RELATIONSHIP

untitled.gif

This weekend, we will be discussing about anything as regarding to relationship but we will be focusing more on the topic chosen by our weekend coordinator @balikis95. what we really want to know are below...

  • "It is not uncommon to face problems in relationships, but what would you consider a deal breaker in your relationship with family, friends, colleagues, or an intimate partner?"

OR

  • Do you think in a relationship distance is a barrier? If yes or no, do you have any advice to someone who might be in that position?

Remember, the aim of the hangout is to bring Nigerians together so make sure you have this in mind when responding to the questions. And feel free to add even more to it if you have any. And also, we all should do well to share our responses on Leothreads also and share the links here on the hangout so others can go and engage on it. Also don't forget to use the #samhangout and #leothreads (it will be a determinant for choosing our winners).


In the spirit of implementing some suggestions, we have chosen our last week's winner @mrenglish to be the one to suggest a topic for next weekend's hangout and he will also be in charge of choosing the winner (any one that participates), all you have to do is suggest the topic during the week and then the winners. To our topic choosers, they will receive 5% of the hangout post they suggested the topics.


Okay Let's Gist!!!!

Be as simple and sincere with the discussion, hehehe.

Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...

Oh yes before I forget, there are also prizes for those that did well to invite someone new to the party and also you that has done well to invite someone you are also not left behind because you didn't leave anyone behind. But wait... Not so fast, this time you have to be more intentional about your invite, yes that's right...you know what you benefit when you engage so why not let others know about it. In fact I will advise you to look beyond the prize and look more to doing something different even for your Naija brethren by showing them the way here.

With all that said, let the discussion begin....

Thanks for notifying me. This is my entry into this week's hangout on leothreads 👇

Do you think in a relationship distance is a barrier? If yes or no, do you have any advice to someone who might be in that position?

is a long distance relationship a barrier

The problem is who we are dealing with , i wouldn't one to say yes or no because we have individual differences, I have met with ladies that doesn't like long distance relationship and she has never been in one because she always says she can't cope. And I have met with a lady that doesn't even care weather it is long distance or not meanwhile some can do the two while some can only do one, that is some people have the ability to be in a long distance relationship and also be in one that isn't far. This also goes to men some Men doesn't like long distance relationship at all.

Well if I'm going to choose then some of us prefare long distance 😂 because even if we are in a relationship we won't still feel it lols 😂 it been long don't mind me hehe 😅

Anyways the fact is that this depends on who we are dealing with, it is an individual choice and how one can hold his or herself before they see their partner.

Do I have any advice

Yes I do it is good to learn how to do both that is how to be in a long distance relationship and the one near, just in case you partner is on a journey for months or years you will be able to wait, self control of the body is so necessary and to do this it requires discipline and do on. So in a nutshell it is good to be both.

Here is my side few of this engagement and I appreciate @sam.hangout for the tags all the time thanks you.

This is true. We all have our preferences, while some prefer a long distance, others can do it.

Thanks for this. I will have to drop mine too, maybe later. The light issue around is giving me an ache. Anyways let's see what @princessbusayo, @merit.ahama, @ksam, @justfavour, and @mrenglish have in mind.

I pray make electricity de cos my phone is quarter to die and no CPR machine

Oops you do not have light in your side, I'm sure even if you have power bank it will be in flat battery by now. Sorry dear

Naso we see am... Bad people everywhere. Your side de okay b that. I don buy fuel taya

Sorry darling actually we use generator here too and I have two power bank 😂

See big man ooo. Make una de try show us way

There's no way anywhere o 😂

Ummm. Individual choice is a factor, that is true. But then I think the key factor is what the individual wants out of the relationship. Many will always want someone to hold😂 if you know what I mean.

LoL 🤣 i understand what you mean very well my bro and that is why we should be able to do the two, you get my point too right

I get your point loud and clear.

But isn't doing the two double dating 🙃

LoLs 😂 that is not what I mean o I meant it is good to be able to do long distance relationship and also the close oo 😂 i don't mean what you mean oo 😂

🙃 I looking at you... Dey play, just dey play.

Do the two gini🙄🙄. Una don start

LoLs 😂 i hope you get it too darling 😂

I no wan get. Make ona open una yansh

LoLs 😂 I'm not going to say anything then 😂 were you able to charge ?

Hehe... Na true talk you yarn

In this matter of relationship, I remember stating that the deal breaker for me is when the lady isn't making efforts for growth, or is satisfied being in one position for a long time.

