Family / Re: My Husband Is Cheating On Me With Our Neighbor! Hurting Real Bad by timro(f): 2:07am On Jun 05, 2019 |
I believe he must have married you the normal African tradition would have prescribed. However, leaving your marriage at this point is not the best option. Guess the body shaming aspect affects you because it comes from your husband. Mothers generally face this even from other mothers and peer groups who believe they have to comment on how they see you. As a woman, wife and mother, do not allow whatever your husband is putting you through affect the love you have for your baby. Whatever you do now may end affecting you with a lot of regrets. Whatever the advice given here is just our opinion. Consider the love you've always had for him from the outset. Besides, your baby is too little for you to decide to leave now. Be patient my dear. |

Family / 6 Signs That You Are Not A Pretender by timro(f): 8:21am On Jul 30, 2014 |
Here are six signs you live life according to your true self. 1. You have high self-esteem. Genuine people, by definition, have a good sense of self-esteem, says clinical psychologist Guy Winch, Ph.D., a HuffPost blogger and author of Emotional First Aid: Healing Rejection, Guilt, Failure, and Other Everyday Hurts. "Really, with self-esteem, it’s the ‘Goldilocks’ range: Too much is not good because that’s the narcissism range, that’s the arrogant, prideful range," Winch tells The Huffington Post. "Too little is not good; you want something solid in the middle. So genuine people are those who have solid self-esteem -- it’s solid, it’s consistent, it’s not brittle. And people who have solid self-esteem are much less defensive about things usually. They can feel authentic, they can be authentic, because they’re far less worried about the implications of exposing who they are, because they feel OK about who they are." Research backs this up: In a 2008 study published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology, U.K.-based researchers explored the "authentic personality" and how other traits correlate with a person's sense of living genuinely. They found that people who expressed a high sense of authenticity also maintained higher levels of self-esteem. 2. You embrace vulnerability. The psychological idea and societal construct of inner strength vary dramatically. Many cultures place great importance on maintaining defensive walls that hide or minimize personal weaknesses and imperfections, as a means of protecting oneself from harmful or unpleasant experiences. Science, on the other hand, supports using flexible coping mechanisms to face moments of discomfort -- opening oneself up to fears and failures in an attempt to learn and grow from them, rather than shut them out altogether. And it takes an authentic person with a solid foundation of self-esteem to be able to accomplish the latter. "The stronger your self-esteem, the more able you are to admit that you’re failing, to receive criticism, to be able to receive negative feedback without it making you crumble," Winch says about the importance of maintaining such flexibility. "You can actually take on criticism, negative feedback, something not great about you, something that you don’t love about yourself, and it doesn’t really devastate you. It’s something you can admit, you can hope to work on or just take in, but it doesn’t affect your whole way of thinking about yourself." 3. You share your true thoughts, beliefs and opinions with the world. Authentic people not only take the time to ponder their perspective on life and the experiences that led them there, but they easily share this "true self" with others around them. This outward expression is consistently characterized as an extroverted behavior in authenticity research. However, in a 2010 study published in the Journal of Personality, Wake Forest University psychologist William Fleeson established that both genuine introverts and extroverts alike feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, opinions and beliefs with the outside world. “Authenticity is consistently associated with acting highly extraverted [sic], even for those who characterize themselves as introverts,” said Fleeson in a statement. “Being flexible with who you are is okay. It is not denying or disrespecting who you are. People are often too rigid about how they are and stick with the comfortable and familiar. Adapting to a situation can make you more true to yourself in some circumstances.” His research also revealed that being genuine consistently goes hand-in-hand with being emotionally stable and intellectual. 4. You openly give and receive compliments. Gratitude clearly flows in two directions: sometimes you give, and sometimes you receive. When it comes to the latter, Winch explains in his book Emotional First Aid that people with low self-esteem can sometimes struggle with accepting compliments. That's because they believe those compliments come attached to higher expectations from others, which results in feelings of stress. Those who are authentic and maintain a solid sense of self-esteem, on the other hand, don't view compliments with strings attached. "You have to be able to see a compliment as just a compliment, and it takes a certain level of authenticity to receive that," Winch explains. "It’s about being able to take in and also give back in a way that’s unfiltered by all these kinds of other agendas." When it comes to expressing gratitude to others, genuine people follow a similar path of not overthinking it. "You want to reinforce people," he said. "It’s really merit-based. You’re doing it just because it's merited, and that comes across when you do it in a pure way, when you’re simply delighted that somebody did well and you compliment them." 5. You really listen -- and prefer deep conversations. Genuine people find it easier to let go of distractions and focus intently in a conversation simply because they are truly interested in what the other person has to say. They aren't constantly checking their smartphone for text messages or letting their mind wander off to the day's to-do list. Everything else falls by the wayside. According to a 2013 study conducted by psychological scientist Erin Heerey at Bangor University in Wales, others can tell when you are being genuine. The observational study paired strangers getting to know one another and monitored their reactions to any smile that was exchanged -- both genuine and polite. It found that the subjects responded much more quickly to genuine smiles than polite smiles, and viewed the genuine smiles a social reward to be valued. "When we are authentic people and our self-esteem is strong, we are just much less burdened by agendas and baggage, and we can actually have a conversation that’s about the content of the conversation in a much purer way," adds Winch. "When people are authentic, there’s a certain purity to their interactions and conversations, and the conversations tend to be more interesting in terms of the content. You can get further, you can explore more, and you can discover more because it’s a much richer conversation." 6. You're driven by an inner voice rather than your surroundings. One of the key components of authenticity is simply (or not so simply) knowing who you are and being comfortable with yourself. It requires taking the time to develop informed ideas about the things you care about, and not blindly adopting them from others around you. It is with this foundation that you are able to live those values -- stand behind them, represent them and feel strongly about them. "When you have thought through what you think, what you feel, what’s important to you and why it’s important to you, that determines a certain sense of purpose and directive," says Winch. "We all have these operational directives -- we just don’t necessarily articulate them to ourselves. But if we look back on our behavior and examine what we do, why we do it , what we think, why we think it, we can figure out the principles that are driving us." People who have really looked within to understand why they think and act the way they do are clearer about the pri 4 Likes |

