Legally best friends

I know that my husband is my best friend or at least that's what we said to each other. We really don't have any other friends so we are our own best friends. I don't understand why you wouldn't if you married the guy you must at least like him! So why not be his best friend.

My hubby is my best friend so that's already taken care of.. LOL. But sometimes ya just have to talk about girly things to another girly, so I have a best friend for that too. He's never been one for hanging out with the guys so I'm extremely lucky. We actually enjoy each other's company. I'm not showing off or anything, it just kinda worked out that way... I like it too. :D LOL

Lol---- no! I want my best friend to be a girl- We talk girl talk- and things that my sig. other would only roll his eyes at- I don’t want to spend every minute with my sig. other- I love to spend time with my girlfriends also- It’s just life- I’d go crazy if he was my best friend- We don’t’ even have the same interests- I like to shop to relax- he likes to putter outside.

I think when you marry someone you are not just husbands and wives but also best friends.You comfort each other when one is feeling bad. You are there for your spouse if he or she needs help.You know wach other's dreams and frustrations.You know how to make each other happy.You know the right words to cheer your spouse up.You are with each other everyday.You know the likes and dislikes, the gross habits and the good side.That for me is more than bestfriendship.

Is there such a thing as legal best friend? *LOL* I don't think that exists. *LOL* I don't think a person needs to have his wife or for a woman to have her husband as his/her best friend. But of course, sooner or later they'll be more than best friends. Why? First, all friends regardless how close, would eventually have their own lives. You can never trust that she/he would forever be there to be with you ALL THE TIME. Yes, friends are for keeps, but there are some times when you can't have them with you because we all have our own priorities. Specially if we're married. Second, living together, you'd end up having more conversations with your husband and wife. You don't go out to go to your friends if you want to talk about the day-to-day activities. Yes, you do talk, but not as much as you talk to your spouse. Third, communication is fundamental to a marriage. If you can't stand talking to the person, why marry him/her in the first place? I'm not saying he/she should be the best friend. I'm saying he/she could eventually be the best friend. Because you're sharing your whole life with that someone. This is the main reason why divorce isn't a solution for me. Because, if you know that 'in case of trouble there is divorce' then you wouldn't be as patient and as understanding to your spouse anymore. You wouldn't be able to talk it out sooner or later because it's easier to go for divorce rather than talk it out. Yeah, sad but it's true. I have always wanted to marry my best friend. I want a husband who I could talk to more than anyone else. Yes people are afraid of this because you might lose your best friend. But I believe if you lost him, then maybe he's not your best friend after all. And I'm happy now because my partner is my best friend. I tell him everything and he tells me too. We gel well together. =) Good luck to all of you.

well, i think that there is a great need of a spouse to be a persons best friend...as you are sharing your life with a person, and if you dont have enough understanding, then whats the difference between a boyfriend/girlfriend and a spouse??

my husband and I have been good friend years before we realize we love e ach other more than friends, we became more closer during our engagement period and became best buddies when we got married..and I'm so thankful for that.I am so blessed to have him as my bestfriend and partner.

Although I consider my spouse one of my best friends he is not the only best friend I have. I do think that your spouse should be at least one of your best friends though. I mean your best friend knows everything about you, they are the person you go to when you're having just one of those days. For me that is him, even when he's the reason I'm having one of those days.

I think you need to be best friends but your spouce does not have to be your very best friend. If at the foundation of your relationship you have a rock solid friendship then it will help you get through pretty much anything a lot easier and with a lot less fighting. However you still need your very best girlfriend to talk about him with, lol. I mean you can't exactly tell your spouce "OMG, my moronic husband left his nasty a$$ socks on the floor again, I mean really does he honestly think it's a hamper?" He might not be 100% excited to hear that from you where as your girlfriend would just tell you about how her husband can't grasp the concept of putting down a toilet seat and then you can both agree that your husbands are "special". There are also certain things you don't want to hear from him, I'm sure if he comes home saying "wow, the waitress where I went for lunch today had the sweetest pair of...", you would not be excited. I dated someone who was and is still one of my best friends and he would literally say things like that to me. I had to sit him down and explain that while we were amazing friends and he could tell me anything he really didn't need to be stupid about it either. All in all though, you should be good friends at the very least.

I don't think one has to be his/her spouses best friend. You have each other for life, and being set to be together that long will have it's pressures also. And being too close will not give you the "outsiders" point of view. I myself have a part best friend in my husband, a part best friend in my cousin and a part best friend in my kids. So I have a lot of best friends to complete me, and to fulfill my needs that the other best friends cannot. The more best friends that you have, the merrier.

I don't think I would ever marry someone I considered my best friend. Think about it, if you get divorced, you lose both spouse AND best friend. That would leave a gaping hole in a person's life, whereas if they had a separate best friend, they'd have someone to lean on through the divorce.
