When you are twenty something as a lady, there is a lot of pressure that keeps building and it gets worse when you approaching your late 20's and you are still not in any steady relationship – or worse single.

I have a great relationship with my mum and you just need to listen to the kind of advice she gives me – especially when it comes to relationships. She is one of the most realistic persons I have ever met in my life. She is more of a friend than a mum. Trust me, I don’t agree with her on many advice she gives, I am almost a complete opposite on her philosophies about life – especially relationships.
Truth be told, maybe what had kept me as a good and strong lady all this while is because she hits the nail right on the head and doesn’t try to sound sweet and paint life as a bed of roses to me. Okay, enough talking now, I am sure you are really eager to know the relationship advice she told me.
