Do you notice that your partner isn’t as committed to the relationship as they used to be?

Your partner may seem distracted and distant. You might have asked what was wrong, but they said nothing. Yet you’ve noticed significant changes.

What could be causing this distraction? Here are the biggest relationship distractions:

1. Technology & social media

Do you find yourself scrolling through social media and laughing at TikTok videos while your partner is right there?

Constantly using social media and gadgets like video games can create a significant rift in a relationship, leaving your partner feeling neglected and distant.

For men, football season can cause a lot of distraction and space in a relationship.

It’s important to disconnect from technology and focus on quality time with your partner.

You could also pick an activity involving technology you both love like sharing reels on Instagram or TiktTok and playing videos games with each other.

2. Work pressure

If your partner is stressed at work or is faced with a lot of pressure, they can withdraw from you.

Balancing a demanding job or career with a relationship can be exhausting, leaving little time or energy for your partner.

Work stress causes tension and affects the quality of time spent together.

3. Friends and an active social life

If you are always hanging out with the ‘boys’ or the ‘girls’, that will barely leave any time for the relationship.

While friendships should not be neglected, putting too much emphasis on social activities outside of the relationship might lead to neglect of your partner.

This might lead to feelings of jealousy or insecurity.

4. A past relationship or a new crush

A recent or past ex can be a major distraction in a relationship.

Whether through past traumas, maintaining contact, or any form of communication, exes can become significant distractions.

If these distractions persist, trust can be eroded, leading to the relationship’s demise.

If they meet someone new who they fancy, they may spend considerable time trying to win their affection, and that just means less time for you.

5. Financial worries

Relationships can be strained due to financial concerns, debt, or money issues.

When one person is worried about their financial situation; it can keep couples from enjoying life and their partner’s companionship.

How to get over the distractions

Prioritize your partner.

It’s important to make time for your partner by scheduling special dates, outings and activities so you can spend quality time with each other.

If these issues arise in a relationship, it’s important to address them openly and make necessary changes.

Failure to do so can lead to the relationship’s downfall.

Jumoke George, the Nollywood actress, has spoken out against the growing trend of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgeries among women.

In a recent Instagram post, George expressed concerns that some women are risking their lives for unnecessary cosmetic procedures.

The movie star also questioned the motivations behind undergoing BBL surgery, asking if it’s solely to impress men.

“Are you doing it just because of pe**s or what? Are you not beautiful enough?” George asked women.

The actress emphasized that women should appreciate their natural beauty, created in God’s image.

She also highlighted the potential health risks associated with BBL, including knee problems due to the added weight.

“Women, what is the colour of our problem? Because if I say I understand I am lying. The scripture says every creature was made in the image of God the most high,” she said.

“You females looking at me whose image do you think you were created? Are you telling God that He does not know what He was doing? God is perfect. What then are we looking for? God has given some long life but they intentionally cut off their lives.

“What exactly are you looking for in doing BBL? You just want to enlarge your buttocks… Are you not beautiful enough? If any man tells you that you are not beautiful enough and go enhance what God has given you or recreate yourself, tell him he is not in his right senses.

“You hear news about ladies going for BBL and losing their lives. Something that people like me who has it is even feeling it like a weight. Because when it gets to a stage it contributes to knee issues. Hardly will you see someone with big butt that would not have knee problem.

“Stop all these BBL thing. Go and rest. I know some people will listen while others will not. But it saddens my heart.”
