Many men find women hard to read; but if you know the signs, you’ll know exactly what your wife needs. Most of the time, she just needs some more attention from you. Here are seven ways you can know if that’s the case:

1. She acts jealous

If she seems jealous of your work, friends or even other ladies, it’s probably because you aren’t treating her like she is your top priority. Because your spouse should be No. 1 in your life, if you are devoting less attention to her than to other people or responsibilities, she is definitely lacking attention that she deserves.

2. She stopped asking you for things

If she used to ask for your help or opinion and she doesn’t anymore, she’s probably grown accustomed to you not helping out very much. To fix this, ask her deep questions about her life, or what you can do for her; or just go ahead and do something for her without having to ask.

3. She’s dressing to impress

If she’s spending a little extra time twisting up her hair or she wears something she knows you like, she probably is doing it to catch your eye. Let her catch your eye. She needs that attention from you.

4. She’s being nit-picky

If your wife is starting to get on your case about the small stuff more than usual, she probably is in need of your attention. If she doesn’t get enough time with the real you, your annoying habits can eclipse all your goodness.

5. She tells you she misses you a lot

The most obvious way you’re going to know that your wife needs more attention is if she flat-out tells you. She may miss your physical presence in her life or the close emotional relationship the two of you used to share. No matter what, if she’s telling you she misses you, you need to devote more of your time to her.

6. You find out more on social media than in person

If you log into Facebook to find out what’s going on with your lady, something’s not right. You should know about her life before the Web does. Text or call her throughout the day so you can know what’s going on with her.

7. You go to bed at different times

Both of you need the personal attention that getting ready for bed and laying in the dark waiting for sleep to come affords. If the two of you aren’t going to bed at the same time, you need to make the change so you both get that time together.

There are many things we should and should not be doing in order to have strong personal relationships.

There are some common themes and behaviours that many couples experience that seem to fray the relationship, and sometimes cause irreparable harm. If you are able to think about them, and start to avoid them, your relationship will be stronger for it, and you will feel more connected as a couple. Bear these ideals in mind as things to avoid. You will prevent a great deal of turmoil and be sure to enjoy each other’s company more.

1. Do not take your partner for granted

I have couples do an exercise that they universally end up loving. I have them spend a week where every day they tell their partner something they appreciate about the other person. They can do it face to face, leave a note, or send an e-mail or text.

Most ask me to keep that particular assignment going, as it makes them feel so good. They were often unaware of the things that their partner appreciated about them, and it made them feel more connected.

2. Do not try and mind-read your partner

This is incredibly common in relationships. People take history, or what they think they “know” about how their partner will say or react to a situation, and they become upset with them before even asking the question. When I have them actually ask each other what they would have said or thought, the partner was normally off base. This shows how important simple, open communication is.

3. Do not insist that you settle a disagreement here and now

This is one of the greatest fallacies of our time. People insist that you cannot walk away from each other until something is resolved, or that you should never go to bed angry.

The truth is that sometimes you are each so mad, that nothing productive will be resolved in that moment. Agree to come back and revisit it when you have both calmed down, and keep this promise.

Take a breather and clear your head, or even sleep on it. Almost every time, things are not as dire as they seemed in the heat of the moment.

4. Do not forget what it means to have good communication

This means strong active talking and listening skills. Don’t forget that your partner cannot know what you are thinking and feeling unless you share it with them. Be open to telling your partner what is on your mind, ask them to hear you out without interruption, and then listen to what they have to say with the same respect.

5. Learn to approach issues in a way that makes your partner more willing to hear you

If you comes at them in a hostile manner, they will either match your level of hostility, or they will shut down. Make sure that you are calm, clear, and that you are willing to hear them out and put yourself in their shoes. When you approach your partner in this way, they are much more willing to hear you, and they are more open to work an issue out.

6. Don’t avoid the tough topics

It is essential that you are willing to tackle the tough topics, especially early on, so that they are cleared up and will not cause issues in the future.

