I can count on one hand how many female friends I have. I've always been drawn to friendships with men because quite honestly its just 'less work'. Now that I'm away from a job outside of the home (my job now is M.O.M.) and away from my Running/Tri group I've lost touch with the majority of my male friend/acquaintences. So, the few female friends I have are typically cool - but there is one friend where I feel as if we've jumped on a rollercoaster ride with one another.
She is a wonderful friend and I truly cherish our friendship....but she can wear me out. She is HIGHLY sensitve and in my mind "little" things will completely stress her out. My husband always jokes around and says, "Ah O....is "xx" OVERWHELMED again".
So here is the latest deal; she feels like I'm not making our friendship a priority (which I haven't....she speaks to my children in a really crappy way and I've tried to talk to her about it but its not registering - and sometimes the friendship just takes more energy then I have). I'm not ready to ditch the friendship and will once again have to have "the friggin' talk but for cry'n out loud.....please tell me that there are other girls out there that would like their female friendships to exist without the damn drama!
