Friends: Supportive or Unsupportive

I recently got out of a relationship with my child’s father. I love him very much, however it just seemed like he and I could never just find our rhythm. I would talk to my friends, associates, fellow female counterparts-seeking advice and support. Thinking that these ladies would have a new perspective for me to see. What was I missing?? 

I love my friends and my family. They have supported me in ways that no one could have imagined, however I never had someone tell me to get back in there and fight it out when I was ready to walk away. That small little push a woman might need from that friend that says, Girl, you are just mad right now. You love him. You aren’t going any where. You get back in there and fight for your relationship. 

What happened to that? 

I think we as women are secretly bitter. We are either single and miserable or in a relationship and miserable, so we won’t tell that friend that she needs to stick it out and make it work. We won’t tell that friend that she is acting like a bitch and she is just being emotional.

Ladies let’s think next time our friends come to us. Are we speaking from a place of truth or a place of hurt?
