Women Who Know

It’s simple: you cannot maintain a relationship if you allow your friends to interfere, constantly. In one way or another, I’ve written about this already. Unless you want for your man to be “with” your friends, in no event should your friends know everything about your relationship.

There comes a time when you grow up and realize that part of being an adult is coping with your issues all by yourself. In truth, your friends can’t truly understand your dilemma because they only know what you tell them. So, they can’t help but be biased. Consider that.

At the end of the day, people make mistakes. Your boyfriend is not excluded. So, cut him some slack. When he messes up, your reaction shouldn’t always be to run to your friends to report. Instead, communicate with him and and try to work it out. If you always make your loved ones aware of his missteps, they won’t be able to appreciate his virtue. Don’t smear his image, unnecessarily. If you choose to, you’ll be stuck trying to convince your friends to accept him in the long run.

OK. That’s it. Just learn how to hush.
