A husband
comes home from work and is shocked by what he sees. The living room is
a mess, wrappers of chips and chocolates strewn all over the place,
beds have not been made, there are cushions tossed all over, slippers,
shoes and toys lying everywhere, dirty dishes in the sink, the children
haven’t been bathed or sent to school and have been playing video games
all day, nothing is stocked in the kitchen and nothing has been cooked
for dinner!
Aghast he asks his wife what happened, and she replies, “You always complain that you work so hard and question what I do all day, so I decided to show you, by not doing what I normally do!”
I meet so many housewives that feel utterly unappreciated, and in truth she deserves appreciation, but so do their husbands! I want to ask each housewife reading this column how often she expresses appreciation for the money he brings home, for the hours he puts in at work dealing with perhaps a boring job and an annoying boss to make their lives comfortable?
Does she snuggle up at night and kiss him and hug him tight and thank him for all the hard work? Well housewives, I guarantee you that if you routinely thank him for being a good provider, he will thank you for being a good homemaker. In fact, start a cycle of appreciation today. Tell your husband that both should make it a point to ‘verbally felicitate’ each other’s efforts at least once a week. It will build respect; create a great vibe in the home and make a lot of hard work seem worthwhile.
I am a 21-year-old engineering student. Last year, I fell in love with a classmate who was also a good friend. But after sometime, she started avoiding me, saying I was having an affair with another classmate. Then, both girls stopped talking to me. It’s been almost a year. I wished my friend on her birthday, but she has not forgotten the past. Please help me. I want her back.
The time to get her back was a year ago when there was insecurity from her end. Your year long disappearance would probably seem like an admission of guilt and not caring enough. Either you can make a concentrated effort to sweep her off her feet with romance, wooing her with flowers, surprise thoughtful gifts, poetry, etc or just let it go if she’s not worth the effort, because one call is certainly not a measure of apology or intent.
I am in love with a girl in my class. For the past two months, I have been expressing my feelings through text messages, but she never responded. A few days ago, her brother called up and insulted me. Even then, she remained silent. I love her a lot and can’t live without her. What should I do?
The very fact that she has complained to her brother means she is not interested and is looking for support in keeping a distance. Love is never complete if it is just one sided and respect is integral to all relationships. So if you do love her, respect her feelings and let it go. You’ve said what you needed to, it was worth a try!
I am a 20-year-old girl. A year ago, I became friends with a man over the phone. He is 32-yearsold and was my lecturer in college. He loves me a lot and has even proposed. The problem is, I had initially told him that I am working, which is a lie. I am scared of revealing the truth as he is very strict. What should I do?
Honesty is always the best policy and any relationship that starts with lies, starts on a wrong footing. Just be upfront and tell him that you made it up to impress him, and that you are sorry but there was no harm meant, or ill intent. Also, it might be best if you focus on completing your studies and actually getting a job before you consider marriage.
I am an 18-year-old girl. My boyfriend is also of the same age. We have been dating for the past two-and-a-half years. He never stops me from going out with my other male friends. But I always make it a point to seek his permission. Recently, he told me that I can do whatever I want, provided it doesn’t come to his notice. Isn’t that cheating? He says he doesn’t want to cage me, but I am confused.
Either he’s testing you, or he wants the same freedom for himself. If it’s not okay with you, make it known loud and clear! There is something like giving too much rope; it generally becomes a noose!