There are heavy issues like faith, finances, and family involvement that will erode any relationship if you do not come to an agreement and understanding about how these issues will be dealt with in the relationship.

7. Do not live in the past

There are some things that are easier to get over than others. If something happened from which you have agreed to move, or you have agreed to stay in the relationship despite this issue, then leave it in the past. If you cannot live with it, don’t stay in the relationship.

However, if you genuinely want to work things out and be with this person, you need to move forward, and leave the issue in the past. You cannot say you forgive and want to be with the person, but pull out their mistakes every time you are upset, or it is convenient.

8. Do not fight dirty!

Attack the issue and not each other. If there is a problem, stay focused on it, and do not resort to personal attacks and character assassination. Instead, stay focused on the issue at hand. This will more often get to a resolution, with no one walking with hurt feelings, or having said or heard something that does permanent damage.

9. Do not refuse to compromise

We all have our own sets of beliefs, values, and morals. There is nothing wrong with having strength of our personal choices, but we cannot expect our partner to follow our path exactly. They have their own set of beliefs, values and morals. Sometimes the two are not the same, and the couple needs to find a common or mid-ground that they can each live with.

10. Do not have unrealistic expectations for your partner

We all have a “perfect” image in our minds of what a partnership is, and usually they is pretty far from reality. Adjust your expectations to be realistic and fair. If you do not take this hard look at yourself, and make this change, you are setting your relationship up for disappointment, and your partner for letting you down when they have done nothing wrong.

There seems to be more drama for popular artist Davido who was caught on camera beating up a guy believed to be his fan in a hotel room in London.

The clip shows Davido and some of his friends beating up the guy before one tries to intervene. It is however not clear what the guys were fighting over or what the fan was doing with Davido and his men.

Some claim that the video was cooked up to promote his new music label DMW while others think that the singer could have lured the fan to the room only to attack him.

Ever wondered how many different types of breasts exist?

Well, research shows that a lot of men think there are two types of breasts, big or small, but this fact is wrong in a lot of ways and your mind is about to get blown by the types and variations that exist.

Research conducted by a bra company known as ThirdLove, says there are at least seven different types of breasts that graze the female anatomy.

The company discovered that fit was very important during their design process and it helped women in identifying the style and type of bra that best suits the shape of their boobs. The truth however is that all types of boobs are normal and beautiful in their own way and it is best for every woman to know their type of breasts and the bras that go with them as you never know when this knowledge can come in handy.

Here are the 7 types of boobs you never knew existed and the best type of bras that go with them.

1. Bell Shaped Breasts

These types of breasts are usually narrow at the top and fuller towards the bottom making them heavy. The best type of bras for women with this type are full coverage bras. This is because the heavy breasts, which drag down the shoulders can cause the bra straps to slip, thereby reducing support.

2. Round Breasts

Round Breasts are full from top to bottom and are most times enhanced surgically. Balconette styled bras help to show the perky nature of the breasts. Round Boobs have the advantage of being able to pull off very good looks and appearance.

3. East West Breasts 

These breasts are characterised by a slope from the top to the bottom which also moves to the outer sides. The nipples usually point in opposite directions. The general consensus is that T-shirt styled bras or push up bras are best for east west boobs because they help to flatter the shape of the boobs while also bringing them closer.

4. Asymmetric Breasts

A lot of women have these types of breasts. Asymmetric breasts are distant in that one breast is larger than the other and it may not be noticeable at all (minor) to something very pronounced (major). The best type of bras for women with this type are bras with removable pads. The pads can be worn on the smaller side to provide a more even outlook.

5. Side Set Breasts

These breasts have a wide space between them with the nipples pointing sharply forward than those of the East West. Balconette styled bras which have a lot of fabric lying above the bra cups help to hide the large gaps between the breasts.

6. Tear Drop Breasts

These breasts have a gentler slope than those of the bell shape and the slope are easily visible from the side. The deeper neckline and cups of plunge style bras help to fill in the shallower top part of the boobs.

