Of Course, powerful women can’t just enjoy being powerful. Nope. We have these little nagging traits and concerns getting in the way that powerful men just don’t seem to face like still wanting to be maternal and feeling guilty that we took that power from somebody else and hoping we don’t accidentally neglect our family, friends, and romantic relationships. AAAH! It’s so unfair. But it’s also what makes women wonderful, and why there should be more of them in power. We can be pretty damn well-rounded. Being that way takes a lot of emotional and mental energy on our part, but when we pull it off, everyone around us wins. That being said, being a powerful woman and carrying out a relationship with a, well, less-powerful man (at least in the eyes of others) can be challenging. Here are relationship issues that only powerful women understand.

His friends can think you’re an absent partner

Most of his friends’ girlfriends and wives can always attend double date night, or the super bowl Sunday party, or the booze cruise everyone wants to go on. You manage to attend some of these events, but you’re noticeably absent a lot and you know your partners’ friends pity him. They don’t know how much work you already put into creating one-on-one time with your man. But you just don’t have extra time to spare for booze cruises with people you’re not that close to.
