"What was I doing while my husband was losing affection for me?"The 36 Questions come from a 1997 psychology study by Arthur Aron and his colleagues, titled “The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness”. The researchers wanted to see if intimacy between two strangers could be accelerated by having them ask and answer increasingly personal questions. Jidenna and Nneoma are two people who fell hard and fast in love, but falling in love doesn't always mean staying in love. Join these two as they navigate the waters of a troubled marriage and try to fix the cracks that have formed over years of silence. PS; Hey Storylovers! I'm back. Did you miss me? Cos I missed you.

"... Society has rules for everything, but there's no rule for how to be friends with your friends, especially when he has a wife." People assume life moves in straight lines, but feelings? They don’t follow a script. They linger, they blur the edges, and they turn what should be simple into something you can’t quite name. And sometimes, what you don’t say is louder than anything you could.This is the final installment in the Apartment 4D Saga, and I hope that you have enjoyed the ride. I urge you not to judge these characters too harshly. It could never be you, until it is you.

What do you do when you find out that your husband is in love with another woman? What do you do when you realize that you're in a losing war with the ghost of his past? This story is told from Ranyi's perspective, and here we can see that Apartment 4D is for some, the birth place of eternal love, and for others, it is a place of constant heartbreak.Don't forget to share this episode with your friends and family, follow us on Instagram for updates and exclusive sneak peaks.

Dear You,You might no longer be in my life but if you ever hear this, I want to say that I am sorry, for spending all that time trying to make you into something you weren't. I had this idea of what we were supposed to be and so I cast you in a role and tried to force-feed you the lines which only led to disappointment and hurt for me. I'm sorry if I wasn't fair to you. For what it's worth, you were a great friend to me for a while and I was really sad to lose you, even though it was for the best. I'll always miss you, and I'll continue to root for you, just like I promised all those years ago.Love.

Love isn't always what we think it's going to be, this storyteller is witness to the fact. Sometimes, the person we believe is our soulmate, the one we desperately hope would be the one ends up just being another one, and sometimes, even the one gets away.What do you do then, when the love you held so close to you vanishes into a memory? What do you do when your body has moved on but your heart remains stuck in a place, a tiny windowless room in a rundown apartment with more roaches than Wi-fi signals, and the haunting echoes of their laugh? This Storyteller would like to know your thoughts.Don't forget to share this episode with your friends and family, and maybe with that one.This beautiful story was brought to life by my dear friend TCode, I'm grateful for you.

There are so many different kinds of obsessions that we as humans exhibit. Our obsession with designer brands and the celebrities that adorn them, foods and places that we cannot afford, and our obsession with emotionally unavailable people. This Storyteller is of the opinion that Love is also an obsession, perhaps… the maddest obsession. The maddest obsession is a story of love, well, the darker parts of, and how quickly things can take a turn for the tragic.
