Most women think once they have that amazing relationship, the world is perfect. However, having a man in your life is not the holy grail.
You will need a few more people that are not him during the course of the relationship and throughout your life.
They are:
Every woman needs an older lady in her life. It could be your mother, aunt, grandmother or simply an older friend. She’s been at the point you currently are in your life, and she’s wiser and more experienced. Look to her for advice.
The straight shooter friendYou need a friend who calls it as she sees it and delivers the truth in the most brutal way. When you take out the barbs, you know she cares about you enough to be honest.
The mentorMentors are underrated. Blame motivational speakers who love to throw the word around. But a mentor is quite necessary. She will guide you and help you follow through on your ambitions.
Sometimes, you just want to vent without being judged or corrected. A listening friend can make your life much easier when you’re going through a tough time.
The one who makes you laughWhen your spirit is down, you need folks who can lift you up with their sense of humour. Doesn’t have to be a comedian. A friend that can make you laugh is priceless.
You do need a friend who gets you and accepts with you and all of your drama. This friend will never try to change you. She understands you and totally loves you the way you are.
She will tell you things your own mother might not be able to say without offending you and you can share with her things your mother didn’t even know you knew.
