The Other Women in your Man’s Life…

I’m every woman?

You may be THE woman in your man’s life, but never the only woman. As his girlfriend, you are sure to be number one. But if you want to retain the girlfriend-position in his life, make sure you know how to get on with the other women who matter.

  1. His mother. The woman who gave birth to him and raised him can exercise great influence over her son. If she disapproves of his girlfriend, you might be gone faster than you can say “Mama’s man.” On the other hand, if she’s on your side, she can help you turn the boy into a man with nagging that only mothers are capable of! A mother who believes that you are the right woman for her son is definitely preferable to one who thinks no woman could be good enough.
  2. His sister. The sister will want to make sure that her brother`s girlfriend is a good match, but you can speak to her woman to woman. Chances are, you’ll get on with her quite easily.She shares genes with the man of your dreams - what’s not to like? Once it’s established that you won’t threaten her position in his life, you’ll be bonding over stories about the man you both love.
  3. His ex-girlfriend. Women often feel threatened by an ex-girlfriend who still plays a part in their man’s life. The threat is usually imagined and it makes more sense to see the positive side. Maintaining a friendship with an ex-girlfriend means he is not bitter about the breakup and has dealt with the relationship, so there is no emotional baggage. Your man will be glad that you aren’t jealous and maybe you can learn a thing or two from the woman who used to be his girlfriend.
  4. His friend. You had better get on with the woman who has been his friend for years without ever being his girlfriend. She knows more about him than any other woman and she can use this knowledge. You really want her to be on your side!
