Unlocking the matters of the heart

I cheated with his friend and now he doesn’t want us to stop

������

YOUR EX’S NEW PARTNER

�ast month at a house party, I got drunk and cheated on my fiancé with a male friend. Problem is this friend I cheated with is a kiss-and-tell type who has

already told two friends about it, and as he has been pestering me for a repeat which I have objected to. Now he is threatening to tell my fiancé about it. I’m certain my fiancé will leave me if he learns that I cheated, especially with this guy he doesn’t really like, yet the guy says if I can repeat the cheating act with him just two more times he will not tell my fiancée about it. I don’t know whether to go ahead and give the guy two more occasions, or tell my fiancé and risk losing him.

Becky, Seeta

If I were you, I would grit my teeth, approach the friend I cheated with and ask him to drop his demands and threats. But by all means I would also make sure I don’t submit to his demands of a repeat of the cheating, no matter what, because if you repeat it just once then it

will become a routine.Sandra, Rubaga

Risk your relationship and confess to your boyfriend what happened. If he really loves you and has some brains and humanity in him, he will forgive you. After all you were drunk when you cheated. And then if he does, your relationship will pan out stronger because of the mutual trust and understanding this incident will have helped you build. But above all, watch the alcohol in the future.

Jonah, Ntinda

Just bite the bullet and say nothing to your boyfriend while also cutting off all communication with that other guy. If the guy says anything to your boyfriend, just deny and deny pakalast, since he isn’t the type who would listen and forgive you if you came clean.

Sarah, Entebbe

�ven when we move on, it can still be a bit discomforting when you run into an ex with

their new catch–new girlfriend or boyfriend or wife or husband. But

such meetings don’t have to be painful affairs. It’s all about know-ing how to pull it off.

The perfect introductionMake sure to introduce yourself first, so they follow your lead. Say your hello with a big smile and firm handshake, then relax your face to its natural, happy expression.

Confident conversationIf you have to strike conversation

with them, lead the conversation by asking questions, introducing twists to the topic under discus-sion. Be sure to maintain eye con-tact but divide eye contact equally between your partner and their ex so you don’t give away any anxiety.

Confident body languageLet your hands always drop to their natural position and avoid fidgety movements like fiddling with your hair, but when you re-alise that you’re fiddling make sure you make them appear natural.

No aggressionBy all means make sure you don’t come off as aggressive. Even if they say or do something between them which leaves you angry or dis-comfortable, make sure you keep cordial feelings between you and the couple till you part.

Quick farewellIf you really don’t have a reason to hang around your ex and their new catch, quickly say your farewells. Hanging around needlessly will only give the couple the impres-sion that you still can’t get yourself away from your ex.

Sweet goodbyeWhen it is time to say farewell, make sure you give the couple the sweetest goodbye you can pro-duce. It will give the couple the impression that you have no bitter feelings whatsoever, and that will paint you as a strong, good-natured person who moved on and holds no grudges.

�hen it comes to exercis-ing for health, walking

doesn’t get the respect it de-serves. Many people in Uganda are walking as little as possible, with many even driving over very short distances to dodge walking.As early as , years ago Greek philosopher Hippocrates quipped that “walking is a man’s best medicine.” And it is a quip that holds true, as numerous research findings indicate that from regular walk-ing accrues health benefits.

Walking a big differenceIn journals the University Col-lege London published between and , it found that there was a smaller incidence of cardiovascular events (angina, heart attack, heart failure, angio-

plasty, coronary artery bypass surgery and stroke) among people who regularly walked as a form of physical exercise versus those who didn’t. The total number of people who were covered by the study was ,, all tracked over a period of years.Another study that covered , male graduates of Har-vard College found that walking at least nine miles a week was linked to a % lower death rate. Yet another study in the US found that walking at least minutes a day was linked to an % lower risk of coronary artery disease.

How exactly walking worksLike other forms of regular moderate exercise, walking greatly reduces chances of suf-fering peripheral artery disease, heart stroke and the like. It does this by boosting circula-tion and increasing oxygen supply to every cell in your body, lowering levels of bad cholesterol while increasing lev-els of good cholesterol, burning

extra calories, among other things which act as service for the body and make your heart function better.Walking is also one of the moderate exercise programs that have been proven to help protect against dementia, obe-sity, diabetes, depression, colon cancer, and even erectile dys-function. Walking protects you against dementia and stress, by helping you to avoid brain shrinkage, provide a soothing moment for your brain to relax away from stressing ideas and preserve memory.For those who are obese and are looking to lose weight, specialists recommend running as the best alternative, but also suggest starting with walk-ing before

progressing to running.