7. Slender Breasts

Slender Breasts are a little wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. They are also generally skinny and have very little breast tissues. Plunge style bras lacking in push-up materials are best because they help to pull the breasts towards the middle of the chest to give the impression of a bigger cleavage.

There is no shortage of relationship advice available, and one of the most common phrases is: Accept your partner for who he or she is and don’t try to change him or her.

While you may be able to make minor tweaks — like getting your significant other to wear dress pants instead of athletic shorts when you go out to eat — trying to make major changes to your partner is not part of a healthy relationship. Here are 4 things you will never be able to change about your significant other — no matter how hard you try.

1. Personality

It is nearly impossible to get someone to behave exactly the way you’d like. People are who they are, and though some personality traits are due to social conditioning, there is no way to turn your partner into a “perfect” version of how you think he or she should act and be. In fact, the propensity for change diminishes greatly once you turn 30, and we’ve known this for over 100 years. Groundbreaking Harvard University psychologist William James’ text, “The Principles of Psychology,” published in 1890, found that your personality stabilizes in adulthood. Part of the text says, per New York Magazine’s Blog Science of Us: “In most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.” Additional research has shown that our core personality traits have a strong genetic component attached to them and remain constant throughout out lives.

2. How your partner relates to his or her family

Families, especially your partner’s parents, can be a touchy subject, and if any sort of criticism of them comes into the conversation, it’s like walking into a mine field: an explosion can happen at any time. Karl Pillemer, Ph.D., a professor of human development at Cornell University, tells the Huffington Post, “People’s feelings about their own families are deeply ingrained, and they are not likely to alter significantly after you tie the knot.” He adds that, “you can come to compromise, but if your spouse and your family don’t get along, pressing for change is not likely to work. Instead, I’d tell you to give your S.O. a free pass to avoid unnecessary get-togethers. Family togetherness is nice, but not at the expense of your relationship with your partner.”

3. Hobbies

Relationship researchers have long believed that couples who take up similar hobbies or active pursuits together are much happier because these shared experiences bring novelty and excitement to the relationship. That being said, it’s important for partners to have separate hobbies and interests that add to their overall happiness. Asking a partner to change or stop their routine hobbies will only cause contempt and set the relationship on an unfavorable course.

4. Religious beliefs

Religious beliefs are something that are ingrained in you, and often these beliefs have been passed down in your family. While it’s not completely unheard of for a person to believe less in their religion — depending upon their age demographic — or even convert for their partner, if your significant other is deeply religious it can be problematic in an interfaith relationship, Samantha Rodman licensed psychologist and dating coach tells the Huffington Post.

Rodman adds that most problems for couples, in regards to religion, don’t arise until later in the relationship or until they decide to have children.“People who were raised going to religious services frequently will often want to resume this practice when they have their own children, even if they didn’t attend services as a younger adult,” she said. “On the flip side, if your partner is an atheist and agnostic, it’s unlikely they’ll become devout believers just by virtue of being with someone with faith.” Just remember that religion is one of the many traits that makes your partner who he or she is, and it’s unfair to ever expect a change.

The post 4 Things You Can Never Change About A Person appeared first on Bigeye.ug.

Are you hiding a big secret from your partner? If so, it’s probably burning a hole through your soul and causing extreme guilt and anxiety. You may be holding on to your secret because you’re afraid your partner will break up with you or you’re concerned about hurting your love’s feelings. However, your attempts to strengthen your relationship and keep the peace will likely backfire if your secret is discovered before you have a chance to discuss it.

Researchers in a study about secrets in romantic relationships found roughly 60% of respondents admitted to keeping some kind of secret from their partner and about a fourth were keeping a secret during the time of the study. Why do we keep secrets? The researchers found some of the top reasons for keeping relationship secrets is to avoid damaging the relationship, disapproval, or shame. Even if you have good intentions, your secret will likely come to light. You’re better off unloading this burden and sharing with your partner. Here are some secrets you should never keep from your significant other.

