Why Men Pull Away: Top 3 Reasons

Almost every woman has experienced the panic and uncertainty that occur when her man starts pulling away or withdrawing. Maybe it happens out of the blue, maybe something sparks it, either way, it’s a miserable feeling, one that leaves you feeling powerless and painfully insecure.

1. He’s Stressed

It’s pretty widely known that when a man is stressed, he retreats to his “man cave.” However, there is a big difference between knowing something and really understanding it. Most women have a hard time accepting that this is how men deal with issues because when we are having a difficult time, our first instinct is to talk about it and seek comfort from friends or loved ones.

Men don’t operate this way. When a man is having a hard time, he needs to pull back and work through his issues on his own. The biggest mistake you can make is not giving him the space to do this.

2. You’re Being Needy and He Feels Suffocated

A man doesn’t have to be dealing with personal issues to feel the need to retreat. Sometimes too much neediness from you is enough to cause him to back away. Neediness isn’t so much a set of behaviors as it is a state of mind. If a man feels like you need him in order to feel OK in your life, or that you need him to fill some sort of emotional void for you, he will instinctively pull back.

Men want to feel wanted and desired, not needed. This is a very important distinction that most women overlook.

3. He’s Having Doubts About the Relationship

Doubts are normal, especially as a relationship deepens. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything about you or how great of a girlfriend you’ve been. Maybe he’s not ready for something so serious, or maybe he’s a little unsure if you’re really the woman he sees himself spending the rest of his life with. And that’s OK. Two people can love each other very much and still not be right for each other in the long run. Maybe something happened to spark these doubts (a fight, jealousy, lack of trust, etc.) or maybe it happened out of the blue. Don’t waste your time analyzing the situation to pinpoint exactly what you did wrong, this will only make you crazy.

France to Peg Age of Sexual Consent at 15

Global News | Nov. 17, 2018

France has decided to set its legal age of sexual consent at 15.

This means that under the law, sex between an adult and anyone younger than 15 will be considered rape.

BBC reports that the country previously did not have a legal age of consent, and sex with people under 15 currently have to be proven as forced and coerced to be considered as rape.

Offenders may only be charged with sexual abuse with minors under the current legislation, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of €75,000, same as sexual assault of non-minors.

Isn't this ridiculous.

How To Know When It’s Time To End Your Relationship

NOVEMBER 9, 2018

BY OLAMIDE BUSARI

These signs that a relationship is over are quite subtle. But they are just as valid as any other major reason to end things. Here they are:

He’s incapable of loving you the way you want to be loved

He might truly love you, but are you really being loved how you want to be loved?  Every individual’s definition of love is different. For instance, you may need more attention than he’s capable of providing or you have certain expectations that he simply cannot meet. In cases like these, it’s best that you both end things so you can each find someone more compatible with your respective needs.

A lack of tolerance

Nobody is perfect and your partner will definitely have quirks that may rub you off the wrong way. Usually, happy couples learn to tolerate each other and keep things going despite these tiny annoyances. However, what works for one person may not work for another. For example, if you’re a clean freak and your man is super messy, it may seem ridiculous to end things over that. But if you find that his habits are making you irritable and constantly uncomfortable, you may want to consider the fact that the relationship is over. Otherwise, resentment may fester and end up causing major problems down the line.

You stop caring

Yes, you can fall out of love with someone. It happens for a lot of reasons and while there’s a possibility of working things out, in many situations, it simply means the relationship is over. When you stop caring about your partner’s plans, goals, whether he’s had a bad day, and so on, it could mean you’ve emotionally checked out of that relationship. It’s only fair to do so physically as well.

In some cases, these situations can turn around for the better with loads of therapy and communication. But when you get to this point, especially earlier on in the relationship, you may want to cut your losses and move on.

So, have you decided that your relationship is over? Here are a few tips that should help you when breaking up with your boyfriend.

Why People Hate and Fear Maths

Edu Life | Nov. 08, 2018

9 out of 10 people believe that mathematics teachers are not great educators. They believe this is the first reason why many people are genuinely afraid of mathematics and fail to do well at it.

Many research are very interested in why people are afraid of mathematics but are yet to come to terms why or how math anxiety develops. Although research has shown that math anxiety and math abilities are related, no study so far has been able to tell us which comes first. In other words, we do not know if being bad at math causes math anxiety, or if having math anxiety makes people bad at maths.

In general terms, there is a notion that this ability stems from the fear of numbers. This is so common that some qualify it as a phobia—numerophobia or arithmophobia.

Here is a list of possible reasons people hate mathematics.

Abstract Quality

Maths does not have a shape and colour. It is not something that people can relate to plainly or visualize. Visualization comes from the everyday experience and relating mathematics with it requires a very good mathematics teacher.

Bad Teachers

Most people especially in Nigeria, do not enjoy teaching mathematics. Hardly will you meet someone who had genuinely wanted to study maths. The university often gives them the course as an alternative to what they originally wanted.

People’s Disposition to Maths

Many children hate maths because people around them hated maths. A strong dislike for mathematics can influence children and because they are impressionable affect them. Everything around them affects them. Be it dislike to mathematics shown by parents or teachers.

Teaching Methods

Most maths systems have not evolved. This makes teaching mathematics boring and monotonous. Students are unable to visualize the concept taught by the teacher. Therefore, their interest level goes down. Hence they start developing a disassociation with the subject. If this disassociation continues for a longer period of time child starts hating mathematics.

Mathematics Take Time

Many people hate maths because it takes time. Calculation and numbers.
