How Oyo missed marrying Rwandan princess in 2024

Much as Oyo’s relative appreciated the beauty of the Rwandan princess, she stopped him from marrying her as his official wife. She told Oyo to find a Mutoro, who would perhaps produce a future king of Toro. Oyo was disheartened when his choice of Rwandan princess was discarded. The Rwandan princess was equally disappointed, to the extent of rejecting Oyo’s consolation offer to have her as his second wife, in case he married a Mutoro as the official wife. Despite the upset, the Rwandan princess remained one of Oyo’s best friends. No wonder, when she received the sad news of Oyo’s death, she locked herself inside a house in Nakawa Division and spent two days weeping.

Sharing a bed in the heat

One wants the windows wide open, while the other is worried about mosquitoes. And when the temperature rises further, even cuddling can suddenly feel like an unnecessary source of heat. In other words, there may be too much sunshine outside, but sometimes there is also too much heat in the bed. “Sometimes, something as simple as one partner wanting a duvet while the other prefers to sleep uncovered can create tension,” counselling psychologist Madinah Ismail says, noting that couples have different bodies and comfort preferences.

Stop vetting potential partners like you are hiring for a corporate board; you are choosing a partner for a long road trip. You need to experience the person before you declare them the best lover.
