Without even realizing it, you could be poisoning your relationship.
There are several things which have the power to erode the happiness and love in your relationship. What is more, these things are little habits which you and/or your partner might not even realize you have.
While initially, they may not seem that important, a closer look at what they can result in proves that these nine little habits have the power to dissolve even the happiest relationship.
1. Not saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’.
Of course, it is normal and natural to forget saying this from time to time. However, if this becomes a habit, you could risk losing your partner. By saying please and thank you, you show them that you not only appreciate what they do for you but that you respect their time and efforts. Ultimately, you let them know that you do not take them – or what they do for you – for granted.
2. Becoming too comfortable.
It is a blessing to find someone who will love you regardless of your flaws and imperfections. Everyone should feel comfortable and as though they can be themselves without fearing judgment. Nevertheless, if this comfort goes too far, it could become an issue. In the same way that everyone deserves to be comfortable, everyone deserves to feel appreciated. By becoming lazy and not putting effort into the relationship, you can make your partner feel as though they are being taken for granted. In addition to this, you can make them think that you expect to be loved no matter what. Keeping the spark alive is important if you want your relationship to last.
After love, trust is the most important element. If you do not trust your partner (or vice versa), your relationship will rapidly fall apart. You could risk making your partner feel controlled or suffocated if your lack of trust goes too far. In addition to this, you too will feel unhappy as a lack of trust means that you could be in a constant state of insecurity and paranoia.
4. Always being on your phone.
If you are texting, scrolling, or reading emails when you are with your partner, you could ruin your relationship. Doing this leaves your partner feeling as though they are not your priority and that they bore you. At the end of the day, nobody wants to be in a relationship where they feel unappreciated and taken for granted. Sooner or later, your partner will find someone who shows a genuine interest in what they have to say.
5. Not being affectionate.
While everyone needs different levels of affection, everyone needs to feel loved. Withholding affection or being annoyed when your partner is affectionate is extremely harmful to your relationship. Being affectionate with your partner makes them feel loved and also shows them that you crave their love.
6. Acting arrogant and superior.
When two partners argue, they should work on resolving issues instead of trying to prove each other wrong. Treating your partner in a condescending and patronizing way, makes them feel disrespected and unappreciated. In addition to this, it shows them that you view yourself as being better and smarter than them; in other words, they begin to realize that you do not see their real worth and value. As a result, they are likely to break things off in order to find someone who appreciates them.
Without proper communication, your relationship cannot work. You need to be open and honest about your feelings and thoughts. Similarly, you should make your partner feel as though they can voice their concerns whenever they feel like something in the relationship needs to be fixed. It is only through proper communication that you can identify issues and resolve them.
8. Lying about small things.
Lying about small, meaningless things could erode trust. Unsurprisingly, you will leave your partner wondering what else you are lying about if you lie about the smallest of things. This leads to a lack of trust and before you know it, your relationship can be beyond repair.
9. Waiting to discuss what angers you.
When your partner angers or irritates you, make sure that you point it out immediately. If you bottle things up, you will only encourage the anger and soon, resentment and bitterness will begin to grow. This means that one day, you will inevitably let all of these feelings out in the open. When you do, it will be much worse than it would have been had you mentioned it earlier on.
Sometimes, it is the little things that can make a happy relationship turn into a nightmare.
Make sure that you pay attention to the habits that you have and how they can affect your partner.

iheartintelligence--2020-10-08--5 signs you are a BAD FRIEND and how to be better

Sometimes , we have to admit that maybe we are the ones at fault .
When we face issues in our relationships and friendships , it is much easier to put the blame on the other person than to look within .
However , sometimes , the fault lies within us and we do not even realize it .
Kelsey Borresen , a writer for HuffPost , explains that there are 5 signs you might be a bad friend and advises how you can become a better one .
Problem # 1 : You steer the conversation back to you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and talking about their problems , do you interrupt and steer the conversation back to you and your life ?

When a friend confides in you , they are hoping that you will either help them find a solution or that you will just be there to provide support by listening .
Sometimes , listening is all it takes to be a good friend .
If you get the urge to interrupt , stop and ask yourself if it is necessary .
Problem # 2 : You commit to plans , knowing you will cancel Of course , it is normal to cancel plans every once in a while .

