Do You Need A Man?

Recently I had the privilege of attending a Hen Party. Remember I asked to be invited to one if anyone knew of a group that would accept me. Well my prayers have been answered.

We had a awesome time and there was a good representation of young, middle, and senior women. We even had a toddler running around just like I did in my grandmothers group. It was the best gathering of women I have attended in a very long while. Not judgemental just heartfelt talk, not gossip, real issues we personally are going through.

A big topic was some women wanted men and a couple made the bold statement they did not want or need a man at this point in their lives. I think when we here women make announcements like this most of us think, they have probably been hurt or they tend to want to have relationships with other women. Either way we think something is wrong. As the conversation went on these women made it very clear they just did not want another human dictating in any way, shape or form what they did with their time, money, or anything else. When they got ready to do something they had no one to answer to but themselves. After listening I kinda envied them for a moment.

After my envious thought was gone. I realized how judgemental I had been in the pass when hearing this phrase uttered. I want do that anymore. The next thing is I learnt more about myself by listening to others. I like having a man to answer to when it comes to spending, traveling, budgeting, and just all together living with. I like having him to vent my frustrations of the day, month, year, life with. I am a woman who needs a man. Which are you?

  1. I have friends who often make the statement I don't need a man. Then,I am asked how could I get married twice. I like the idea of marriage as you stated to share good and bad times.I went into my second marriage with bigger eyes and I pray this one continues 16 years a counting. I would rather say I need my best friend who is my husband and a man.
