Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
The true definition of a bitch is when I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined as a bitch.
It took two relationships and all of my 20s but I've learned to stand on my own two feet.
My first marriage was a nine-year exercise in co-dependence. Believe me, I don't say that lightly.

Three reasons being the last of your friends to march down the aisle might not be such a bad thing.

Author Michelle Cove helps single women get real about happily ever after.
Ask most girls under age 10 what "happily ever after" looks like and they'll talk to you about meeting a man (probably a prince) and kissing him at the royal wedding. Ask a grown woman what "happily ever after" looks like and she'll probably tell you the same thing.

I know this is true because it happened to me repeatedly while I interviewed women around the country for my book and documentary, Seeking Happily Ever After. No one ever told us that we could redefine happily-ever-after for ourselves—and that doing so might make us, well, happier. So here for you is permission to do it, and four ways to go about it.
