Who is more important: the best friend or the one you love deeply?

What happens if your best friend is the same person that you love deeply? This is true in my case because my boyfriend truly is my best friend and I can tell him absolutely anything and not be uncomfortable. He's always the first one I want to talk to in the morning and the last one I want to talk to at night. I have other close friends that I enjoy spending time with, but nothing can compare to the time I'm able to spend with my boyfriend. We completely understand each other and we have such a good time being together. Plus, our friendship also has love involved, which intensifies the whole relationship even more. In life, friends and your love are both very important. You shouldn't have to give up either of them in order to have the other. It's perfectly realistic to be able to balance out your friendships and relationship without having to compromise either one.

hi if you do believe in this Chinese saying that says girl friend are clothes and best friend part of your body dont you think both are important in your life ???? you cant live in the absence of other stuff.so there again your second sentence proves your quote wrong .. you just cant change your partner for friend or friends for your partner . instead if you are lucky enough you would have got a perfect partner who would understand the importance of friends in your life and vice versa .. so all that you need to do in such a situation is that you just have to go and explain matters to such people in your life and then your track is clear and hence the message passed is reached perfectly . sometime one turns out to be so lucky that the partner understand the importance of ones friends in life even before they have to explain it out to them . i am lucky enough to have a guy in my life who understands my role as a friend and doesn't put such idiotic and stupid situations for me to tackle .....

I think there's no comparison as the love is at different level. You love your friend with friend's love and you love a person deeply because of love. You don't have to choose because doing so may lead you to lose both. You don't need to give up one, as giving up one may lead to losing them both. So don't compare and love them both at different level, heights, and depth.

hello, Thats true but you know when the time comes that you fall inlove as in deeply you will feel that you will no longer need your best friend because you have your boyfriend. Well, it happened to me when I have found my boyfriend because i cant even give time to spend to my best friend but she understand it.

Part of the process of courtship and strengthening of relationship is the introduction of one's girlfriend to one's best friends. Hence, even before living together, you will already know if your friends are acceptable to your girlfriend, and vice-versa. Those she find unacceptable but whose friendship you value highly, try to facilitate that your girlfriend will get to know your best friends more and perhaps also learn to value such friendships. However, if this still has no effect on your girlfriend, you have to find out why and try to resolve the problem and keep both relationships strong and on an even keel, meaning, your relationship with your girlfriend and your relationship with your best friend. If this still does not persuade your girlfriend, and you value highly the friendship, then keep it, but ask your friend to maintain a low profile. Keeping the friendship at low profile should continue after marriage, until the girlfriend, now wife, learns to accept the friendship with your best friends.

That's a very difficult situation! But I guess you just need to balance things between your GF and your bestfriend. You don't have to choose or if it can't be avoided, try to explain to your bestfriend your situation. I am sure that he or she will understand you. It doesn't mean that you are dropping your bestfriend out of your life. You just have to expalin your bestfriend what is going on with you and your bestfriend.

I would never give up my best friend for a man. Both are important people to have in your life, but it is just as important to not forget the important people who were in your life before your relationship started. It seems as though when you first start to love someone, you forget all the other important people in your life. Lives change as we get older and being in a relationship is a normal part of life, but not all relationships last, including friendships. So it's important to keep in touch with your friends, even if you have a significant other in your life. Men or women can come and go into your life, but your real friends will be in your life forever.

If that is true then without cloth and feet its not possible to live both are equally important and that sacrificing both is devastating enough, friends are forever in life and they are the strong bond from childhood and cant be snapped, and on other hand without love of a girl too life is hard to move on.so i say i wont give up both, and that choosing is a difficult task if you ask me.

I will definitely break up with him. My best friend came into my life before he did. He saw how much i value the friendship. So why would he try to break my friendship with my friend? If he would say that, it would make me realize that he's not worth it after all. Because if he really loves me, he will never try to take anything or anybody that i value in my life. And a person who loves me would never ever make me choose between him or my friends or even my family. I consider my friends as my family.