Exercise guidelinesThe World Health Organization stipulates minutes on five days each week as the standard amount of walking an able-bod-ied person must do for proper health benefits.Before getting to the serious part of the walk, it is advised that you start with three shorter -minute walks until you feel the body has heated up prop-erly to go for the longer haul.Make sure that you wear com-fortable and efficiently protec-tive footwear, and socialising with people as you walk past them could also come handy for you mind-wise.On the road, make sure that you are not slouching when striding forward, rather stand-ing up straight and trying not to lean too far forward or back-ward with your chin parallel to the ground.Take an approach that you find comfortable and enjoyable, be it the setting, walking with someone or doing it alone because you appreciate the solitude.

...

Don’t run away, no matter how much you may want to.

������� �����And then came Karyn White, with her medleys, leaving a lasting impression at the eight edition of Nile Gold Jazz Safari. The band was awesome and on point and so for her vocalists who were so smooth.

Kampala Serena Hotel could not hold back. She sang, danced and connected well with her audience. Revelers warmed up to the old skool American singer for her good performance, of sul-try funk and rhythm and blues. She was inviting. Two Ugandan dudes did not shy from an opportunity to make the international star feel some cozy intimacy as they joined her hug, and extend-ed it into a tight squeeze. They invited her to sit on their laps and as they did all this, she got a little carried away in the moment.

Learning hard lessons on spacing the kids

Thursday, April -, MATOOKE REPUBLIC 17

PARENT TO PARENT

"� girl and a boy, one year apart! Good job, mama!” as if I had won some contest I didn’t

know I had entered. It is a tidy little age difference, and it’s wonderful…except when it’s not. I am one among many mothers who have at one time failed at this child spacing thing. Maybe I was naïve but I have since learnt from my experience.

I had my first son on January , and my sec-ond born daughter on February , .Was it exciting to have two bunnies messing up the house at the same time? Hmm, more like double trouble. I am sure it could have been more exciting to bond with one child at a time. Every child is special and needs a parent’s attention. Without child spacing they are denied their chance at having quality time with their parents.

I have listened to theories of “you can’t get pregnant when you are breastfeeding, it is better to have kids at once (one after another) so that you then concentrate on raising them” and so on. But as someone who has fallen victim to such in so many ways I would say I rather encourage every mother to give it time.

One of the most important pros of child spacing is that the mum will have more energy and be less “stressed out”. Child-bearing and motherhood can be tough, you know. Research also tells us children who are adequately spaced are better prepared to begin kindergarten, and perform better in school.

Gynaecologists usually advise three months as the timeframe you should take before getting into baby-making business, but of course how long it will take to have your next child is entirely up to you but. I hon-estly believe that you need to make sure of first is that you’ve healed physically and emotionally before you can embark on baby number next. It does not matter whether it was normal birth or ceasarean birth; the ef-fects are not so far apart. I guess I took the lesson head on because my current last born is so many years apart from my first two. For now I will just enjoy mother-hood and count my blessings one after the other, one day at a time.

�nfortunate things happen. Life can be tough sometimes. Families face

challenges which affect the children as well. We could lose jobs, valuable family property to banks or to natural calami-ties; we could lose our partners who happen to be the other parent. Moments of loss in life are very challenging. When these terrible things happen, our children are affected emotionally and physically. For many children and adults as well, grief is a new emotion to deal with.

The feelings of sadness, anger and frustration that come with sad news take time to process. A child who isn’t used to feeling sad or angry might need extra time to process and work through these emotions. No matter how ready you might be to move on into a new lifestyle and home following a divorce or death, don’t rush your child. Children need more

time and more assistance in expressing their emotions.

While focusing on your child’s grief, make sure she/he fully understands that it is okay to feel the ways they are feeling. Anger is just as normal as sadness. Help them express, work off and cry about these various emotions.

Allow your child to go through the process and watch them closely for any assistance. If you are blessed with good relatives, take them for a visit to their favourite uncle or auntie. Take your child for play dates.

If your child is the type that will take long to cope, visit a children’s therapist because they are experienced in helping children with tough problems and emo-tions. They are also a handy third-person to help your child if they’ve been working hard to not upset you or others in your

family with their own emotions. Indeed, it is the quiet child who seems to have adjusted immediately who might actually need help most in letting go of grief and other emotions.

Depending on what age your child is choose the language to use when break-ing the bad news of a loss. Be as truthful as possible and use as many facts as you can leaving no space for imagination. Allow your child to ask all the questions they can and answer them all genuinely. If the family is going to have a setback in finances, please clearly explain why these changes are going to happen. Don’t forget to give hope to them after all the explana-tion is done. Be their best friend in all hard times and with guidance and love from you, your children will be strong enough to walk the journey of loss today and in future.
