| Posted: 28 Aug 2013 05:00 AM PDT Do you wonder why your marriage or relationship isn’t going as well as you might have imagined it would? Do you think it’s because the person you thought you loved has changed or doesn’t really love you back? If you have such doubts about your relationship then there is a chance that you might not be as good a partner as you think you are. Many people don’t realize what they are doing wrong and don’t understand what happened when their relationships go south. If you are living in a bad marriage then before thinking about ending it, try to find out if the fault lies with you. If you are in a relationship that’s not working it’s even more important that you find out about your skills as a partner before you get married. Of course the chance always remains that your spouse is the problem but since the place to start is with yourself and to honestly judge yourself before blaming others. To help you in this here are 6 signs you’re a bad spouse. 6. You Don’t Listen:Are you someone who likes to talk and talk all the time? If so then the chances are that you are a bad listener and your spouse is tired of having no one who’ll listen to them. Hearing and listening are very different things. If you are quietly hearing what your partner is saying without paying much attention to the subject matter then that’s not listening. Listening takes effort and concentration especially if your partner has communication problems. Honestly ask yourself if you really listen to your partner or just pretend to listen while dreaming silly day dreams in your head. 5. You Don’t Talk:As important listening is, talking is just as important if not more. The opposite extreme is of the partner who never talks. You might be a good listener but you also need to be able to express your own feelings well. If you can’t do that then your partner will never be able to know how you really feel. It is important to be able to talk and express your feelings and point of views, without which the relationship is bound to fail sooner or later. You can’t expect your partner to instinctively understand your every thought without you vocalizing it or communicating in any other way. 4. You Work a Lot:If you are a workaholic then chances are that your relationship isn’t going well. How can it when you spend most of your time at work. A lot of people just need to work a lot to stay happy. Such people try to justify their addiction to work by rationalizing that they are doing it for their family’s sake. But the best thing you can give your family is not money but time. If you are a workaholic and stay a workaholic even after finding an interesting partner then you are a bad spouse. 3. You Try to Control:If you are the kind of person who likes to stay in charge then you could be a bad spouse. It all depends on how extreme this part of your nature is. If you want to control so much that you manipulate and bully and dominate the other person completely then you are definitely a bad spouse. You might think that you are doing it for their benefit but it’s just a rationalization. The best thing you can do for anyone is to help them be independent. 2. You Try to Flatter:The opposite of the controlling manipulative type is the people pleaser. Some people are just submissive and try to please everyone they meet. They do this the most with their partner. So much that it becomes flattery. While this might help inflate the ego of your partner and might work for a while, it’s not a recipe for a successful marriage. Just as dominating isn’t right, submitting isn’t right either. Both partners need to be independent and co-dependent in a delicate balance. 1. You Can’t Control Your Anger:If you are one of those people who get angry at small things all the time then you are going to make a bad spouse in spite of whatever good qualities you have. The truth is that there will be fights in a marriage and if you can’t control your anger it will be very hard for your partner to always love you. If you’ve ever hit your partner then you should just accept that you are the worst type of partner out there. If you just verbally abusive when you are angry, you don’t win any prizes either. The hallmark of a good spouse is to stay calm during arguments and always be civil and respect their partner. The post 6 Signs You’re A Bad Spouse appeared first on TopYaps.  |
| 6 Effective Tips To Avoid Dengue Posted: 28 Aug 2013 02:00 AM PDT Dengue, commonly called break bone fever, is an infectious disease with symptoms of severe pain in joints, skin rash, headaches and fever. If the disease develops into dengue shock syndrome or dengue hemorrhagic fever, the condition could prove fatal to the patient. While most of the infectious diseases have been controlled, dengue is on rise since 1960's. Dengue fever is transmitted by the species of mosquito Aedes, who often feed during early morning hours or early in the evening. Given that the vaccine for the terrible malady has not been developed yet, the best option left is to avoid it with right measures. Here is the list of 6 effective tips to avoid Dengue fever infection through mosquito bites. 6. Eliminate Mosquito Habitat:Larvae of the mosquitoes are aquatic; hence they need water to survive. Aedes mosquitoes live around residential areas in places where water remains standing in decorative earthenware, flower pots, drums, or in thrown trash like, old cans, broken pots, old automobile parts etc. We can control the breeding of mosquitoes by eliminating their habitats which facilitate their growth. Clean the clogged drains which are preferred by mosquitoes for laying their larvae. Stirring the stagnant water occasionally will destroy the larvae; moreover we can add insecticides or get rid of stagnant water to control mosquito population. 5. Biological Control:Mosquitoes can also be kept at bay by the biological control method as an alternative option which does not pose health hazards like insect repellents or insecticides. Introducing crustaceans and fishes that prey on mosquito's larvae into the decorative ponds, pools or other such water bodies around the home will prevent breeding of mosquitoes. Some natural enemies of the mosquitoes like the dragon fly, turtles, beetle larvae should be encouraged to breed in the environment as they are effective hunters of Aedes aegypti. Scientists are testing the new field of genetics to create genetically modified mosquitoes which may prevent dengue in future. 4. Plan Your Outdoor Activities:If you plan to be outdoor between two to three hours after sunrise or in the evening before sunset; than you should take precautions to prevent Aedes mosquito bites, as this is their feeding time. They often bite during the daytime when the weather is overcast. Unless it is utterly important, avoid being in places which are infested with mosquitoes. Be vigilant in places where dengue fever has become endemic, or where a fresh outbreak has occurred. 3. Use Mosquito Repellent:If you are outside during the peak biting hours of mosquitoes, that is dawn, dusk or early evening, then make sure you have insect repellent rubbed over the exposed body parts. If you are using sunscreen, apply mosquito repellent over it. Permethrin is a great mosquito repellent, but unfortunately it cannot be used directly on skin. It is safe to spray your clothes, shoes, net, curtains, or outdoor gears with Permethrin to keep the pests away. DEET and Picaridin are the EPA registered effective mosquito repellents that can prevent dengue fever, though they have some side-effects. Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil, Catnip, garlic, citronella, neem, black pepper and lavender are some great natural mosquito repellents which are good for your health. Growing lotus in ponds keeps mosquitoes away as they are not just great mosquito repellents but also kill the larvae. 2. Dress Smartly:Cover yourself as much as possible to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. The crafty mosquitoes can penetrate body hugging clothes, therefore, it is wise to wear loose long sleeved dresses that do not allow the proboscis, a needle like straw through which mosquitoes draw blood, to probe inside the flesh. Though many people do not prefer thick or tightly woven fabrics, they are the best bet against insect bites. Avoid dark colors, as mosquitoes seem to be attracted to them, moreover you cannot spot mosquitoes on dark colors. Pay special attention to your shoes, as mosquitoes often hover just above the ground. 1. Keep Your House Safe from Mosquito Invasion:Mosquitoes love to feed on human blood when they are sleeping, as the still bodies allow them to suck the blood at their own comfortable pace. Keeping your home safe from mosquitoes, especially during night is very important to prevent the spread of dengue fever. Air conditioned homes are safe, since mosquitoes do not prefer cool environment, but not everyone can afford it. Keeping the doors and windows screened, or sleeping under the mosquito net provides enough protection too. Use safe insect repellents that keep the house pest free.
