When to call a relationship quit

Every relationships has its ups and downs.Some people go into relationships with the view that its going to be sweet always.While this is good,it may not always be achievable.The downs in a relationship shouldn't be more than the ups.
Here's my advice before you call a relationship quit.Try to know the reason for your couples behaviour,and try to settle your differences before calling it quit.
You should call a relationship quit when;

• You are disrespected: Being in a relationship where you are treated as trash is the worst thing that can happen to you.Everybody deserves to be loved and respected and being in a relationship where you feel low self esteem should not be allow to linger.Move on with your life,you deserve better.

• You are physically abused:No matter how fierce an argument or quarrel is,hitting your partner shouldn't be contemplated,let alone done.Some guys even take pleasure in hitting ladies just because they love them.Love is not stupid.If your partner has turned into a serial beater,RUN,RUN and RUN.

• You carry the burden of the relationship alone:Being in a relationship with someone doesn't mean you should assume the position of his mother or father.If your partner can't stand on his/her own,always wants you pick their pills,shoulder their problems without wanting to share in yours.....Its time to quit.

• You feel less affection for that person:When there's no more affection towards your partner,the relationship becomes burdensome.If you feel your love for partner has grown cold,then maybe you where infatuating.

• You are being suspicious: A relationship should be built on trust and faith.Constant checking of phones,Facebook account,who your partner talks with or who he/she talks with,are all over suspicious acts.You should move get out and move on with your life.

Give your relationship another chance,try to settle your misunderstandings.If it works out fine,if not,move on with your life.

Obsessed with Mermaids and Living as a “Merman”

    

22-year-old Eric Ducharme — the latest subject of TLC’s “My Crazy Obsession” — says he has been obsessed with mermaids for as long as he can remember. So obsessed, in fact, that he now lives his life as a “merman” in Florida. He says it’s his “lifestyle.”

Ducharme says that he eats, sleeps and breathes mermaids, and he dresses up and acts like one whenever he gets the chance. “It’s a lifestyle. It’s a path in life that I have chosen,” Eric says. “When I put on a tail I feel transformed … I feel like I’m starting to enter into a different world when I hit the water.”

“Being under water I feel, I’m just totally away from the world,” he explained. “It’s taken me a really long time to kind of understand my place in life.”

  1. Soft drinks contain high calories of added sugars which are in pure form. Cos they are in pure form, they are easily taken into d blood and causes d pancreas to produce more insulin than is needed or make it ineffective. This results in weight gain, diabetes and insulin dysfunction. E.g a 50cl coke contains 10 and half cubes of sugar which is about 210kcal.

  2. Soft drinks are very acidic. They have acidity of 2.5 the equivalent of vinegar. Fish die in water wt PH of 4 and above 10. Compare the acidity of soft drinks with car battery of PH 1 and pure water of neutral 7 and see d harm u are doing yourself.

• The longest kiss listed in the Guinness Book of World Records lasted an incredible 417 hours.

•  Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for the telephone companies. More cards are purchased for Mother's Day than any other occasion.

•  Florida law forbids a housewife there to break more than three dishes a day.

•  Marital quarrels hit their peak in July. If you've kept notes on your spouse's temper-or yours-they'll confirm it. July is also tops for riots, criminal violence and hasty legislation. Oppressive heat and consequent loss of temper control are the causes. 

If you never knew all these,then be my guess.

Funny facts about men

• Men like to barbecue. Men will cook if danger is involved. 

• Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.(lol) 

• All men hate to hear "We need to talk about our relationship." These seven words strike fear into the heart of even General Schwarzkopf. 

• Most men hate to shop. That's why the men department is usually on the first floor, two inches from the door.  

• When four or more men get together, they talk about sports. 

•  If a man says, "I'll call you," and he doesn't, he didn't forget... he didn't lose your number... he didn't die. He just didn't want to call you. 

•  Men forget everything, women remember everything. That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already forgotten what's happened.

HOW TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP WORK

Long-distance relationships can be extremely hard. Not only is it difficult because you can not see or talk to your partner as frequently as usual, but practically everyone you meet will have a horror story about how a long-distance relationship failed for them. I once read that absence diminishes small love and increases great ones. Keep this in mind when you are going through rough times. If you have not yet committed to a long-distance relationship and are contemplating it, know that it is a huge commitment. Make sure that you really love the other person and that it is worth it for you to make certain sacrifices. Below are some guidelines to make it work.

  

 1. Be honest about what you expect from each other. Do you want the freedom to date other people? Are you comfortable with your partner making friends with the opposite sex? Are you going to try the long-distance thing out and stick with it if it seems to work, but not try to force the relationship? Discuss these things with your partner and be honest about your expectations. This way, everything is out in the open and it will lessen the suspicions you have about the other person. Also, you never have to question if you are crossing a boundary. 


 2. Coordinate your schedules. Be realistic about the time commitment you can give each other. If it works for both of your schedules, plan on talking at a particular time at night. However, this can place stress on you if you end up wanting to go out with friends and your long-distance partner is not understanding about your need to be social and branch out, or gets jealous of the time you spend with other people. No matter what, try to keep in touch daily through phone calls, E-mail, AIM, or other means. Download Skype, net2phone, or phone-free. Its free to talk online if you both download programs like these ... no matter where you are. Also, consider a web cam for a more personal connection.

 3. Make plans in advance to see each other in person. If you set firm dates to see each other and stick to them, it makes the wait less difficult because you can spend time planning outings with your partner and looking forward to seeing them. When you mutually agree on certain times to see each other, it lessens problems that can arise from one person feeling like they are pressuring the other into seeing them and the other feeling like the are too busy and are pushing away from the relationship because of the pressure.

6 Signs you are in love.

 

Falling in love is a wonderful experience,but can leave a first timer worrying and confused.For someone who is in love for the first time,you may find yourself wondering if your alright or possessed by something.Either-way,you are thrown off your feet by love if you show three or more of these signs;

• You think about them often:If you are in love,you would probably think about the person all the time,but when these thoughts keep you from engaging in your normal routines,then its infatuation.

• You want to impress them:You would want them to know how bright or good you are at something.Displaying your achievements before them is what yo would want to do.Bringing them before friends that will mock or poke you will be distanced.

• You care more about your appearance:You suddenly want to look good or better.Ironing your clothes and choosing matchable colors for your dress and shoes,adding extra details to everything.

• You care more of their happiness than for yourself:Not letting anything wrong happen to them,making sure you contribute to their lives,are all signs of love.

•    You want to know more about them:If there's a tape or book that can tell you about them,you won't sleep until you read to the last sentence.You want to hear about them from friends,families or colleagues.

• You want to be with them more:Hanging out with friends isn't appealing anymore. You always want the hangout to be with him or her.But be careful,so as not to get too close for his/her liking.
