Why is it so hard for a woman, to be friends with another woman?

You mentioned you a a bit of a tomboy, could that be why? I think woman on woman friendship is the strongest bond there is. I know of many marriages that have broken up because the husband feels that his wife is spending more time with her girlfriend than him. I had a friend and we were very close for many many years, there was never any back stabbing, we could talk and had a great relationship. She got involved with a guy, and that did not stop our friendship, but he kind of brought her down financially. She lost her house and we kind of lost touch. I did not hear from her for about two years, then one day my son said she called, I was so happy and called her back on the number he gave me. She was still in a bad financial situation and needed $300.00 as a deposit to move into a new apartment. I was so glad to hear from her, I immediately found out where she was and brought her the money. She said she would pay me back the next week. I have not heard from her since, that was 15 years ago. But I think that there can really be a strong solid friendship between two women. I do not have the same kind of relationship with my friends now that I had with that woman.