Always canceling on your friends could make them feel like you do not value their time .
What is more , they may even begin to think that you do not like spending time with them .
Psychologist and friendship expert Irene S. Levine spoke to the HuffPost , saying that one should resist the urge to respond immediately .
She explained that ‘ you don ’ t have to acquiesce to everything a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to turn them down , do so at the onset , not at the last minute when they are depending on you .
Only make commitments you are able to keep.
’ Problem # 3 : You never check up on friends or initiate plans If you never initiate plans and seldom check up on your friends , they might start to think that you do not value the friendship .
Taking this further , they may feel as though they are in a one-sided friendship as they are always the ones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you .
It is important to note that not checking-up on your friends makes them feel as though you do not care about how they are doing .
Solution # 3 : Remind your friends that you are invested in them Levine explains that ‘ enduring friendships need to be reciprocal .
If one person is always the one doing the initiating , your friends may take your passivity as a lack of interest in the friendship [ … ] Sharing your interests with your friends — like asking to simultaneously watch a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic , or inviting them to social distance with you in your backyard — enriches the friendship.
’ Problem # 4 : You do not respect your friend ’ s boundaries If you ask your friend questions to which they do not want to respond , do not push them .
Similarly , if you want to do something and they explain that they can not afford to , do not keep on trying to persuade them .
Respect their boundaries the same way you would want them to respect yours .
Your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an answer could push your friends away .
Learn to put yourself in the position of the other person so that you can show compassion , support , and understanding .
Ensure that you make your friends feel heard and that they know that you want them to feel comfortable .
If you are incapable of being happy for your friend , you are being harmful to their wellbeing .

It ’ s just hard for me because… ’ can be the starting point for a meaningful conversation that will ultimately strengthen your friendship.

When your friend is confiding in you and talking about their problems, do you interrupt and steer the conversation back to you and your life? If so, you might be pushing them away. When you steer the conversation away from them, you make them feel like you are not interested in what they have to say. As a result, you come across as unsupportive and, put bluntly, not a good friend.
Solution #1: Learn to become more attentive
The next time your friend begins talking, make sure that you maintain eye contact and listen carefully. When a friend confides in you, they are hoping that you will either help them find a solution or that you will just be there to provide support by listening. Sometimes, listening is all it takes to be a good friend. If you get the urge to interrupt, stop and ask yourself if it is necessary.
Problem #2: You commit to plans, knowing you will cancel
Of course, it is normal to cancel plans every once in a while. However, if you commit to going somewhere or doing something when you already know that you will not follow through, you are being inconsiderate. Always canceling on your friends could make them feel like you do not value their time. What is more, they may even begin to think that you do not like spending time with them.
Solution #2: ‘Resist the urge to respond immediately’
Psychologist and friendship expert Irene S. Levine spoke to the HuffPost, saying that one should resist the urge to respond immediately. She explained that ‘you don’t have to acquiesce to everything a friend asks […] If you need to turn them down, do so at the onset, not at the last minute when they are depending on you. Only make commitments you are able to keep.’
Problem #3: You never check up on friends or initiate plans
If you never initiate plans and seldom check up on your friends, they might start to think that you do not value the friendship. Taking this further, they may feel as though they are in a one-sided friendship as they are always the ones to check-up and make plans to see you. It is important to note that not checking-up on your friends makes them feel as though you do not care about how they are doing.
Solution #3: Remind your friends that you are invested in them
Levine explains that ‘enduring friendships need to be reciprocal. If one person is always the one doing the initiating, your friends may take your passivity as a lack of interest in the friendship […] Sharing your interests with your friends — like asking to simultaneously watch a TV series that you choose during the pandemic, or inviting them to social distance with you in your backyard — enriches the friendship.’
Problem #4: You do not respect your friend’s boundaries
If you ask your friend questions to which they do not want to respond, do not push them. Similarly, if you want to do something and they explain that they cannot afford to, do not keep on trying to persuade them. Respect their boundaries the same way you would want them to respect yours.
Solution #4: Make your friends feel supported and understood.
Your inability to take ‘no’ for an answer could push your friends away. Learn to put yourself in the position of the other person so that you can show compassion, support, and understanding. Ensure that you make your friends feel heard and that they know that you want them to feel comfortable.
Problem #5: You resent your friend’s success
If you are incapable of being happy for your friend, you are being harmful to their wellbeing. Everyone deserves a friend who can be happy for and proud of their achievements. Feeling envious and jealous of your friend’s job, home or relationship suggests that you do not want them to be happy (or at least, not happier than you).
Solution #5: Talk to your friend about your feelings
Surprisingly, psychologist Miriam Kirmayer suggests that you should talk to your friend about the envy you feel. ‘Hearing that someone is envious of us can feel particularly awkward or uncomfortable, regardless of whether it’s something we have control over […] But saying something like: ‘I know I’ve been a little distant lately and I wanted you to know that it’s because I’ve been struggling with…’ or ‘I want you to know that I’m really happy for you. It’s just hard for me because…’ can be the starting point for a meaningful conversation that will ultimately strengthen your friendship.’
If you really want to (and if you really work for it), you can mend your broken friendship.
Finding faults within ourselves is a sign of strength, growth, and maturity.

