When you marry a man who has been your friend for years, esp one who is a good listener, you naturally assume that you can dump on him all the time.
After you get married,the temptation is to focus on him
To the exclusion of your female friends.
Don't buy into the lie that your husband has become your all in all. You need female besties.
Women who are in all walks of life, single, married, biz owners and employees, mummies and waiting moms.
There are things you want to discuss
That only a fellow woman will understand or even appreciate. Yes, there are many men who are great listeners but if yours rolls his eyes occ because he doesn't get why it's so important that you found a human hair seller who gave you the 5% discount 😝
Don't get frustrated
A great way to make friends is to serve. Help someone hold her baby while she serves herself at the buffet. Pay someone a compliment. Reply someone's DM. Look into their eyes and smile. Make friends with the moms of your children's friends.
Leave a message or call. Send a gift
Offer a discount on a service or product you sell.
Pray for someone. Give advice. Refer someone.
Don't be isolated. Take someone to the cinema. Take a great picture of them.
Let go of those who don't accept your hand of friendship but I assure you a good no of women are looking
For friends as well.
As for the myth that females friendships are bad, nothing could be further from the truth.
That lie has caused so many women to have unrealistic expectations of their husbands and the man is tired.
Pour into many cups so others can pour into you as well.
