In high school I had a group of three other girls I hung out with. One of them was helplessly in love with her boyfriend of 2 years when he decided to end things. She was devastated to say the least. We all hung out in the same group so she was forced to spend time with him after the break up (which must have been excruciating). I flirted with him! One night we were at the high school watching a movie on the football field and I let him kiss me. She was right there! She left with the other girls, but I stayed behind to cuddle with her ex-beau. After a few more of my shenanigans the girls finally decided they were through, enough was enough. At the time I was devastated! How could they hate me so badly? What had I done? Looking back now I'm not sure how I avoided getting a right hook to the face. I deserved much worse.
I'm in my 30's now and, although it's taken me entirely too long, I've finally learned my lesson. Girlfriends are an essential ingredient to any woman's well-being. My husband is a saint, and my kids are amazing, but there are things I need that only a girlfriend can provide. So - without further adieu - here are my top 5 reasons why girlfriends are an essential asset.
- PMS. They get it, they don't judge, and they always bring me a Coke, Snickers, and Midol.
- Sometimes you want to watch a mushy chick flick and not have to worry about someone seeing you cry.
- It's so great to be able to compare notes, and collectively decide if certain behaviors are "normal".
- It is essential to have someone tell you when you're being a bitch, but it's hurtful coming from a guy.
- True girlfriends don't care if you have the best clothes, latest hairstyle, or lots of money. They love you for you.
