The sins of nagging.

   When your partner makes a mistake or does something out of context what's your reaction? We all have various ways of dealing with issues but today we'ld talk about the ladies way out. ..NAGGING. Yea ladies we know we have to say something when our partners do anything wrong but do we have to repeat it over and over again and usually in an annoying high pitched voice?
   We go "I told you so hmmmm didn't I? You wouldn't listen, now see everything shey I told you...blah blah blah" babe you're sounding like a broken record. I'm with the guys on this one Nagging is a grievous sin.The problems with nagging are numerous it's the worst approach to dealing with issues, let me quote BJ Gallagher a very notable relationship expert "nagging women are verbally castrating their husbands, emasculating them and turning them into resentful or resigned wusses...".I wouldn't want to turn my boyfriend into a wuss, would you? Nagging gradually turns reprimanding into hateful resentment. It makes the guy feel like he's less of a man especially when you keep hammering on the same faults everyday. There are other ways of dealing with your partner's imperfections.
   Carefrontation as one online journal calls it is a gentler way of getting your frustrations out. Sit your partner down and gently (no high pitched voice needed) tell him what he's doing wrong. Tell him why it upsets you and how glad you'ld be if he changes. This way you are appealing to his psyche and that shows how much you respect his feelings.
   Although I believe so much in talking things out with your partner some guys just wouldn't budge.There's another approach *sit down dey look*, don't mind the grammar but I'm sure you get my point. Sit it out, simply wait for him to make the mistake or repeat the offensive act and still say nothing. Don't even say "I told you so", just ignore him and I'm quite sure that when he's at a crossroad he'ld come to you for help.
     I hope we nagging ladies do work on our approach and I'm sure you'd find out it's easier this way. Please get back to me on Facebook www.facebook.com/Yenique9ja or add me up Olufunke Ayeni. You can send messages to my inbox and I'ld be sure to respond. Have a yenique weekend friends xoxo #Yenique.

  1. Forgiveness is the problem, I think. People nag because an unforgivable thing happened. The rule could be that anything that happened more than 2 weeks ago is no longer fair game. Here's a little poem that I wrote:

    Love is forgiveness

    Without forgiveness love cannot endure
    Fault will be felt fueling anger and more
    Trust and acceptance binding two hearts
    Forgive and forget and just move on

    A business has failed; down on his luck
    Some mistakes were his faults others got fucked
    Shit happens she says, we'll make it don't fret
    Holding hands, side by side, overcoming regret

    They play the blame game with ostrich feathers
    They weather the weather whenever together
    Love overcomes what words just can't describe
    Just to live my life, forever at your side

HEY!!! QUEENS

Personally I'm enjoying this "empowered and liberated"/"I'm more than my body" power tussle women are engaging in. I mean in one breathe we mention how we're empowered, liberated, not bound by traditional norms and cultures so we're free to flaunt our bodies, keyword "our" specifically to remind the men not to advise us on modesty. Then as soon as men start to objectify women and talk about how the ass looks perfect to be tapped, we jump on the train of " I am more than a body". Sis for the life of me I don't get us. What are we on about? First of all if you're a model, Onlyfans star, porn actress (and other similar careers), body activist, artiste, actress I totally understand why your full breast/ass is outside. The others though, WHAT IN THE BEJESUS HELL IS THAT? Queens forget the whole liberation talk let's face it, we have the stage. We can be out here talking about fighting domestic violence among

SELF(The Journey to being truly Altruistic).

  So   one night  last week while trying desperately to keep myself awake, I had a pep talk with myself   (more like a TED talk,  because  I was there acting like  there was a  live audience  in front of me  and being so Zen).   Well i n my usual Pep/TED talk fashion I was mouthing the words ever so peacefully, a skill I wish I have mastered in life , you see  I fancy a Zen outlook, an understanding personality and a calm voice but like most things I fancy  these are all still a work in progress, but you can say I am working .  In like manner my talk focused on something I am  also  working to be,  put  quite simply “A genuinely Altruistic Person”.    Altruistic (simply meaning unselfish ) ,  I am trying my best in all ways to be as unselfish as possible. So a part from trying to stay awake this started from hearing/seeing the phrase “focus on your own happiness” a lot more in the past week and something about that statement rings the wrong alarms in my head.    I truly get distressed

THIS THING CALLED LOVE!!!

Love, love, love...that's all a mother has for her child, what a boy hopes for in his lover, what makes him marry her, what he hopes his child feels for him...on and on and on. But what is love? A feeling of commitment?, an inexplicable joy and peace around a particular person, a tight thorny thread that you spin a circle of gold (according to Sarah Maclachlan). Whatever you feel it is love is mostly a fusion of confusing and sometimes conflicting emotions, you want it, it hurts you, you can't get enough, you wants more, you want less...on and on. Today I want to say the things love are and are not according to me, or at least to a survey I have done from personal experience.                                                    ****Love is**** *Blind: Yes just like that blind statue in all court buildings (ubi societas something something), love doesn't select, doesn't judge, doesn't see the clothes or cars. *Endless: I am not saying you don't fall out of