Health / Blood Group Can Affect Fertility by timro(f): 4:46pm On Oct 26, 2010 |
A woman's blood group could influence her chances of getting pregnant, scientists have found. Those with blood type O may struggle to conceive due to a lower egg count and poorer egg quality, while those with blood group A seem to be more fertile. More than 560 women with an average age of 35 undergoing fertility treatment took part in the research, led by experts from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and Yale University. Blood samples were taken to measure levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), a known marker of fertility. FSH levels greater than 10 suggest a woman will have more difficulty conceiving than those whose levels are under 10. A high FSH level indicates a diminished ovarian reserve, which refers to both egg quality and the number of eggs left available for fertilisation. Ovarian reserve tends to decline significantly as a woman reaches her middle and late 30s and faster in the early 40s. The study found that women who were blood type O were twice as likely to have an FSH level greater than 10 as those in any other blood group. The findings held true even when a woman's age was taken into account and the fact the women came from two different clinics. Meanwhile, those with blood group A were "significantly less likely" to have an FSH level greater than 10 than those who were blood group O. Some 44% of the UK population are blood group O and 42% are type A. People with blood group A carry the A antigen, which is a protein on the surface of the cell, but this is absent in people with O type. Dr Edward Nejat, from the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Albert Einstein College, is presenting his findings at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) conference in Denver. He said: "In both groups of women that were seeking fertility treatment, those with blood type O were twice as likely to have an FSH level over 10 than those with blood types other than O. "We found that women with A and AB – women with the A blood group gene – were protected from this effect of diminished ovarian reserve. "From the population we studied, and the fact it was two different centres and there was a good mix of patients ethnically and racially, we can say that blood type O was associated with an FSH level greater than 10 in women seeking infertility evaluation and/or treatment. "Patients with blood type O seeking infertility evaluation at these centres have a higher likelihood to be diagnosed with elevated FSH and hence manifest diminished ovarian reserve." Nejat said FSH levels were just one marker of fertility and more studies were needed."A woman's age remains the most important factor in determining her success of conceiving. "The baseline FSH gives us an idea of the quality and quantity of a woman's eggs." Tony Rutherford, chair of the British Fertility Society, said: "This is the first time that I'm aware of that researchers have shown a link between blood group and potential for fertility." However, he said there were other hormones that predicted diminished ovarian reserve which were also important to assess. "This is interesting and it shows a potential link but we really need to look at it with these other, more up to date tests of ovarian reserve." Rutherford said a bigger study would need to be carried out in the general population to see if blood group caused potential problems for all women trying to conceive. "We need to look at a prospective group of women to see if blood group affects your chance of getting pregnant," he said. "This needs further exploration." http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/oct/25/pregnancy-fertility-problems-blood-group |

1st time replying to a topic. First and foremost, who is a wealthy man? How do you ascertain that a man is wealthy? How do we categorize a wealthy person? If these questions can be answered then i guess we'll know if a wealthy man can find true love. |

this is the first time I am replying to any topic. First of all, can we first define who a wealthy man is? What is the category of being wealthy? Then I believe we can prove a wealthy man can fine true love |