Whether they are immature mean girls, frenemies, bullies who behave friendly only when no one else is around, they all have common behavioral patterns that can help you avoid another hurtful fake friendship.
Check out these 8 characteristics of fake friends to have a better knowledge of their kind and avoid letting them in your inner circle.
1. Fake friends can’t be trusted.
One of the foundations of a good friendship is being able to trust each other unconditionally. If the trust is not there, calling someone a friend will have no significant meaning. Real friends keep each other’s secrets, have each other’s backs, and never talk behind one another’s backs. On the contrary, fake friends are capable of all of these things and more. If you can’t trust the person you believe is your friend, they are most probably faking their part.
2. They are extremely selfish.
We all have certain episodes where we act a little too selfish. But then we realize the wrongfulness of our attitude and have the decency to apologize for it. However, fake friends behave selfishly all the time. They call you only when they need you, and refuse to make compromises regardless of the situation. Besides, they always want things to go their way, and when it doesn’t happen, they get disturbingly frustrated.
3. Fake friends lie.
This isn’t a surprise, right? People who pretend to be your friends only to take advantage of you will surely lie their way to your soul. They will lie about their interests to match yours, they will embellish their achievements to impress you, and they will manipulate you into thinking they have your best interest at heart. If you catch someone in multiple lies, better be cautious around them and avoid sharing personal details of your life.
4. They live for gossip and drama.
Real friends strive to avoid drama, intrigues, and gossips. They don’t spread rumors or tell others’ secrets to people who might take advantage of such private information. On the other hand, fake friends live for these things. They love seeing others’ lives fall apart. And if the drama isn’t as intriguing as they want it to be, they won’t hesitate to spread rumors to make things worse.
5. Fake friends envy you.
If a friend of yours always undermines your success and often kills your happiness with hurtful comments, they are most probably jealous. Seeing you happy makes them feel bad about themselves, which is a clear sign they are not real with you. A good friend will be glad to see you succeed. They will congratulate you on your achievements and will encourage you to aim even higher. The difference is tremendous.
6. They make you pretend to be someone else.
A huge red flag indicating that you’re wasting your time on a fake friend is that they somehow make you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. You just can’t be yourself around them. You put a mask on and fake a whole new persona that has almost nothing to do with your true self. What you need to understand is that true friends will like you for who you are.
7. Fake friends sell you out.
Unfortunately, we realize we’ve been surrounded by fake friends the moment they sell us out to save their own skin. In the face of possible danger, they choose to betray you instead of back you up. Only a real friend never leaves your side, even if it means they will have to risk themselves.
8. They are constantly criticizing you.
No matter how good at taking criticism you are, their constant judgment can drastically decrease your self-esteem. Even when they’re trying to convince you they are only being honest with you for your own good, you can sometimes sense they are doing it on purpose. They might still want to see you do good but never better than them. Contrarily, a true friend will help you throughout the rough patches and will encourage you to right all your wrongs.
Someone once said: “Friends are supposed to be there for you when you cry, not the reason you cry.” If you can’t trust them your secrets, if you feel the need to act differently around them, or if they constantly put you down and make you feel bad about yourself, they aren’t your friends. Let that sink in.

Face It, No One Likes A Complainer

Nobody likes to be around people who are constantly complaining .
It is normal to complain from time to time ; however , if complaining becomes a habit , you might end up hurting yourself and pushing away those around you .
According to Lisa Juliano , Psy.D .
at Psychology Today , there are three different types of complaining : the active effective complaint , venting , and the ineffective complaint .
This kind of complaint is one that is directed at something specific which falls short of expectations .
In this case , the person who has an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ‘ active complainer ’ and they tend to be assertive and confident .
In other words , they ‘ complain ’ about the situation that has not met their expectations and take action to get what they want .
There are two ways of venting : one is healthy whereas the other could be toxic .
In the first case , one vents about a situation with the hopes of finding a solution to their problem .
The other case refers to unhealthy venting which can turn into whining as one complains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action .
In this case , one generally complains about something over which they lack control .
Juliano explains that ‘ ineffective complainers often see the glass as half-empty to protect themselves from disappointment ’ .
She further states that these complaints are not intended to change the situation but to rather create a mental state which helps the complainer manage their disappointment .
Juliano clarifies this by giving the following example : ‘ an actor who has been struggling with booking jobs might complain that auditions are never fair ’ .
Ineffective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pain .
By turning complaining into a habit you risk poisoning your life .
If you are a chronic complainer , you need to stop and reevaluate your perspective on life and the world around you .
Those who turn complaining into a habit tend to look for faults in everything – and everyone – around them .
This means that they can never be satisfied with the life they lead as they are only capable of seeing its negative aspects .
Eventually , you will not only cause yourself tremendous pain but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around you as they may find it difficult to constantly absorb your negative energy .
Shifting your mindset and changing your perspective can be extremely difficult .
After decades of looking at the world through a negative lens , many need to turn to therapists in order to learn how to view the things and people around them in a more positive light .

