This weekend has been very hectic for me, not because I have been working o! Not at all! To the contrary I have been on my annual leave, so I have had time to rest, a bit. However, mentally I am drained. My name is Atinuke, I am a very hardworking lady, and quite focused, so to a large extent I can confidently say that I know what I want, but I can't say same when it comes to relationship. At this point, I am at a cross road! And quite desperate for a way out! Hmmm!

I met Williams at a friend's birthday party, and it wasn't even love at first sight for me, though I couldn't help but notice his height, and charismatic disposition. After few drinks, and some snacks, he walked up to me with the most charming smile. We exchanged pleasantaries, and that was it! Our relationship kicked off. Well, I would say so far, so good! Nonetheless, I have my concerns, and that stems from our different interest, and goals.

I am not the outgoing person, I respect my privacy a lot! I would rather be 'invisible" in a public space whilst I go about my business, but this is not the case with Williams! He announces everything, from what he eats to the latest happenings in his life. Imagine how I felt when I saw our pictures on the headlines, annoucing our trip to Dubai, during a vacation😳 Right before that week, Williams had acquired a new estate worth billions, and the news was all over the place, courtesy of a press interview he had granted. I know as a celebrity that he is, some of these things can be difficult to keep down; but at least, I believe that we can actually be deliberate about the information we share. I wouldn't want a situation where I would wake up to the 'breaking News'  of our private moments on the pages of the dailies!

   Williams sees nothing wrong with this life style, rather he sees it as a marketing, and publicity plattform for his brand, hmmm. While I'm yet to come to terms with his excesses, he suddenly pops the question: 

'Yes or No?'

Really? I'm I suppose to just give an answer, and put aside my concerns and fears? My friends think that I'm just being paranoid, my parents think that I'm just too naive. However, I am still not comfortable with the odds!

LET'S TALK..with E PLUS The Storyteller.

There is a song that constantly serves as a reminder with regards to decision making, and the song goes, thus:

Wherever you go..🎶

Wherever you be..🎶

Do not say yes..🎶

When you mean to say 'No'🎶

Quite often, women find themselves in relationships that they hardly can tell how it would turn out, owing to the initial sparks, frenzy, and excitements so what happens? They begin to get tired out, and restless when the 'Yes or No question'  pops up, just like the situation depicted in the story of Atinuke and Clara.  Relationship between two people should be 💯 percent consentual, and this means that the emotions, feelings, thoughts and perceptions of both parties must be considered. Where only one person matters, then the relationship would suffer constraints. Do not lose your 'voice'  because you are in a relationship. Be open-minded by discussing everything you feel should be addressed, settle issues amicably, do not bottle up your emotions in the name of being 'The good girl' even good girls have real feelings and concerns! Before you answer the 'Yes or No question' be sure that you are not under pressure.

Remember, ultimately, whatever your response is, you will have to live with the implication, so pause and ponder!

What are the fundamentals for you?

Weigh your options..

What are those excesses you can live with, and without.

Remember, building a substantial Relationship thrives on your willingness, and how far you want it to go. Don't set any relationship as a yardstick because everyone is disposed differently. Be deliberate about getting the attention each other's uninterrupted attention during conversations because you do not want to miss out any detail.

So, before you respond to the 'Yes or No question' search within. Thanks, for being a part of this episode of LET'S TALK with E PLUS The Storyteller.
