The older you get, the more you realise that you can only have a handful of real friends and the rest are all acquaintenances. Girl, you hit the nail on the head with this article.

I have a friend who is Ms Happily Ever After. She was ok before she was married and maybe before she had kids but now every conversation has to revolve around marriage and her family. She's like an annoying aunt asking all those uncomfortable questions she shouldn't ask. I'm just trying to avoid her phone calls! Funny article again … I have a friend who is Ms Happily Ever After.

The 'competitor' version in particular rings a bell. One relative is exactly that. According to her, her hardships are always more challenging, her achievements always better, her dramas more dramatic, her stories funnier. As a result, her favourite - often only - topic of conversation is herself. But that's family for you, I guess. And don't even get me started on in-laws!

I think the positive we can take in all this is to look at ourselves honestly and question whether we have been this person to our friends at one time or another and whether we can become a better friend. Perhaps, I'll do a followup on the type of friends a woman should have. I’ve added a conclusion based on your comment.

We all have had friends like that. A refreshing look at female friendships but surely there could be a positive one in there somewhere. We all have had friends like that.