1. You’re in financial trouble

Sure, debt is a part of life, but if you are at a point where most of your credit cards are at or near the limit and you are in so much debt you’re considering bankruptcy, it would be in your best interest to disclose this. This is especially important if you are engaged or talking about getting married. If you decide to purchase a home together, your financial secret will eventually be uncovered. Most couples in a recent survey said financial infidelity is a deal breaker. Roughly 70% of married respondents would think about breaking up over a secret debt.

2. You have a criminal history

If you’ve found yourself on the wrong side of the law, you may be tempted to hide this little tidbit. However, if you’re in a serious relationship, you should come clean about your criminal past. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, your partner may want to know the circumstances so an informed decision can be made. Furthermore, if your partner happens to uncover this information before you say anything, it will erode the trust you’ve built.

3. You have a significant physical or mental illness

If you have a significant mental or physical illness, you need to mention this as soon as possible (especially if you have a sexually transmitted infection). This kind of information should never be kept a secret, regardless of the stage of your relationship. Furthermore, if you have HIV, in some states you are legally required to disclose your status to certain people.

4. You have an addiction

If you are struggling with an addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, or something else along those lines, let your partner know. You may be pleasantly surprised and find that he or she will stand by you and support you through your recovery. You’ll never know unless you open up and explain what you’re experiencing.

5. You have a child

You’ll want to mention whether you have any children; the sooner the better. Children from a previous union could be a deal breaker for your partner, so it’s important to lay this out on the table before you proceed and put any more of your heart into the relationship. You’ll save both of yourselves unnecessary heartache.

6. You’re married

This should go without saying, but it’s never OK to lie about being married. You should also reveal whether you’ve been married before (and how many times).

Being in a relationship can give you a feeling of walking on clouds. Nothing can get you down. All of these good feelings can make you think you’re ready to take a trip down the aisle, but are you really ready? Here are a few signs that you need to take a step back and rethink your decision. Tell the wedding planner to sit tight.

1. You’re selfish

A healthy marriage requires give and take. If you’re still hung up on your own needs and desires and don’t have room for anyone else in your life — other than you, yourself, and then you again — you might be better off alone. Why should someone spend their life only catering to you?

2. You have an unresolved past

Emotional baggage must be unpacked. One piece of luggage that must be handled: your ex. If you’re still not over a past love, it’s time to slow down. Also, if you have any ongoing issues like drug or alcohol addiction, or unresolved emotional wounds, it is imperative that you get help for this before asking someone to spend their life with you. While it is possible to work through these issues as a couple, it will likely add tremendous stress to a new marriage.

 3. You like playing the field

If you’re hesitant to throw out your “Single and Ready to Mingle” T-Shirt from college, that may be a sign you’re not ready for a permanent tan line on your ring finger. Also, if your digital black book is so full that it crashes your smartphone, this should tell you something. There’s nothing wrong with having a full and active dating life, just remain transparent with everyone you’re being full and active with. Pretending to be exclusive with someone while sowing your wild oats with several other people isn’t the way to go. Come clean so that you can enjoy your freedom without the guilt.

4. You’re hiding a secret

If you’ve got an army of skeletons in your closet, you have two options: either fess up or keep your skeletons locked down and don’t get married. Your little secret will eventually turn into a big one. The white lies you tell today, if quietly snuck into a marriage, could transform into a messy divorce down the road.

5. You have doubts

The doubts could be about your partner or about the relationship in general. Either way, trust is an essential component of any relationship. If you don’t trust your partner, it will be difficult to maintain a lasting union.

We all want soft, smooth and supple skin, but things don’t always go as per our plans, do they? At some point, you’ve got to deal with all things ugly. Stretch marks are just one of those inevitable things. If you have ever wondered why they happen, how to get rid of them and IF you can ever get rid of them, you’ve arrived at the right place. We spoke to experts and got the skinny on stretch marks, and this is the truth, and nothing but the truth.

