    instaquote BS.

    A man is nothing without his pride. Love should compliment your pride, not require you to swallow it.

    Btw, Aunty Stellz, why dont you switch do Disqus commenting system? Its an automatic install with blogger. I guarantee it will quadruple your engagement. Instead of trying to force people to sign up for gmail, you get multiple choices of login (gmail, facebook,twitter), comment voting (will lead to more quality comments), threaded comments (PLEEEASE you need this),

      I liked a guy so much but hid it. We had some dates, and i slept at his sometimes but never let him touch me....At this point he wasn't sure what my actual feelings were, cos I was blowing hot and cold. I was playing hard to get, and didn't pick his calls most times. One morning, I woke up with this sense of emptiness, and then I sent him a msg telling him how I felt....and his reply was " I proposed to my ex 2 days ago"....Why did you have to spoil us? I cried for days....Pride is bad....I look back and say " well, if he was mine, he would've waited....Life goes on...

    I lost a friend because of pride, we put together money for a business and when time to remit came nstead of outwardly confiding in me that she was going through a hard time she put on airs and kept posting me up and down when time elapsed and the agreement signed had to come into play cos she swallowed my share of the money.
    It makes me doubt a lot of things she ever said about her other friends and what caused issues between them because they have been falling outs not once or twice and she always played the victim but now I know better.
    Broke my heart though cos I dont make friends or give trust easily and when i do I expect total honesty in return too.

Lying spirit n that of Jezebel. Yes its got pride and a whom lot cousins. Wen she wanted to sting others n I never fell for it. She will always say am a strong woman of God.

    More like what my ex husband lost. Pride wouldn't let him be a marriage partner, helping out with the kids and the house. Insisting he is African and will not stoop low to do even warm his food. Made me make fresh soup and stew everyday, wash and iron his clothes.. Did I mention we live in England? It was hard for me working full time, schooling and then rushing home to meet the household demands. He worked shorter hours too.. And then the beating and curses? Thank God for Britsh system and police.. He was asked to leave the house or kids will be taken away. First night I was alone with my kids felt like being free from prison..

He expects me to do everything. Not a single help. God help me. I live in the UK also. If I were in Naija, at least I would have a hired help or relation to help out atleast. My body is so tired.

    Very true, pride of saying three little words 'I am sorry' to your partner. Pride has done that to many of my relationships most times I just feel apologizing would make my partner take me for granted and I most times like to have the last say. It is something I am trying hard to stop, learning to look the other way and controlling my temper cause once I get angry it is hard to hear my partners opinion. So the post is correct. Many times I have let even friends I care for go simply cause I don't want to feel small in their eyes. I'd rather put an end to the relationship than take blame or when I take the blame I try to justify my actions.

    Hmm.. let me share a story, y'all can give feedback.
    My younger brother is a teenager, just turned 18 in March. He's the baby of the house, a good boy really but in recent times he has been acting like somebody that is going loco.

    So about three weeks ago, I was home for the election break. The boys i.e my brother and my cousin play basketball most days, sometimes in the morning. This particular morning, they came and asked permission to go to the court, this was sometime around 7:30am.
    My sister didn't want to let them but I just told her to leave them alone, I said afterall they will be back before 11 at the most.

    These boys know that they are needed around the house, sometimes to drive somewhere and run errands. My brother didn't return home till 2. I was livid.
    As soon as he walked through the gate, I called him and with annoyance, I asked " why do you think it is okay to leave the house at 7 and return at 2"?
    Before I could even say another word, he started yelling. Saying what I was saying was very unnecessary and that "he didn't need all that".
    Oh, well.. I told him that since I can't talk to him and correct him like my younger brother, he should stay on his own while I stay in my own lane. I told him even when I was away, he shouldn't call me.
    He stormed away.
    For the rest of my stay, he didn't speak to me.

    I reported the matter to my mum ( in my mum's eyes, this boy can do no wrong) she said that he must have been very hungry from all the ball he'd been playing and me throwing questions at him angered him.
    She also said I should go and apologize to him, that I was the one at fault.

    My brother and I are very close, he's my pride and joy and I love him to bits but in this matter, I have made it very clear to everyone that I will not give in.

    In my opinion, I am the one who deserves an apology.

      It's aphase but he's also spoilt. My brother tries it periodically forgetting he has 3 sisters who are thick as thieves. By the time. We ganng upon him, he begs for mercy. That's how we deal with them o. It's not just the offended party who cuts him off. The 3 of us together until he apologises or changes.

