My husband beat me up for voting in 2015 poll in Ekiti ―wife

A housewife, Folasade Fatunla, on Thursday told an Ado-Ekiti Customary Court that her husband, Gbenga, beat and stabbed her after she went to cast her vote in the 2015 Ekiti governorship election.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5BPoYCnboXDO8T_va5sJRfeJdcM66oxcsxk3fy-ZpbZsJOCBXXLq-CnL7d_4WACKfRJUXUSgAc8kBSVI9Vd2m-MY6gQ-wCEuU_q7CtCEn8bdAnyqCr_jPcqIqS7jigLBpc5UcXFPfrrXX/s1600/Buhari+meme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="309" data-original-width="412" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5BPoYCnboXDO8T_va5sJRfeJdcM66oxcsxk3fy-ZpbZsJOCBXXLq-CnL7d_4WACKfRJUXUSgAc8kBSVI9Vd2m-MY6gQ-wCEuU_q7CtCEn8bdAnyqCr_jPcqIqS7jigLBpc5UcXFPfrrXX/s320/Buhari+meme.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Folashade, 32, who made this known when she testified in her divorce petition, said that her husband stabbed her in the hand with a broken bottle.<br /> <br /> “My husband accused me of leaving the children at home without his knowledge,” she said.<br /> <br /> She begged the court to dissolve her 12-year-old marriage to Gbenga for alleged battery, a threat to life and lack of care for her and the children.<br /> <br /> Folasade, a trader and resident of Igirigiri St. Ado-Ekiti, told the court that she packed out of the respondent’s house a year ago when he attempted to kill her.<br /> <br /> She said the petitioner did not pay her dowry, adding that their cohabitation as husband and wife for the past 12 years had produced two children.<br /> <br /> The petitioner said whenever the respondent was drunk and she queried him for behaving in such manner, the respondent would beat her mercilessly.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Folasade said the respondent often threatened ‎to kill her whenever they had any misunderstanding.<br /> <br /> She said the respondent did not care about the feeding, welfare and education of her two children but preferred to leave the house in morning and come home at midnight.<br /> <br /> The petitioner urged the court to dissolve the marriage to enable her to have peace of mind to enjoy the fruit of her labour.<br /> <br /> She requested that the respondent should be paying N10,000 as monthly feeding allowance of the two children and he should also be responsible for their education at all levels.<br /> <br /> The President of ‎the court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, after hearing the testimony of the petitioner, adjourned the case to Feb. 28, for further hearing.<br /> <br /> She ordered the petitioner and the respondent to bring their witnesses on the adjourned date.

I knew on my honeymoon that I had made a mistake!

