Five signs you’re dating the wrong person
Love is a beautiful thing but some emotions can be mistaken for love.
Sometimes, in hindsight, we may sigh, beat ourselves up, and shake our heads when we remember the people we dated or thought we loved in the past.
To avoid such situations, it is important to be alert enough to know whether the person you’re currently dating is good for you.
Here are some ways to know you’re dating the wrong person:
Conversing with them is difficult
If you find it difficult to hold a meaningful and interesting conversation with a partner, it’s very much possible you are both not meant to be together.
The power of good conversation is that it allows individuals to learn more about each other and convey their feelings, ideas and hopes comprehensively.
On the other hand, if it is difficult discussing individual and collective future goals together, you also probably may want to
double-check if your current partner is the person for you.
Feeling low when you’re with them
Every good relationship is one that is filled up with mutual respect, support and encouragement. If your current partner is lacking in any of these qualities, it is high time you thought about your rapport.
No one should ever make you feel less than special, most especially not your partner.
If you always feel less beautiful, less smart, or less human when you’re with your partner, then it’s totally obvious you two are not compatible.
Worse still, if your partner either mentally, physically, verbally or emotionally abuses you, it’s best you flee the relationship.
Dating is designed for individuals to learn from, love, grow together all-round, and be happy in. Any relationship causing you sadness, depression, anxiety and torment should be discontinued.
They’re too clingy
We all want attention, especially from that special someone. But like every other thing known to man, too much of everything is unhealthy. A partner that is too clingy is a big no-no.
It’s cute and adorable when a partner calls or texts several times a day to check up on you but when a partner begins to constantly want your 24-hour day to day attention, maybe it’s time to pause and question if you really want to be dating that person.
A jealous partner will never trust you and will constantly find a means to blame you for things. Never, ever think a jealous partner will change overnight because they won’t.
They never seem to listen to you
At the top of the list of relationship killers is ineffective communication and this involves listening.
If your partner is never interested in what you have to say, then that’s a big problem. Chances are that such partners will come in between your dreams, goals and aspirations, often dismissing them.
Some partners may even go as far as pretending they listen to you but deep down, you know they don’t. If you feel this way, maybe it’s time to back out.
Your gut feeling tells you the relationship is not working. If your intuition repeatedly tells you something is not right with the person you’re dating, chances are, you might be right.
It’s never enough to ignore the way our minds feel about others, especially someone we are dating and serious with.

Meagan Good, Jonathan Majors are engaged
The Hollywood stars Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors are engaged.
The couple announced their engagement on Sunday at the 2024 Ebony Power 100 List event held at Nya Studios in Los Angeles.
Meagan showed off her engagement ring while the lovebirds posed for loved-up photos on the red carpet.
They also revealed why they chose the particular event to go public with their engagement.
“Ebony Power 100 is the event that we met at in the bathrooms, in the unisex bathroom,” Meagan said.
Good was married to DeVon Franklin, the US pastor and producer, from 2012 to 2021. She and Majors were first linked romantically in May 2023.
Earlier this year, Good opened up about how friends advised her about the scrutiny she could face by being with him. She also discussed how she has stood by him through his challenges.
Majors was found guilty of assault in the third degree and harassment in December 2023, following a March 2023 arrest in New York.
He was arrested after allegedly assaulting Grace Jabbari, his ex-girlfriend.
In April 2024, Majors was sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling, which includes a 52-week, in-person program in Los Angeles. He was also required to continue mental health therapy and provide regular updates on his progress.
Also, the court issued a permanent protective order between Majors and Jabbari, with potential jail time for any violations of his sentencing terms.

I’m not an advocate for divorce, says May Edochie
May Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has shared her thoughts on marriage and family.
In an interview with AY Comedian on his podcast Glasshouse with AY, May opened up about her personal views on relationships, divorce, and the public scrutiny she has faced since her husband’s controversial marriage to actress Judy Austin.
May and Yul have been at the center of media attention since April 2022, when Yul revealed Judy Austin as his second wife and announced their first child together.
Despite the controversy surrounding her marriage, May took the opportunity to clarify her stance on relationships. “Some men see me like I am misleading their wives.I love family, I love marriage. I know in today’s world, there is this conception about marriage that is totally different. Ideally, marriage is the basis for family. Without family, there will be no you or me. That’s how it used to be.”
May strongly asserted that she does not advocate for divorce. “I am not in any way advocating divorce or separation,” she said. “Let me categorically state here that I am not an advocate of divorce.”

In a chat with journalists, the movie producer said as a public figure, he cannot control others’ opinions or narratives about his marriage.
Kazim added that he stays focused on his work, believing the end justifies the means.
“When you find yourself in the public domain, you cannot really control a whole lot of opinions or narratives. What is most important is for you to be focused and at the end of the day, the end justifies the means,” he said.
