Relationships take a lot of work, this we know. And even if you have everything in order when it comes to you two, there is always someone who has the ability to sabotage a good thing. Guard and protect your relationship from the following women.
The I’ll Take Your Man-Woman
This woman could be a stranger or someone you know personally. She could be the chick that deals exclusively in unavailable men, your man’s co-worker who’s convinced herself, or has been led to believe, you don’t love your husband, or the broad who could care less about the sanctity of your union. So what does she have to do with you? While your partner has free will and will ultimately do what he wants, you can put forth the emotional, psychological and physical effort to make sure he’s getting all of what he needs and most of what he wants at home.
The Stepford Wife
This is a girlfriend or family member who seems to have all her stuff together. She’s a devoted wife, a dedicated mother, a delightful daughter etc. She, like you, wears many hats. Fulfilling her various roles with a smile, perfectly precise hair and stilettos. This woman has no desire to steal your beloved from you. But if you keep looking at her “perfection” and comparing yourself to her, your relationship will suffer. You can’t be her because you aren’t her and will never be. Stressing yourself, trying to imitate her seemingly perfect life is a fruitless task that will require so much energy you’ll neglect your relationship.
Moms
Thank God for Mama. Most of the time she’s just trying to save you from heartache of some sort but in the process she certainly knows how to bring the drama. Whether it’s your boo’s mommy or your own, don’t underestimate her. She’s liable to use guilt trips, idle threats and petty jabs to intentionally or unintentionally present a huge obstacle.
The Girlfriends
If you’re involved with someone who has a whole heap of female friends they can represent a potential problem when it comes to your romantic situation. Whether one of the friends was an ex who still carries a flame for your boo, or his estrogen crew is extremely protective if the girls don’t like you, you might have to put in some serious work. And let’s not even get on your girlfriends. Whether they’re happy for you or not their input, requested or unsolicited, has the power to turn a good situation bad with a quickness.
The Baby Mama
The baby mama is 10 times worse than any regular ex because she has to maintain some type of contact with your honey bump for the rest of her life. If she’s something like a pill it can be a daunting realization but if he didn’t want anything to do with the mother of his children that would be equally suspect. The only way she can ruin your relationship is if your man is not over her or if you devote your time to worrying what she’s doing and not focusing your energy into maintaining your relationship.
