There are numerous varieties of relationships. You’ve been in one or many relationships if you are in Nairobi.

Nairobi tunashare, si wako ni wetu are very popular slang in Kanairo.

Either way, you must have witnessed one of these types of relationships in your lifetime; family relationships, normal friendships, acquaintanceships, and romantic partnerships which are very common these days.

10 things I learned from my previous relationships

  1. Never, ever ignore the warning signs or red flags.
  2. Don’t doubt yourself if you sense anything is off.
  3. People won’t change for the better because of you.
  4. When you discover someone is dishonest, break off all communication.
  5. If they say they’ll change and haven’t changed; don’t give them another chance.
  6. Don’t question your worth; if somebody wants to be with you, they’ll be with you.
  7. Love is sweet, love is kind, it shouldn’t hurt, ever.
  8. Avoid envious, controlling and negative people.
  9. It’s acceptable to be alone until you discover the ideal person for yourself.
  10. Pay attention to what he/she does not what they say.

To help you understand what quagmire you are captured or trapped in, here are a few explanations of the different types of relationships.

Relationships are everywhere; infatuation is pure passion, nothing more nothing less.

Friendship is generally just some closeness with a few benefits here and there.

Commitment without an end goal can be called empty love; especially in long-distance relationships na hizi za huku kanairo sana sana.

Intimacy and passion define romantic love, many of you in the cities mko hapa, ikienda sana 2 years.

Fatuous romance involves some bits of commitment and a little desire, watu wa wababas and wamamas fall here.

Companionship involves heavy commitment and periodic intimacy, for the married ones, this is your poison.

Then we have that love that is consummated by passion, closeness, and dedication, what many of you long for in vain in your peak years; this comes in old-age.

I think true love does not exist; it’s just a situation that is keeping many couples together.

Listen to your favorite radio shows, or just look at your neighbors, what’s keeping them together are kids. Many have confessed that their love died a slow death years ago.

If situations were to change for either partner, many would see dust.