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have left a marriage long before you actually pick up your bags and walk out - or in my case, stagger down the stairs balancing an orchid plant, a washbag and laptop.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-MgCmyzOn51B82Jyg15ogqeKVIVm3MQQMOnABU9IhlislS5VMB8DD-OvRmL5BzXMwE3fCpMDMuw2KfUBvagQtytiokwMSZm6_ApdmUiBuLTrLkHJgrGtlKA5R3RIIVAH4MrmTupULX8Rb/s1600/lady+abuja.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="477" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-MgCmyzOn51B82Jyg15ogqeKVIVm3MQQMOnABU9IhlislS5VMB8DD-OvRmL5BzXMwE3fCpMDMuw2KfUBvagQtytiokwMSZm6_ApdmUiBuLTrLkHJgrGtlKA5R3RIIVAH4MrmTupULX8Rb/s320/lady+abuja.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eighteen months ago, I left my marriage to an old-Etonian journalist. We had met on a blind date, he proposed soon afterwards on a weekend mini-break, and, nine months later, we walked up the aisle. Our marital bliss lasted just over a year.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew six months beforehand that I would leave my husband, but kept praying for a lightning bolt of recognition that it would work out in the end. Not because I loved him, but because I couldn't stomach the shame.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The worst of it is that I knew on my honeymoon that I had made a mistake. I hadn't married my soul mate and I was deeply disappointed - with myself. I'll never forget sitting on the chair-lift in the ski resort of Telluride, Colorado, a few days after I had made my vows.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My 36-year-old husband affectionately patted my arm with a bulky mitt and I felt my eyes water. Not with joy, but with despair.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wasn't high on hope and expectation. I was aching with loneliness. Can you imagine feeling lonely on your honeymoon, the very place where you are supposed to feel at one?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't feel united, just full of self-reproach.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do you say to your parents when you creep back home after the shouting is over? "You know that sixty grand you splashed out for the wedding of my dreams?</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, erm, it turns out I didn't marry the man of my dreams. Sorry."</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A friend said to me a few months into the marriage that if I had got hitched in a register office, I would have left by then. But after the brouhaha of the church wedding and swanky reception, which, let's face it, I had dreamed about since I was six, I felt that I owed it to the 130 guests to try to make it to our first anniversary, at least. Perhaps I dragged out the inevitable because I couldn't face myself.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stupid</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I couldn't admit that I had been that stupid. I am an Oxford graduate, for God's sake, but I was so hung up on the fairytale wedding that, because I was the wrong side of 30, I rushed up the aisle with a man who, deep down, I knew wasn't the man.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of the time, back in our marital home, a tiny, to-die-for Kensington abode, I wanted to die.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was insanely unhappy and, quite frankly, bonkers. Unable to reach my husband or to have him emotionally touch me, I became manic in my desire to perfect our property. I can see now that my deranged need for order was my way of trying to compensate for my inner turmoil.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is not a sin to be incompatible (foolishly we didn't live together before we married due to my overblown romanticism and downright naivete), but I could not accept that our dreams and aspirations lay in different directions.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had the flat feng shuied to death, placed pink crystals in our relationship area and planted red geraniums for good fortune. At the hint of a row, I lit joss sticks to waft away the negativity.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And still no dice.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We grew increasingly hostile towards each other, and as we tossed insults like verbal hand grenades, I realised that I no longer liked what I saw of myself reflected in his eyes.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have faced newspaper editors hyperventilating with rage, broken bread with the sharks of Hollywood, and appeared on Larry King Live, but nothing in my life has ever been as scary as walking out of that flat.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sobbing</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He did not come after me. Instead, he went into the kitchen and fried himself an egg. That's what tore me apart: that there was nothing to fight for any more. I went to my mother's house and stayed in bed, sobbing, for two weeks. I wasn't grieving for the man I had walked out on, I was mourning the loss of my dream. And boy, did it hurt.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cried so much that I had angry eczema beneath my eyes. I could not digest that my life CV was stained with the indelible black mark of failure. Worse, despite two court appearances, my husband has never spoken to me since the day I left. The lack of "closure" means that our short marriage feels like a very long one-night stand.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Three months later, mortified, guilty and angry, I ran away to Los Angeles. I felt too exposed in London, where I was constantly bumping into friends who would innocently ask: "So how's married life?" or congratulate me on getting married. I'm not sure who was more embarrassed, them or me, when, red-faced, I would explain that I was getting divorced.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still in shock, in the States I rebounded into the arms of an American film producer. Forty-two, divorced, attractive and filthy rich, he spoilt me outrageously. I crisscrossed the country firstclass while weekends were spent at the smartest spas on the west coast.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He even bought me a purple fur coat when my husband's lawyers got nasty. I thought this was exactly what the doctor ordered. However, as I sat luxuriating in infinity pools staring at glorious sunsets, I recognised my inner ache. The emptiness was eating me up. I may have been in luxury, but I wasn't in love.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I returned to England and finally faced up to the facts.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Soul</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of going on dates, I took myself off to Oxford to see the most incredible man. Robert Holden is the best-selling author and founder of The Happiness Project, a research body which studies wellbeing. In his workshops, Holden takes you to the heart of the matter: your soul.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Together, through laughter, tears, and my terrible tantrums, we looked at what really counts - having a relationship with yourself. I learned how to fulfil myself and become less emotionally needy.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nine months later, I went to Bath to stay in a hotel on my own for a weekend. A young man asked me out for a drink. When I discovered that he was seven years younger than me, I harped on that, as a 35-year-old divorcee, I could not possibly go. He spent weeks carefully chiselling away my resistance. Six months later, I can hardly believe my luck. I didn't imagine my soul mate would be an emotionally intelligent 28-year-old chartered surveyor.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After our third date he bought me a pair of satin Gina slingbacks and told me to wear them to the pub "just because". I have moved to Bath, where he works, after a trial run at living together during the summer. I'm still a neat-freak but it's OK because he is, too.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, instead of being ashamed that my marriage only lasted a year, I am immensely proud that I had the courage to get out when I did. Finding the right partner - I have learned the hard way - is like picking the correct piece of a jigsaw: the piece that fits without being forced.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-Daily Mail</span>

