Do you feel like every single relationship you’ve been in has been toxic? No matter how beautifully things start, does the relationship become poisonous every time?

You might be the problem. It’s time to start reading the signs you’re the toxic one in the relationship.

If you’ve avoided self-reflection before because you’re worried about what you might discover, don’t. Because recognizing your role in souring your relationships is the first step toward fixing your future relationships.

“Awareness is the first step in making any sort of change” Susan Winter.

Once we’re able to be honest with ourselves and admit our shortcomings, then we’re one step closer to our recovery of wholeness and emotional health.

So here are some of the toxic things you may be doing to your partners, without even realizing it.

You have control issues

There is a difference between being a little bit bossy and being controlling. The difference is that being controlling is about exerting your power over someone . In relationships, being controlling changes the dynamic from being about loving someone to becoming about conquest, or testing your desirability. Relationships are just one more way for you to feel your own sense of power.

You always want things to go your way no matter what

We all want to get our way sometimes, and it’s important to have boundaries. The problem comes when you will do whatever it takes to get your way, even through manipulation or controlling behavior. If you find yourself feeling like your “relationships wouldn’t be any fun if the other person had their way then you are exhibiting some major toxic behavior.

You don’t respect your partner’s privacy

We all get tempted to check on our partner’s social media from time to time, but where it crosses the line is when you begin creeping on things they choose to keep private. This includes reading their email without permission or going through their phone secretly or insisting that they let you do so at any time. If it’s a matter of trust, then that is something you need to resolve with your partner in a healthy way, through better communication, or by splitting up. If it’s about control and a sense of ownership then that’s a sign of toxic behavior.

Always wanting your partner to be exactly the way you want

It’s one thing to offer a partner advice on their life and choices, but it’s something else entirely to insist that they follow it.

You only care about your needs
How tuned into your partner’s wants and needs are you? Are you even aware of them? Are they a priority for you? If you answered no to those questions, you may be self-obsessed, a big factor in toxic relationships.

Grammy-nominated artist Wizkid has sparked widespread excitement among Nigerian fans by hinting at a potential December concert in Lagos.

On November 26, 2024, the superstar posted an Instagram image captioned “Lagos December.” This immediately generated speculation about a live performance.

A post shared by BIG WIZ🦅 (@wizkidayo)

The album remarkably set a new record on Spotify. It secured the largest opening day streams for a Nigerian artist. Also, it demonstrates the musician’s continued global appeal.

“Morayo” features a diverse collaborative lineup, including 16 tracks with guest appearances from prominent artists.

The album showcases Wizkid’s international reach by featuring Afrobeats hitmaker Asake, French artists Tiakola and Anais Cardot, and American musicians Jasmine Sullivan and Brent Faiyaz.

Should the concert materialise, it would mark the first performance Wizkid holds in Lagos since his 2022 Flytime Fest headline appearance.

Fans are particularly intrigued by the potential concert, given Wizkid’s previous statement suggesting his 2022 performance might be the last ticketed show for his Lagos audience.

Industry observers and music enthusiasts are closely monitoring the potential tour plans. The “Morayo” album’s release suggests Wizkid is preparing for a comprehensive tour.

Furthermore, Lagos potentially serves as the inaugural destination for the live concert Wizkid holds for his latest musical work.

The strategic timing of the album release and the cryptic social media post has effectively generated significant anticipation among fans and media outlets.

Wizkid continues to demonstrate his ability to create musical and promotional momentum. He maintains his status as a leading figure in the global music landscape.

Meanwhile, official confirmation remains pending; the “Lagos December” post has successfully generated substantial speculation and excitement.

This could be about a potential homecoming concert that could be a landmark event for Nigerian music fans.

In the clip, Phyna wore a revealing black jumpsuit paired with a bold burgundy afro wig. Her outfit quickly sparked debate among her followers.

Some users criticised her choice of attire, arguing that it was inappropriate for the restaurant’s standards. Others defended the establishment’s decision, stating that enforcing dress codes is their right.

“If you wear a hookers uniform, be prepared to be treated like one,” wrote a user.

“The owner has every right to set rules for their business premises,” said another.

“So another hotel the other day that brought something for the lady to cover her self….Great one…If all these restaurants will start doing this, it will definitely be a big step to correcting this error in the society,” someone else wrote.

The post generated mixed reactions, highlighting contrasting views on personal style and public expectations. The incident fuelled a broader conversation about dress norms and the balance between individual expression and venue policies.

Recall that Phyna dropped her surname and publicly disowned her family on her X page recently. She said that she was tossed around relatives’ homes as a child, adding that she should’ve suspected foul play all along.

5 Fashion Mistakes Men Make That Women Find Unattractive

Fashion Mistakes Guys Make That Turn Women Off | fab.ng

Fashion mistakes guys make can be a common pitfall for many of them. One of the biggest mistakes is wearing clothes that don’t fit properly. Ill-fitting clothes can make you look sloppy and unkempt. It’s important to find clothes that fit well and flatter your body type.

Another common fashion mistake is neglecting grooming. This includes everything from keeping your hair trimmed to maintaining good hygiene. A well-groomed man is always more attractive than one who isn’t.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. While it’s important to find a style that suits you, don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. By avoiding these common fashion mistakes, you can improve your overall style and look your best.

Men should prioritize:

Clean clothing
Proper fit
Quality accessories
Personal grooming
Confident presentation

Style represents self-respect. Attract potential partners through intentional fashion choices.

1. Oversized or ill-fitting clothes

Baggy jeans, sagging pants, or overly large shirts can give the impression of laziness or a lack of attention to appearance. Ill-fitting clothes not only distort your silhouette but also fail to complement your body type.

On the other end of the spectrum, overly tight outfits that restrict movement can look unnatural. Finding clothes that fit well and enhance your proportions shows effort and confidence.

2. Dirty or Worn-Out Shoes

Shoes are often one of the first things people notice. Scuffed, dirty, or outdated footwear can ruin an otherwise polished look.

Women appreciate clean and stylish shoes that match the occasion, whether it’s sleek dress shoes, casual loafers, or crisp sneakers. Regular shoe maintenance goes a long way in making a good impression.

3. Overdoing Accessories

While accessories can enhance an outfit, going overboard with flashy jewellery, large belts, or loud patterns can feel overwhelming. A cluttered look can detract from your overall appearance and personality.

Stick to a few understated, classic accessories like a quality watch or a simple bracelet to keep things balanced and stylish.

4. Wearing wrinkled or stained clothes

Clothing that looks unkempt signals carelessness. Wrinkled shirts or stains, even small ones, suggest a lack of attention to detail.

Taking the time to iron your clothes and ensure they’re clean shows that you value presentation and take pride in your appearance.

5. Inappropriate Dressing for the Occasion

Wearing gym clothes to a dinner date or showing up in a suit to a casual hangout can send the wrong message. Dressing appropriately for the setting shows social awareness and respect for the people you’re with.

Pay attention to dress codes and find ways to incorporate your style within the boundaries of the occasion.

Fashion is a reflection of your personality and how much you value self-presentation. Avoiding these common fashion mistakes guys make can elevate your style and make a positive, lasting impression.