What causes skin to stretch?

Stretch marks (stria) are stripes or streaks that appear on the skin, which are usually red, pink, grey or white in colour. They are actually scars that occur when the skin is stretched beyond its elastic limit. Stretch marks are particularly common during teenage years as the skin is generally firmer and has a lower elastic limit. The most common areas they appear on are the lower abdomen, lower back, thighs, knees and breasts.

Dr Aarushi Passi Bhandari, Cosmetic Dermatologist, SENS Clinic in Delhi says, “A sudden change in your body weight results in the elasticity of your skin loosening up, which creates stretch marks. The protein fibres in the skin break down with the stretching. This cannot be revived again which is what causes the scarring.”

Try as you might to avoid stretch marks, especially during pregnancy, there’s no tried and tested way to stop them. Dermatologist, Dr Simal Soin, Delhi says, “Pregnancy is the most common cause of stretch marks. Obesity, sudden increase or loss of weight, growth spurt during puberty and cortisone, the hormone, causes the skin to stretch. Sometimes people also have a genetic predisposition, which results in discolouration of the skin.”

The science behind it

Dr Simal explains, “Stretch marks are a result of the destruction of elastic fibres, which are present in the dermis of the skin. This happens when the skin is stretched as it cannot keep up with body’s rate of growth. The hormone cortisone weakens the elastic fibres and results in stretch marks.”

Do they really disappear?

Truthfully speaking, that’s what we are really concerned about and Dr Simal leaves with a dash of hope, saying, “They may never completely go away but with the right kind of treatment they can improve by 80 per cent”.

Dr Aarushi agrees that stretch marks can never be completely removed. “The skin may start looking better and improve up to 40-60 per cent, but it will lack luster. It may also start looking loose and there are never 100 per cent results.”

The best way to prevent stretch marks

It is difficult to prevent stretch marks as most of the causes are not under our control like hormonal imbalance, maintenance of weight. The skin changes hues initially and then develops the red marks we commonly see. This is the first stage of stretch marks and the ideal time for treatment. “The skin fibres can only be regenerated through treatment such as heat energy, radio frequency and resurfacing,” states Dr Aarushi.

Dr Debjani Chakraborty, Consultant Facial Aesthetics, SENS, Delhi, recommends topical medicines with onion skin extracts that can regenerate the skin tissues. “There is research that proves that onion skin extracts works. Drink lots of water, eat foods that have fatty acid oils such as Omega-3, which will keep your skin hydrated, supple and prevent stretching,” she says.

Coconut oil application or creams which contain Vitamin A, C and E are also of great help to prevent damage and to lighten the skin while reconstructing the tissue. “Products like bio oil and aloe vera gel may help lighten the stretch marks but the process in long and results are not guaranteed,” adds Dr Simal.

Parents these days are quite open-minded and they are happy to interact with your boyfriend. Of course you are answerable to them but isn’t it amazing that they know who you are dating and that you have a commitment. So if you are planning to introduce your boyfriend to your parents, expect these situations to occur. More or less, it will be fine.

1. The awkward smiles: That’s the most common thing that will happen. Everyone is just going to smile.

2. Dad’s straight face: Girl, your dad loves you. So when he learns that there is a man you love more than him, of course he will be a little jealous and it will be evident on his face.

3. You will have to do the balancing act: You are the middle man(woman) between both the parties hence you are the one balancing everything. From treating your parents with great honour and respect to making your BF feel comfortable, you have to do it all.

4. Discuss the future plans: Yes, you just introduced him as your boyfriend, but for your parents he is the future son-in-law, so be prepared to answer questiond about your future plans.

5. Your mom will question him about his mother: Moms are the cutest. She will definitely question him about his mom and her habits.

6. Expect them to ask if your boyfriend’s parents know: Your parents will definitely be concerned about your boyfriend’s parents’ opinion. This question is definitely going to pop up.

