Are you best friends?

[milly143]

Is your partner your best friend or do you consider it a seperate thing?

[redman41]

My Soulmate is my best Friend and always will be !

[4getmenot]

nope hes my boyfriend and i have a best mate ive known for years

[Booldawg]

Heres my life.......and here's my wife....

[milly143]

I don't think it's sad at all Planks. It's lovely.

[LoftyLottie]

No definitely not. I think spouses can be best friends but to be honest I don't know of many couples who are also best friends. I tell my best friend absolutely everything as she does me. I don't do that with my husband - I like some secrets. Besides that I think a best friend of the same sex can be far more understanding and empathetic.

Heres my life.......and here's my wife....here's guaranteed strife

[Mamyalynne]

My late hubby and I definitely were, we could spend all day every day together with no bother at all, small separations like short hospital stays were really awful for us both.

^^^^^hide the sharp knife.

[LoftyLottie]

Not sad at all planks. Mr LL was primarily my lover and the excitement in my life. I have to admit that is why I married him. We are definitely friends now though but not soul mates.

if my girlfriend were a chap I'm pretty sure they'd be my best mate, she has a lot in common personality wise with the closest of my mates but I'd definitely say she is my best friend. I've usually had a lot of good friends as opposed to one best so I'm not really replacing anyone.

[LoftyLottie]

I can't imagine life without him, but I can happily spend time away from him and often have done. Relationships are all different though.

[LoftyLottie]

I think I am in the minority here except for 4get.

[4getmenot]

agree loftie. I couldnt say some things i talk to my best mate about to my bloke.

[arwyn]

so many happy marrages on here it really lovely, you are lucky.

[LoftyLottie]

So do I 4get. And she about her hubby too. I couldn't be without her although she is many miles away now (overseas) :o(. She is back home at the moment though. She has actually been a rock to me - the one who totally understands me.

I love Mr LL, but it's just not the same.

[LoftyLottie]

Doesn't mean that you haven't got a happy marriage if you are not 'best friends' with your spouse though. Different relationships make different people happy.

[LoftyLottie]

We have been married for 39 years so something must be right!! ;o)
