I think part of this, too, is that women tend to be more able to communicate, be empathetic, etc. I'm not meaning to be sexist, just repeating current research, etc.

 

I think that's very true. And many of those late-night conversations are with friends who'll be honest with us about our behavior in those relationships as well. We can learn from that.

 

Seriously, I don't know what I would do without my friends. I need them as much as I need my hubby, and when a few of them moved out of NYC in the past few years, I was just devastated. And still am. I'm just so lucky to have friends like you, and I often think about how much I would love it if I lived closer to you. I'm so looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
