’t.

Think back to the beginning of the year. Who did you promise yourself you’d catch up with, go visit or not lose touch with as the year progressed? Did you follow up on that promise? And if not, there’s still time to book a plane ticket.

16. Ask yourself the hard questions you’ve been putting off.

It’s all too easy to settle into a routine and let the little things slide – like our happiness, health and overall sense of wellbeing. Use the year’s end as an opportunity to check in with yourself about whether or not you’re really where you want to be in life. And if not, what you could be doing to start turning things around.

17. Unlearn a toxic belief.

Write down three negative beliefs you’ve been holding about yourself, other people or the world that surrounds you. And then challenge the hell out of all of them. Which of your negative perceptions are just that – perceptions? And what can you do see the other side of them before the year draws to a close?

18. Visit the doctor.

Don’t carry any anxiety over your health into the New Year. Visit the doctor, psychologist or any other professional you’ve been putting off visiting before the year draws to a close. You’ll learn what you could be doing better and you can begin implementing those changes before the New Year arrives.

19. Visit a financial advisor.

If finances were a significant source of stress for you in the past year, visiting a financial advisor is a fantastic way of alleviating some of that stress heading into the New Year. Since December is often an expensive month, it never hurts to check in on how you could be managing your finances better, and to establish what you can do differently heading forwards.

20. Make a list of all the things that you want, but are too afraid to ask for.

That raise. That relationship. That opportunity that has been dangling just out of your reach. Write it all down and then ask yourself – honestly – why you haven’t directly asked for any of it yet.

21. Make an action plan to ask for those things in the coming year.

Now that you’ve outwardly admitted what you want, make a detailed action plan that will make phrasing those questions a reality. Write down the speech you’re going to present to your boss, the text you’re going to send that person, or the application you’re going to send in that will make you eligible for that opportunity. Refuse to keep letting your dreams be dreams.

22. Ask your loved ones how the year has been for them.

There are years where we’re very in touch with those around us, but there are also years where we get so caught up in our own struggles that the challenges of others slip into our periphery. Before the year ends, make a point to catch up with the people you care about and learn what’s really been going on with them. They may appreciate it more than you could possibly know.

23. Make a list of ten things that surprised you in the past year.

Hindsight’s 20/20. None of the incredible things that happen to us seem unbelievable in retrospect, but when you look back over your year, what situations have you encountered that would have surprised yourself at this time last year? Make a concrete list of all the places life has taken you in the past year that you didn’t expect – and let it serve as a reminder that the coming year will likely be full of surprises, too.

24. Make a list of everything you’re still afraid of going into the New Year. Set the list on fire.

If there’s anything you don’t want to bring into the New Year with you, it’s uncertainty and fear. You may have a few apprehensions going forward. You may have some doubts. But you also have the power to realize that none of that has to stop you. As you draw this year to a close, let your fears for the coming year go up in flames. You won’t let them dictate your future. And your future doesn’t start with the New Year. It starts now.