If I see you ain't making efforts to grow, it means you are nothing short of a liability.

Secondly about Long distance relationship.

I will always say every relationship should be a ship with a destination. This means that so long both partners love each other and have a goal for their relationship, distance wouldn't be a barrier.

I think distance in a relationship is also a thing of the mind, your partner can always be with you physically yet far from you emotionally and otherwise. And your partner maybe far from you physically yet you both feel as though you are always together physically.

Communication I would say is the vital part of any relationship. True distance is not in the place but in the communication. How well you communicate with your partner determine how close you two are.

I have a friend who's partner (girlfriend) always comes visiting, at a point, he told her to reduce the way she visits him to once or twice a week. He told her this because even when she comes, they hardly talk. Most times he comes to my house when she's around because of how quiet the house is when she's around.

Me on the other hand think it will be great if my partner always come visiting, but then she's always traveling for work, but our communication is on a very high level.

My advice is that you shouldn't be in a relationship that lacks communication, else you will easily get fed up. And again every relationship should have a goal, with both partners striving to achieve the goal.

Here's is my link to Leothreads

Una sha wan kill us with sense. Hehe.

I agree sha. Communication na e b the koko. No be to de look unasef like teddy bear. That one de off.

Change de constant. Pikin wey talk say e no go change go sidown for ground wen bed de

You can say that again.... But no be say I too get sense ooo, just dat na how e be I dey talk my own fa

Hehe. E beta jare my guy. Mesef no get sense

Mesef don come oooo... I bring agbado, epa, boli with plenty supplements con yia.

This relationship suntin no easy abeg but as per say you be human, you mustt to de for one. Either na with your maale and paale abi friends. If na fine orolistic bobo you find abi otutupoyoyo baby all na ship.

To sail any ship for this life ehn, person gats to work together if una no wan fall yakata do kerewa for water.

Any person wey tink se e right everytime abi de too serious with hin life no near me oo. Na beta deal breaker. Talk sorry first no go kill you especially women. Ona shakara too much abeg. Small talk, water don full face. Say sorry jhoor ogbeni. Make ona de kind to onasef. De caring broda leave work small. Put your partner first. Make ona joli.

Any person wey too de tush abi like to be form anyhow make e no near me. Aunti na "fork" ooo no be "fake". Make we de try get sense as that one na anoda deal breaker.

Sincerity no go kill you. Talk as you de feel for any ship. No de nod to everything wey I talk like fan. Get sense to reason make we yarn togeda. If I no do well tell me. No hail me for rubbish.

Make communication and understanding be the oga patapata of everything. No de look like zombie abi you don use your heart do giveaway?

For the distanceship suntin, I say make ona understand unasef. Make d relationship matter foundation be on trust and make the trust de grow. De talk true. Nobody go be at you. Na relationship you de no b wrestling mania.

Respect each other and make ona love de grow. Turn your guy abi girl to gist partner. Make amebo de flow left and right. Pray together(phone de) make una build onasef. Distance no b barrier. Make tins work. Bring beta suggestion. No de use WhatsApp sticker talk when intelligent conversation de on. Respect yourself make people no say person don take you. You no de market again.

Truth be say, as humans wey we be. We sabi d right tins. Do them abeg my hand don de pain me. Wos alaye. Na you carry my Boli for yia?

Ahh I over slept 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️😭

Hehe. It is okay

Good evening guys. It was a very busy weekend for me that's why I didn't show up in time for this weekend's hang out. Kindly forgive me y'all.

For next week, may I suggest the topic (If you were Nigeria's President, write out your five points agenda for a better Nigeria)

Or

(Do you think Nigeria can be a better country? What indices can you apply to defend your reasons)

😂😂😂😂

These questions looks like WAEC questions. I hope they fit in for the discussion.

Thank you.

Long Distance Relationship ❗

See ehn.
To be frank. It can't just work. The temptation out there is too much.

Though, some folks believe that out of sight is never out of mind. True!!!

But beyond that. Body no be firewood ooo.

It better be close so that maintenance work can continue.

Hehe... Body no be firewood truly, still I prefer long distance shs

Like, you'd be ok with it? There could be trust issues and how would you get to know your partner better?

I don't understand.

Kindly shed more light as to how you will manage the situation.

Hehe ... Trust issues? That means the relationship foundation wasn't rightly built on this. You can be with someone in a close relationship and they will end up cheating.

Fact!!

Like they say:

"Out of sight is never out of mind".