Here are 20 things you can do with minimum effort or preparation but with maximum gain!</div> <strong style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">1. Tickle the feet</strong><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> The nerve receptors in the brain for the feet are near those for the genitals, and some believe there is a neural pathway between them so that stimulation of the feet can inspire arousal in the genitals.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>2. Enjoy a sugar high</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Coat your loved ones genitals in something sweet and enjoy sex while on a sugar high. Mix your sexual arousal with the dopamine rush from sugar for a real rush.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>3. Plan a surprise bedroom picnic</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Fill your basket with goodies that delight. Make sure you have batteries, and include toys for two, not just vibes for her alone. Pull one bedroom picnic treat out at a time and take turns with each other.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>4. Tantric breathing</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Use tantric breathing together as a couple to slow sexual response down and increase your concentration and bond – breathing, hearing and feeling each other’s breath creates intimacy and arousal between you.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>5. Restrict your or your partner’s movement or senses</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> This heightens sensation especially when concentrating on one area of body (whenever you’re told don’t, you immediately want to). This is why handcuffs, scarves and ties are so popular!</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>6. Perform a striptease</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Striptease, but instead of being raunchy and showy, do it slowly, like a seductive, sexy undressing for your partner. Famous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee once said “Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly”.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>7. Fulfil a fantasty</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Write a fantasy down and leave it for you lover to stumble upon. Teasing builds sexual tension, heightening pleasure when it arrives.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>8. Have a quickie</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> It not only reminds your partner you desire them in that “must have you now kind of way” but the more often we have sex, the more it spikes our libido.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>9. Have cybersex</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Log on together and live out a fantasy together as a couple.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>10. Make penetration forbidden</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Light a candle and focus on foreplay and sexplay in whatever way you want until the candle burns out. Only then is penetration allowed!</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>11. Caress each other in unexpected places</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Share light caresses on places we often aren’t touched during sex play: inside upper arms, eyelids, tops of ears, backs of knees, backs of hands, scalp, back of neck, jawline, armpits – this will stimulate nerves around the body in upredictable places and liven up sexual arousal.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>12. Lie on a bed of flower petals</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Make love on crushed flower petals. It’s romantic – and fragrant!</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>13. Shave each other</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> …then admire and kiss your good work.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>14. Give a prelude teaser</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> While he’s cooking or watching TV, rub his shoulders, then slide your hands down his chest and still further down. Don’t do it all the way then and there – just give a not so subtle hint that you want sex – and him. Take the initiative, he loves it when you do! Eighty five per cent of men would like their partner to take more initiative about the when, where and how of sex!</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>15. Pulse your pelvic floor muscles during sex</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Muscle tensing can help bring on orgasm for you, but the rhythm of your pulsing and tension adds an extra dimension of pleasure for him.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>16. Indulge your man with a scalp massage</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> They hardly ever get them and can have intense reactions of pleasure and relaxation. It’s a great way to get him in the mood if he says he’s had a rotten day and couldn’t be shagged to shag.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>17. Don’t just French kiss</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Use shallow kisses to stimulate his lips with your tongue and teeth, his lips have thousands more nerve endings than in his mouth.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>18. Have a threesome</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> …with a sex toy and share it equally between/on you both!</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>19. Keep the lights on</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Do it in the day or at night with the lights on – men like to see. And do it in front of mirrors too.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <strong>20. Sleep</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> Really. It increases libido. And then later, interrupt your sleep. Sleepy sex in middle of night is one of a man’s top fantasies.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 23px;"> <em>(via <a href="http://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/sex+relationships/sex/the+ultimate+sex+bucket+list,30037" style="color: #099bef; text-decoration-line: none !important;" target="_blank">Body+Soul</a>)</em></div>

“My husband’s manho0d is so big I can’t stand it anymore”