      As for being an adult, adulthood is earned not gotten. He should go and buy the decade + that my younger sister take senior am for market. When he can do that, na automatic adulthood. Until then, I am deputy mummy, biggest sister and I will knock his ass around.

    As a reply to yesterday's chronicle's poster. I'll use this thing as a point of reference.
    I don't think you are proud. No. You're just independent and sometimes, it becomes a bad thing in marriage. Isn't it Socrates or so that said "man, know thyself"
    Very powerful quote. Know yourself, your strengths and your limit...
    In addition, know the people around you.
    Sometimes when people seek to advice or correct us, not like we haven't realised, we say 'thanks', it's important to keep making our loved ones feel useful to us, even if they are not at that moment.

    The only reason you took your bags and fled to the UK after seeing your husband with a lady in a restaurant is because you can. You can afford the air fare, you have a job waiting for you there. He knows you can survive without him(which to you is a strenght, has become a weakness in your marriage).
    If you have ever dated a very wealthy man, you will realise the frustration you feel when it's his birthday and you want to get him something. What can you give him that he doesn't even have? This is the exact frustration your husband feels. You can afford all he can afford. Now the solution will be to give the millionaire something that seems little and minor but something he will appreciate. The little things count. attention to details pleases the soul. And this is where your husband erred! He should have given you his time on your anniversary atleast.

    I advice you forgive and take him back. What he did was bad but for all you know, he might not have done anything with her yet, which is still bad too.Sometimes, men of that age pass through identity crises always worsened when they feel slighted by the way their wives are independent and materially wealthy. The women they run to to reassure them of their masculinity act as 'dutch courage', d strength they need to face their wives.
    He is obviously passing through this phase and luckily, he was able to give you a hint of what he is going through.

    We as wives and women, sometimes think we are doing everything right. You become stoic or very routine without knowing your man needs to tell you somethings to unburden himself but can't find the means or strength. You sometimes feel you are not being too dependent and it's a good thing. Try to imagine if your husband is coming home with food from his hospital. Or if he hires a private chef and doesn't eat your food just cos he can. You would feel wretched n hurt. Your husband eats your food sometimes not cos he can't afford eateries but wants you to feel important and wanted. Please do same. Don't just run off and change the fridge in the kitchen or replace the AC without telling him expecting that he'd appreciate your efforts. Tell him first, ask him for the money, even if you can afford it. You already know wassup with your man now. Know thyself, all marriages are different.

    Please dearie, when you meet a good man, it's safe not to assume you're doing your best, always think of the other side and improve. Don't let this pain or hurt to your ego break your marriage.
    Warn him to stay off women and please accept him back m'aam. God bless ur marriage.

    I disagree with that notion. Certainly, pride is one of the 7 deadly sins and has wreaked irreparable havoc on many lives, unrequited love or betrayal of love can break the spirit. Love is such a powerful emotion, it surpasses all others including pride. Real love operates on a higher realm. While a person may get over a broken heart caused by pride, love leaves an indelible scar on any heart that has the misfortune of being broken by it.

    Once you hear or read about heartbreak, what comes to mind immediately is betrayal of a jilted lover, though there are many things or scenarios   where love isn't the primary cause of the heartbreak. Why is that so? Simply because a higher number of heartbreak is love related. If you truly love, you can't be proud. Like the good Book says "love is not proud". You may lose a lover or a dear friend due to pride but that only means the person loved you more than you did him/her at the time because if the reverse is the case, the power of love wouldn't have allowed pride in. Comparing the damage caused by  love with that caused by pride will only end up downplaying the toxicity of pride.

    Pride is deadly and can unleash a tirade unfortunate events. It causes pain, disillusionment and heartbreak too but the number of hearts pride has broken pales in comparison with those broken by love. That's the way I see it. ‎

    After 9 years in marriage with my hubby with 3 kids, my husband started going out with other ladies and showed me cold love, on several occasions he threatens to divorce me if I dare question him about his affair with other ladies, I was totally devastated and confused until a old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called Dr kizzekpe who help people with the relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contact him, he helped me cast a spell and within 48hours my husband came back to me and started apologizing, now he has stopped going out with ladies and he his with me for good and for real. Contact this great spell caster for your relationship or marriage problem at kizzekpespells@outlook.com,Goodluck
