Women are bizarre creatures.
We seem to crave what we can’t have, want more when we have it, create problems with what we have and play games with people close to us.
I am in a wonderful long-term, long-distance relationship and have just spent the last 5 days in Bristol with him.
Monday morning, I’m heading back to Sheffield and moping that I won’t see him until… umm… well, Friday.
Quite pathetic really isn’t it?
Rather then appreciate what many of us have, its all too easy to focus on the negatives.
We’ve just spent a romantic weekend punting in Oxford and yet here I am pining for more time.
Are women really so dramatic, unpredictable and hard to satisfy?
My friend Charlie has been with her boyfriend for just over a year now.
He’s off working as an apprentice in Portsmouth whilst she’s at university in Brighton.
Even though she loves him deeply, she’s off secretly getting with a couple of guys at uni.
She calls me up saying how much she misses him, yet still she craves the attention of other guys.
Another friend Jessi is crazy for our mutual friend Jon and won’t stop talking about him.
We know, and she knows, that Jon fancies her, yet rather than accept his requests to go out on a date, she enjoys making him jealous by flirting and dancing with other guys in front of him.
Why do women play these games?
They can’t always get away with it.
One day Charlie’s boyfriend will find out and one day Jon will get fed up of the chase.
Equally, why should I be so hard to satisfy?
After a romantic 5 days should I really be whining about a whole 4 days apart?!
Yes, women tend to relish in the drama, but unless we learn to tone down our histrionics, the play will turn into a tragedy.
