HOW TO RECOGNISE A BAD PARTNER



Having a relationship with a bad partner can make life a living hell; a bad partner would hardly ever have a successful relationship because such a partner would do so many wrong things that would make the relationship toxic.
There are some traits every good partner wouldn’t bring to a relationship, but a bad partner would bring such traits to a relationship without minding.
These are some signs of a bad partner.
1. DISHONESTY
A bad partner isn’t a trustworthy partner; when you have a partner that comes up with lies thick and fast, and puts up acts that are dishonest then such a partner is a bad partner.
A bad partner doesn’t understand the importance of being trustworthy, so they care less about it.
2. THEY DON’T PUT EFFORTS INTO THE RELATIONSHIP
Being the only one trying to make the relationship work can be such a strenuous task, and a relationship like that would never work.
A bad partner leaves the weight of the relationship on the other partner, and they live their lives like they aren’t in a relationship.
3. A BAD PARTNER WOULD COMPARE YOU TO OTHERS
Comparisons shouldn’t exist in a relationship, but a bad partner would see reasons to compare you to everyone they know — ranging from their exes to the partner of a friend or just anyone. Such an attitude isn’t healthy for a relationship.
4. A BAD PARTNER MAKES YOU APOLOGISE EVEN WHEN THEY ARE WRONG
A bad partner would make you feel guilty for their own actions and make you apologise for their own mistakes. This happens a lot in so many relationships and it’s just unfair and unhealthy. While a good partner would take responsibilities for their action, a bad partner would transfer the blame.
5. DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOUR HAPPINESS
The happiness of both partners is important in a relationship. When both partners are happy then the relationship would be better, but a bad partner would only seek his/her own happiness without caring for their partner.
6. THEY KEEP REMINDING YOU OF YOUR MISTAKES
A bad partner would remind you of everything that you do wrong and every mistake you have made. Such a partner doesn’t forgive and clearly doesn’t forget. Moreover, such a partner wouldn’t acknowledge his/her own mistakes.
7. SELFISHNESS
A bad partner is a selfish partner; a bad partner rarely thinks about the other person — it’s just self, self and self. They regard only their own opinion and make the relationship only about them.
8. THEY ARE MANIPULATIVE
They are manipulative, in the sense that they only want their will to be done; they think only about themselves, they are controlling and are emotionally abusive.
9. THEY DON’T COMMUNICATE
A bad partner doesn’t try to understand their partner; they don’t communicate. Majority of relationship issues would be easily sorted out if good communication exist between both partners, but a bad partner would care less.
Having a good partner is essential for the success of a relationship; you cannot have a bad partner and expect a good relationship.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
