In Love? Ladies This Is For You

Have you ever known a woman who would ditch her friends for a man? For example: On Monday, she would make plans to go with you to an exhibit and by Friday, the plans were altered because the new guy she met on an internet dating site just happened to call. Being the friend that you are, you always seem to understand and say that it is no big deal.

Deep down inside, you’re starting to become resentful and you feel more than a bit neglected. Here’s a news flash for you; guys don’t break guy plans to spend time with you, so you might want to think twice before cancelling gal pal plans for a guy. In truth, if he cared for you at all he’d be the first one to insist that you keep your original plan.

Business has a policy of “first come, first served”. Well, I think relationships should be like that too. A strong relationship with a man is not going to wither and die because you spend time with friends now and again. In fact, it should strengthen your relationship because it shows your guy that you have a life outside of him. Your friends are just as important as your new sweetie; you’ve known them longer.

While you’re reading this you’re probably saying to yourself that a woman should never let a her friends come between her and her man. Well the flip side of that is true as well; a woman should never let her man come between her and her friends. It’s too bad that we all know someone who’s done that, and we may even be looking at her in the mirror. And when the friends are dropped, all that extra time is spent with the new guy.

This new guy becomes their whole life. Phone calls to friends become a thing of the past. Your chats are no longer needed as she thinks this new man is all she needs. Her work may suffer as well as other parts of her personal life. And you’re thinking “I would never let that happen to me”, but it’s often not a conscientious decision.

Remember, love should you complement you; make you a better person. It shouldn’t leave you brain dead and possibly friendless and jobless. Think of this; the people that you’re ignoring now in favor of your guy will be the same people that you will run to when the relationship sinks.

It’s likely that even if they haven’t said so your friends wanted to confront you about your attitude towards them. They were probably afraid of damaging your friendship further. They’re caring friends though because they’ll keep their mouth shut while you sob your heart out in the wake of your last breakup.

If your guy can’t understand that you have a life that may not include him, then you don’t need him. It’s that simple. Remember, you don’t have to lose your identity to be in love or to be involved in a relationship. A relationship should add to your life, not take away from it.