My name is Gift and I just got married three months ago but I am already fed up because my husband’s manhood is so big I suffer tear every time we make love.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizdrSEB90C5-syHVIr1WMFfFqDeEqNZCoZQxyWyQ7Ff26OdKcMlSy1m5Va2RihCK-Jz1u4b5hYbenkyTkvMt6BtWtJrpxkbcDw7aErHZnhJNbub6UskM4HrLYG8747Qbe_WnflbnOhyLLS/s1600/COnfused+lady.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizdrSEB90C5-syHVIr1WMFfFqDeEqNZCoZQxyWyQ7Ff26OdKcMlSy1m5Va2RihCK-Jz1u4b5hYbenkyTkvMt6BtWtJrpxkbcDw7aErHZnhJNbub6UskM4HrLYG8747Qbe_WnflbnOhyLLS/s320/COnfused+lady.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> I know many women will read this with a pinch of the salt while others, like some of my friends, will say I should be lucky that my husband is so endowed and can satisfy me in bed.<br /> <br /> But it is not about sexual satisfaction here, it is about the pain I go through during sex.<br /> <br /> I grew up in a strict home where our parents monitored us and any discussion of the opposite sex was seriously frowned at. I did not have a boyfriend until I was in my third year in the university and even at that, I never had sex till my youth service, at 25, and it was not a pleasant experience.<br /> <br /> After the first time, I had sex not more than five more times before I met Joseph who later became my husband. I met him during a seminar I attended in Port Harcourt and was swept off my feet at first glance.<br /> <br /> Since he was based in Abuja, we managed to maintain a long distance relationship and only got to see each other whenever he came to Lagos, which was not often.<br /> <br /> Our first night together was quite horrible but he reasoned that it was because I had not been exposed. He told me never to worry, as I would get used to it with time.<br /> <br /> We managed to cope till we got married and that was when my nightmare started. Sex with my husband has been hellish and I always dread such moments. We have tried lubricants to make me wet but it seems my tight private part is not just made for him.<br /> <br /> We are both living like strangers and I dare say it is just a matter of time before the marriage crumbles.<br /> <br /> What do I do to make my marriage work?<br /> <br /> Gift.

Interesting Ways Wives Can Become Their Husband's Best Friend

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Soulmates. Lovers. Friends. Partners. Companions. Roommates.

