Long lasting female friendships are hard to find these days. Why is it so difficult for women to remain friends for at least half of a life time? In my opinion, the most significant and common reason for a friendship failure is the absence of foundation. “We are friends because our boyfriends are friends” isn’t the most stable foundation for a friendship. You are more like temporary partners in crime with similar goals in mind. After giving the friendship dilemma some more thought and doing a little research, I came up with the following reasons.
Envy has destroyed many female friendships. Simply explained, you have something that she is lacking or missing. Whether it’s a designer purse you bought, a new man you met or a rewarding job you have, she is never happy for you. She always points out the negative in everything positive that happens to you.
1. Don’t overanalyze every word he says. Like for example: he tells you now – both of you are in your late 20′s or early 30′s – that if you were to gain a lot of weight in 30 years, he will leave you. Don’t let that mess up the next 30 years of your life.
2. Give him some space. Try to let him discover some things on his own. This way he won’t lose his mind if you are ever out of town.
3. Be independent. Pursue your own interests. Do something with your friends,or take up a hobby. Note: He can’t be your hobby.
4. Loose your needy and attention greedy attitude. As attention needy as men can be they still fear needy women. If you live his life, who is going to live yours?
5. Don’t look busy. Be busy. Ignoring his phone calls to teach him a lesson can be a real torture. Not being able to pick up the phone because you are in the middle of something very important is so much fun.
