We women spend too much time talking about our expectations from our partner without making any efforts to even treat our men right.

Men have expectations too. Men ought to be treated well too. Relationship is not about taking, taking and taking some more.
Woman, what are you giving?

You expect love, affection and respect.

No problems.

Are you giving same or just sitting pretty with manicure fingers waiting for romance to fall on you?
"How a man should treat his woman" "Treat your woman like a queen" ... please we need to see more articles on "how a woman should treat his man" "treat your man like a king"
Before i came to this realization, i had to sit down and evaluate my past relationships and interactions with people generally, not just my partners.

Sometimes we are guilty of the relationship killer behaviours we accuse men of.
How often do you call your man?

How often do you remind him you care?

when last did you buy him a gift? When last did you go out of your way to show him he is special? When last did you give him some well thought out threats Like he does to you?
Let’s stop being lazy in our relationships. Women have a part to play too.

If you have a man who does all the right things, his efforts should be reciprocated too.

Do unto others what you wish to be done to you.

It takes two to tango. Selah

Last year, I suffered severe burn-out from saying too many “yes” to others and “No” to myself. Taking up too many engagements to please others and giving bits of myself to too many people. Trying to solve too many problems and showing up for others. Image
In the process, I lost too much of myself. Time. resources. Emotions. I gave myself to the service of others till I had nothing more to give, even to self. I didn’t have time to pursue my own aspirations because I was focused on helping others achieve theirs.
I am passionate about people.I don’t mind being source of hope/help to others. But when you begin to sabotage yourself, deny yourself growth and peace of mind because of others, it becomes toxic. In the end, you become insufficient even to your beneficiaries.

In my 32 years in this life, i only just heard that some women use "vacuum hose" to "suck out their periods" so as to shorten the length of their menstrual flow 😭😭

So i looked it up. Alas, it has been a thing. Since 1971 😟

(Thread)
Menstrual extraction (ME) is a type of manual vacuum aspiration technique developed by feminist activists, Lorraine Rothman and Carol Downer, to pass the entire menses at once - Wikipedia
The non-medicalized technique has been used in small feminist self-help groups since 1971 and has a social role of allowing access to early abortion without needing medical assistance or legal approval. - Wikipedia /1

They say love conquers all! But when it comes to Sickle Cell, does love really conquer?

When you Consider the emotional and financial strain that comes with having children with Sickle Cell Anaemia, is it still worth it?

(THREAD) #Tweet4SickleCell
They tell us to marry someone we love. If the said partner has been verified to be a faithful believer and a true love, Is it still a valid reason for 2 people who are not genotype compatible go ahead and get married?

#Tweet4SickleCell
In as much as we know that considering our future partners’ religious beliefs and morals are important factor, the health aspect cannot be neglected. Some choices you make can mar your relationships no matter how strong it is.
