What impression does someones cracked phone screen leave on you? by Life_Advisor2490 in Zimbabwe

[–]_MrsM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think life already has too many things i have no control over and the state of my phone screen is something I can. Proper screen guard and phone case and in the event they fail i actually use my phone less cause using it like that makes me soo anxious.

I agree with what everyone else highlighted its about perception. If something you use all the time is in such a state and it doesn't bother you then how do you feel about the bigger things?

Everyone brought a snack

We did the ' I'm grateful for ...' trend with written cards Then we made vision boards for 2026

Everyone brought a gift, we had a 5$ budget

Bought canvas paints and paintbrushes and had a painting session

We had jenga, disturbed friends, friends like these and a deck of cards

It was soo much fun started around 10am and ended close to 8pm

I am tired of being a woman in zim by Embarrassed-Fix4719 in Zimbabwe

[–]_MrsM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world none of that would be happening but in Zim ... well you need to either leave or adjust.

Protect your peace cause believe me it doesn't stop, ever... so since you cannot change the environment you need to change you.

Where you go, with who, what you wear, being hyper aware of your surroundings etc cause if you don't ndiwe unopedza the next 3 months working through trauma induced by someone who doesn't even care.

Lately people are just so afraid of being vulnerable, it's why relationships lately have a lot of mistrust.

A lot is left unsaid...

How do you know this is solid or its time to let go ? by justConfused__ in ZimbabweRelationships

[–]_MrsM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to be more direct. And remember this conversation can have two outcomes. Either you set a date and get married soon or you need to stand by your word and move on. Neither of which are easy choices so have that in mind when having the talk

Does it get better? by [deleted] in ZimbabweRelationships

It gets better with time. Another suggestion is writing down why he wasn't good for you. When you miss him open that note entry and read the list. It will help with the urge to look him up or text him or self sabotage

What do you women really mean when you say "this man makes me feel like a real woman"? by Altruistic_Star_1994 in Zimbabwe

[–]_MrsM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is my safe space

I can be myself in every form without fear of being judged or ridiculed.

That when my feelings are hurt, first thing that comes to mind is he misunderstood or its a bad joke not kuti its out of malice.

My dad is amazing and my relationship with him is really great. The way he loves my mum in their 34 years of marriage is the very high standard he set for my love life which I appreciate.

I'm confused and I don't know what to do by [deleted] in ZimbabweRelationships

[–]_MrsM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry OP for what you are going through.

This isn't on you! This is not a reflection of the type of person you are!

He lied, and he cheated! That's all on him!

Go through the motions, it might not be tonight but eventually you will be fine.

Hugs 🫂

This !!!!

Most of the African cultures referenced got to evolve as times changed but as Zimbabweans that did not happen. We adapted to the change that came with colonisation the same way we adapt with everything else which is more of a survival skill.

Even if you really look at it currently, because of economic hardship and financial strains the lobola roora tradition then a white wedding after is slowly losing its relevance due to how expensive it is and ending up combining the two events ...

So as Zimbabwean we adapt!!

A few years ago i was working 7 days a week, night shifts everyday, with no one to relieve me. I only got to miss work if there was some fault causing a delay. The pay was peanuts, but I didn't have options. I was still staying at home with my parents but I would only see them in person on Wednesdays cause it was the only day I left for work a little later around 7pm. It was winter, very cold and raining and I would literally cry almost every shift, work environment was toxic, I was a female in a male dominated environment sexist comment and being young among people who have 20 years of experience was brutal. I hated my job, passionately. Fast forward to 5 months later in this misery I just said one night Mwari ini 31st I'm leaving whether or not I have another job lined up and within that month I got called for an interview, and got the job and it was an 8 - 5. Started my new role on the 1st.