7. When are you guys planning to get married: Yes, be ready for this big one!

8. The how-you-guys-met story: Ahem, this one is definitely going to pop up and think of a good story, especially if you met on Tinder.

9. Where do you guys often meet: This one is to know exactly what base you guys have crossed. So make sure you have a well curated answer.

10. How much do you earn: No matter how much you scream about equality, your parents will ask this question.

11. The welcome-to-the-family-hug: Of course, if everything works in your favour there will be a welcome hug.

Women tend to require more sleep than men because of their “complex” brains, according to research.

Scientists found that around 20 minutes more sleep was needed by women compared to men – and said this was thought to be because the female brain works harder during the day.

The study was carried out on a sample set of 210 middle-aged men and women.

“One of the major functions of sleep is to allow the brain to recover and repair itself,” study author Jim Horne, a sleep expert formerly director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, told the Mail Online.

“During deep sleep, the cortex — the part of the brain responsible for thought memory, language and so on – disengages from the senses and goes into recovery mode.”

Prof Horn said the amount of sleep was necessitated by the complexity and intensity of brain activity during the day.
He said: “The more of your brain you use during the day, the more of it that needs to recover and, consequently, the more sleep you need.

“Women tend to multi-task — they do lots at once and are flexible — and so they use more of their actual brain than men do. Because of that, their sleep need is greater.

“The average is 20 minutes more, but some women may need slightly more or less than this.”

However, he said men who have complex jobs which involve a lot of “decision-making and lateral thinking” are also likely to need more sleep than the average male.

The study also found that poor sleep among women was linked to a number of side effects. Increased levels of psychological distress and greater feelings of hostility, depression, and anger were all found in women who slept poorly, but not men.

Ending a relationship is tough. However, there often comes a point in the relationship where no matter how hard you try, it’s just not working and the relationship isn’t worth saving. If it’s not worth holding on, you’ll have to figure out a way to gently break the news.

But how do you break things off without doing harm? Here’s how to part ways gracefully.

1. Don’t be a jerk

It might be tempting to try to avoid breaking up with someone by treating them so badly that he or she has to be the one to initiate the break-up. However, this approach is immature. Don’t hurt someone just to let yourself off the hook and come out looking like the “good guy.” Try your best to be civil.

2. Meet in person

You may want to take the easy way out, but that is not the way to handle things. The best way to break it off is face-to-face. Just get over your nerves and bite the bullet. The only time this isn’t recommended is if you’re in a situation where your partner poses a physical threat to you. Breaking up in person will give you time to discuss the reason for the break-up and hopefully help provide some closure. Provided that you are in no immediate danger, it’s best not to break up in a location that is too public, such as a crowded restaurant. Emotions will be running high, so having a meltdown in front of a roomful of strangers will just make the news sting a whole lot more.

3. Don’t let tech do your dirty work

When we say you should break up face-to-face, we don’t mean FaceTime or Skype. Whatever you do, don’t break up with your partner through video chat, social media, or text. This is the worst way you can let someone know you don’t want to be with them.

Crown Beverages Limited, a leading soft drinks bottler in Uganda, has announced reduction of its retail price for the 500ml pack size by Shs200 from Shs 1,700 to Shs1,500 for Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Pepsi Cola, and Evervess Tonic brands to grow and defend its market share.

The move, according to Jeff Sekandi, the acting Head of Marketing, follows a growing need by Ugandans to consume affordable, yet high quality sodas during the current hard economic times.

“This is not a promotion. At Crown Beverages, we understand the needs of our customers and are always innovating both at the product and price levels to satisfy them. We have reduced our prices to enable our customers to save money which they can use to purchase other basic home needs,” said Sekandi.

He added; “The new price is also meant to encourage new soda consumers to buy our products because the prices are friendlier, especially in these hard economic times. However, the quality of our sodas will not be compromised.”

Mr Sekandi, however, noted that the price cuts will not be applicable to any other pack size and returnable glass bottles.