Heartstopping footage shows the child being snatched and stuffed in a car right after she gets off her school bus.
A man from Rhode Island has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl after she remembered the precise Burger King order he bought her after he committed the crimes.
Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment the child was taken from the street in the daytime on Monday, a little after she got off her school bus.
The clip shows the girl walking on a sidewalk around 3 pm when an SUV stops in front of her, blocking her path. She then tries to walk around the vehicle, when the facemask-covered driver storms out, opens a rear door, grabs her from behind, and stuffs her in the back before driving off.
One hour later, the man dropped her off at the same place, and according to authorities, she immediately let her parents know she had been sexually abused.
She was then brought to Hasbro Children’s Hospital for a checkup, WPRI reported, as authorities launched a massive manhunt.
The victim told officers the criminal had taken her to an isolated location and sexually abused her, before taking her to a Burger King drive-thru to get her food.
When the girl was able to remember her precise food order – 10x spicy chicken nuggets and a soda – officers had the clue they needed to find the man.
Authorities then visited a number of Burger King’s and looked through their CCTV files, until they noticed the man’s SUV at the 966 Park Avenue restaurant. The manager there looked through the orders until he found the matching one and provided officers with the abuser’s debit card information.

After receiving a warrant, officers went to the bank, where they were given the name and address of 34-year-old Luis Martinez Romero. Authorities said he was holding his baby when he was arrested.
Romero was charged with kidnapping a minor as well as second-degree sexual assault and is being held without bail.
In Rhode Island, sexually assaulting a minor can result in a sentence of 6 to 30 years. Meanwhile, convicted kidnappers can be given 20 years to life.
Police have identified the suspect in the child abduction case as Luis Martinez-Romero, 34, of Cranston.https://t.co/kmh3O6R19M — Shiina LoSciuto (@ShiinaHL) October 7, 2020
Providence Police Chief Hugh Clements said:
“This dangerous individual has been removed from the streets of our city due to the swift and vigilant work of our officers who worked tirelessly on this case.” “We know when individuals commit something like this that they are prone to thrive off of what they had just done, so it’s important to identify and eventually take them off the street.”
While the man has no criminal record in the state, he has ties to Florida so authorities are currently investigating his past there.
“At this point we have him for one event,” Clements added. “It certainly is a possibility there is more than one. There is certainly a possibility there could be several.”
According to Clements, the girl is now safe and doing well.
A spokesperson for Providence Public Schools told CBS Boston that its school bus drivers never drop off children unless there is a grown-up waiting for them – if they are 8 years of age or younger.
“If no adult is present at the time the bus arrives at the bus stop, the bus driver and bus monitor will keep the child on the bus and bring him/her to the bus yard where the parents may then pick up their child,” they said.

The body of Breonna Taylor was motionless in her apartment for a number of minutes as a SWAT team went through her apartment , then checked her pulse… before saying “ She ’ s done.

According to Lonita Baker, the National Bar Association Vice President for Regions and Affiliates and lead counsel representing Taylor’s family,
“This is the most absurd legal maneuvering that I have ever seen. If [Hankison’s] behavior was wanton to those in neighboring apartments, it was likewise wanton to Breonna and Kenny. He should have been charged with wanton murder and another count of wanton endangerment.”
It appears that due process and the presumption of innocence are sometimes maneuverable concepts, used at the convenience of law enforcement. Officers can even deploy the “we feared for our lives” justification as a reason for shooting civilians dead, whether those people are armed or not. That same right, however, was not given to Walker. Apparently, he did not have the right to protect his home against intruders, but officers were justified in killing Breonna because they were shielding themselves from harm. The charges against Walker were dropped back in May.