And on your wedding day, you probably only thought about the first two titles. They are the reason you married your husband. You wanted to spend all your time with him, and it didn’t matter what you were doing, so long as you were doing it together.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Enter life. The need to talk about everything you think and for your husband to listen. Somewhere along the way, you discovered that in order to be together, you had to put up with things you didn’t really enjoy...</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"></a><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Marriage is changing both of you. You’ve learned to compromise and take turns having your own way. But you’re starting to notice that all those little sacrifices—all those activities you’re giving up for the sake of peace—aren’t drawing you into a more intimate relationship; they are drawing up battle lines. You have lost yourself, and the replacement wife is not pretty.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Without friendship in your marriage, you will begin forming a new identity: either a resentful spouse who gives in or a controlling spouse who doesn’t. Or, you opt for becoming a marriage partner, with the freedom to do what you want by taking relatively separate journeys through life. It makes for less confrontation, less arguing, but more loneliness in your marriage (definitely not the path to deeper friendship).</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The secret you’re hoping to find is how to become your husband’s best friend without losing your identity, and without him losing his. After all, you chose each other because you loved what you saw. You’re wondering what kind of companion you’d have to be to make your husband happy, without making you miserable. Is it even possible?</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Take a look at this “friend” criteria of what men look for in each other (not their wives), when they hang out:</span><br /> <ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Competition</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Risk</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">New challenges</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Frank conversation</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">No expectations</li> </ul> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Not what you’re interested in? </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The modern marriage paradigm has a solution to this problem: Take turns with everything. Set up a rotation for doing chores, choosing activities, enjoying guys’ night and girls’ nights, taking care of the kids. Just split everything 50/50. Then everyone’s happy and everything’s fair.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">While the sharing of duties is necessary, please consider that the modern paradigm of fairness in marriage is not scriptural, and it will likely endanger your relationship. Ephesians 5:25 and 33 say, “Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church” (no equal split in that relationship — this love gives until it hurts), and “the wife must respect her husband.” (no criteria for respect, just a command to swallow your know-it-all attitude). God knew what challenges married couples would face, so He told us straight up: Put the other person’s needs first. That’s unconditional love.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><b style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">But isn’t that how you lose yourself? </b><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">No, that’s how you love a soul-mate. It’s how you make a best friend for life.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Instead of both of you giving 50 percent and hoping the other person will come through, you can both give 100 percent, believing that the other person is worth the effort. When both partners value each other first, both end up being satisfied, with all their needs met. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As both of you feel loved unconditionally, you will prefer being together over being apart. Your marriage will become the one place where you feel completely known and completely safe. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After years of marriage counseling, we’ve seen the proof to back up Paul’s commands in Ephesians. Marriages centered on the fairness principle of 50/50 don’t last. Unless something changes, this selfish paradigm, which values protecting one’s own rights more than elevating your partner’s, leads to a 50/50 divorce settlement or at best, an unfulfilling and lonely marriage. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">On your wedding day, you were all about “becoming one,” so I’m betting that dividing up everything equally is a far cry from what you hoped for when you said, “I do.” </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><b style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">How is this fixable? </b><br /> <div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> This collision course toward alienating your husband in an attempt to maintain your personality? What if you don’t like the same things? Do you have to fake it? How can you become your husband’s best friend and maintain the “oneness” objective?<br /><br />In a recent poll, I asked husbands “For those of you whose wives are your best friends, what makes her your best friend?” Their responses might surprise you:<br /><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She understands me.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">I have no secrets with her/I am completely myself with her.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">We love spending time together—it doesn’t matter what we’re doing</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She gives me unconditional love and respect.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">We have the same goals.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She is easy to talk to/she listens to me.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She believes in me/she encourages and supports me</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She has my back — she is on my side.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She makes me a better person/she helps me be the best version of myself.</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">She prioritizes her time to be with me.</li> </ul> Emerson Eggerichs, who wrote Love and Respect for a Lifetime wrote, “Your husband needs you to love him, but he also needs you to like him as a friend.” So how do you decide to like someone who leaves all the cabinet doors open and squeezes the toothpaste from the middle?<br /><br />You overlook it. You focus on the parts you love. (Isn’t that what you did when you were dating?)<br /><br />Maybe you’re reading this and thinking, I’ve been married too long to date my husband. I’ve got kids, for crying out loud. We’re running their schedules. I don’t have time to fall in love with my husband again.<br /><br />But you want to. You may have suppressed your disappointment with your marriage, but you still crave the connection. It’s why you got married. (So it’s not too late.)<br /><br />Friendship with your husband does not follow the same rules as friendship with someone else. If you look again at the husbands’ list about their wives, you will notice a common thread: vulnerability. Your husband doesn’t need roommate or a sports buddy. He needs a guardian for his soul. He longs for someone (and he wants it to be you) who cheers when he cheers and cries when he cries and laughs when he laughs. That’s what close friends do. It’s what close married people do.<br /><br />Here are some suggestions to build trust with your husband, which in turn, will earn his friendship:<br /><br /><b>Don’ts—</b><br /><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Don’t criticize (it makes you his enemy)</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Don’t nag (it makes you his mother)</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Don’t interrogate (it makes you his boss)</li> </ul> <b>Do’s—</b><br /><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Seek to understand his concerns (it makes you his confidante)</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Defend and praise him (it makes you his ally)</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Generously give him time, attention, and trust (it makes you his inspiration)</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Work hard, without complaining (it makes you his hero)</li> <li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Be interested in what interests him (it makes you his friend)</li> </ul> What identity do you really want as a married woman? I want to be loved and cherished by my husband, with the freedom and encouragement to be myself because I’ve let my husband be himself — not because I have decreed it.<br /><br />I remember one evening, years ago. My husband hadn’t spent time with his friends for quite awhile, so I encouraged him to join them on a “guys night,” even though we’d had a busy couple of weeks. By 8:00, he was walking back into the house. (I’m not tattling, but he might have had a chick flick in his hand.)<br /><br />“You’re home early,” I said.<br /><br />He smiled sheepishly. “It was fun, but I had to say, ‘I’m sorry, guys. I’ve got to get home.’”<br /><br />“Really? How’d that go over?” I was surprised.<br /><br />He shrugged, smiling. “They said, ‘Wow, she’s got you whipped.’”<br /><br />“What did you say?”<br /><br />He laughed. “I said, ‘Nope, I just miss my wife, and I’m going home'."<br /><br />That’s intimate friendship and a whole lot more!<br /><br />[written by <b>Sue Schlesman</b>]</div>
