What this man wants his woman to change

Image
A woman is devastated after her husband of six year admitted there was one part of her body he really doesn't  like. He is now asking her to have surgery to change it, leaving her feeling insecure and upset. She's  tried to tell him she's  happy the way she is and doesn't  want to alter her body, but he keeps bringing it up. The anonymous woman writes: "We've  been married for 6 years. I have smallish breasts which I am OK  with but my husband is often suggesting I have a boob enlargement. "I don't  want to go through all that pain, I have always been this size and was like this when we met and it never seemed to bother him then. "Am I right to be upset? I have tried saying I am happy the way I am and that he was happy enough when we met. Why is it now an issue? I don't  want to feel insecure but I am starting too." Posting on social media, she also says he wants to get a hair transplant as he is going bald and says he wi

Facebook's new crypto-currency

Image
Facebook has announced a digital currency called Libra that will allow its billions of users to make financial transactions across the globe, in a move that could potentially shake up the world’s banking system. Libra is being touted as a means to connect people who do not have access to traditional banking platforms. With close to 2.4 billion people using Facebook each month, Libra could be a financial game changer, but will face close scrutiny as Facebook continues to reel from a series of privacy scandals. Libra could be a welcome lift to Facebook’s profits: analysts are suggesting Libra could be a huge moneymaker for Facebook, arriving as its growth slows. US lawmakers were quick to raise privacy concerns about the new currency. Shortly after Facebook’s announcement, the congresswoman and chair of the House Financial Services Committee, Maxine Waters, called on the companyto put a stop to the project until Congress and regulators could review it. She also called

Puzzle of two girls separated at birth

Relatives of the three girls separated at birth now say they will make choices that would not tear them apart, as they seek closure to a saga that has caused them sleepless nights. But they still have to live with the reality printed in black and white on a DNA test result document, which showed that two girls were twins and their third “sibling” not a blood relative. The search for truth has come at a cost. For starters, the three girls, who are in Form Four, will not sit their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations this year. Cognizant of how negatively the events of the past few months have disrupted their studies, the girls will report to their respective schools this week but return to Form Three. The girls will continue living in the homes where they were brought up in Kitale and Kangemi, but they will be free to visit their biological mothers any time. The family members also ditched plans to sue Kakamega County Teaching and Referral Hospital, where

There is a natural order that follows marriage.  What we know is that it is the man that is supposed to woo, engage and marry the woman. Not the other way round. But the fact is, it is not every part of the world that follows this order.  These parts, practice something known as Polyandry. Polyandry is when a woman chooses to marry as many husbands she pleases, without being questioned.  3 known countries that practice this act are: India In Kinnaur, Himachal a minority of the people justify and practice Polyandry. These people claim to be the descendants of the Pachi Pandavas, 5 brothers who were husbands to a woman named Draupadi daughter of King Panchala. So, being descendants they also must carry on this tradition. Polyandry is also practiced in South India amongst the Toda tribe of Nilgiris, Nanjanad Vellala of Travancore and some Nair caste systems. It is prevalent in parts of North India by Paharis in the Jaunsarbawar region. Tibet, China Tibet a lar

Pope Francis signs Jerusalem declaration

Pope Francis on Saturday joined Morocco's King Mohammed VI in saying Jerusalem should be a "symbol of peaceful coexistence" for Christians, Jews and Muslims, on the first day of a visit to the North African country. The spiritual leader of the world's 1.3 billion Catholics was invited by King Mohammed VI for the sake of "interreligious dialogue", according to Moroccan authorities. In a joint statement, the two leaders said Jerusalem was "common patrimony of humanity and especially the followers of the three monotheistic religions." "The specific multi-religious character, the spiritual dimension and the particular cultural identity of Jerusalem... must be protected and promoted," they said in the declaration released by the Vatican as the pontiff visited Rabat. The Moroccan king chairs a committee created by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation to safeguard and restore Jerusalem's religious, cultural and

Woman who married herself renews wedding vows

A woman who married herself four years ago has renewed her sologamy vows and celebrated by leading a wedding flash mob. Sophie Tanner made the decision to marry herself in May 2015 in a ceremony that included her dad walking her down the aisle, bridesmaids and a first dance - after writing a book where a character does the same. At the weekend, Sophie renewed the promises she made to herself and paraded through the streets of Brighton where her flash mob performed a synchronised dance to The Greatest Showman’s This Is Me! For her vow renewal, she said she chose a slinky white dress and held daffodils. Her friend, dressed in robes, acted as her priest and reaffirmed her vows for her as she promised to continue taking care of herself. Sophie placed an eternity ring on her own finger, shaped as an eagle to represent honesty. Sologamy is growing in popularity, with supporters of the idea seeing it as a way to commit to loving and caring about yourself and not relying on an
