I always rolled my eyes when people said they married their best friend or their spouse is their best friend. Cue the gag motion and much judgemental sniggering. I didn’t get it. Didn’t they KNOW any other people? Have other friends? Really? How sad for them. Honestly I thought that half of those people were lying. The other half? Well I assumed they were a bit loopy and needed to get a life. Lame!
But it turns out, I married my best friend and it took me 8 years of marriage to realise it. Maybe he wasn’t my best friend then? I guess he sort of was but I was probably in denial. But there is no one I love more, want to dance all night with, see a movie with, go out to dinner and chat the night away with. It’s him. It’s pretty much always him. I do enjoy ditching him sometimes though. Maybe I need to get out more or something but it’s true. Hubby has become my best friend.
After all when it comes to besties, why wouldn’t I chose this guy? He does a mean load of washing, takes care of me like no ones business, loves pizza, belly laughs and fresh bread. We split a six-pack without a problem and he always laughs at completely different parts of the movie then I laugh at him laughing. He’s the one I want to tell good news to, the one who buffers the bad news and bad days. We enjoy the time we spend together. Sometimes a little too much. If that’s not the definition of best friends, I’m not sure what is.
So there you go. I confess. It happened to me. I’m one of thoooooooose people. Are you?
Who’s your best friend? Is it your partner?
Hi! I’m Suger and I’m the Chief Blogger here. I make stuff for the internet. Which means I take photos, build websites, write copy and create social media plans for people. This is my blog where I share my life and the things that interest me. It’s been living its best life on the interwebs since 2009.
Yes! Definitely. We’ve been married 23 years 🙂
Yay! Congrats.
Gah I totally am! Although we’re not married. I feel so lucky to have a best friend like that. And I’m one of *those* people who think that you’re best friend/soulmate doesn’t necessarily have to be your partner or the person that you marry etc. Sure they can cross over but I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. Which is lucky fro me because I’m 99.9% certain that The Man and I will never get married 😛
Absolutely. I think there are plenty of people in life who can be those people for you. And sometimes they’re coming all at once and sometimes they show up one at a time.
Yep. My partner was my best friend before he was my partner. We were best friends for 3 years, then one day he turned up on my door step and told me he was in love with me. We’ve been together ever since. And he’s still my best friend 🙂
AW!
Gah! Cutest story EVER. Naaaaw.
Love this post, I think I married my best friend lol…. well most of the time he is anyway 🙂
Most of the time indeed. Ha!
The Husband is absolutely my best friend. There a billion of reasons why but I guess the biggest one is that there is no one else I can share my life with the way I do with him.
Naaaaaw Kylee, you romantic. Love this.
Were not married. YET. But he is my best friend!
Yay! Cute.
We were best friends until we had a child together. Then we were almost not together, taken a long time to get back to being JUST friends!
Oh eeek. Any tips for those of us yet to travel that road? Do you think the BFF’ness will come back ever?
Who better to be your best friend? Daniel is my besty, he knows every little thing about me in and out and top to bottom. We’ve been besty’s since we got together in highschool 9 years ago. There is no one else I would rather spend the rest of my life with! The funnest part is when you are having a comversation with a group of people and you share an inside joke with just one sly smile across the room to eachother, instantly knowing what the other is thinking……..and who else is gonna be my team mate when we are playing co-op Call of Duty huh?
Indeed. Naaaaw, you little gamer lovers. This is the cutest.
I am one of those people. And I just came to that realization too. He’s just awesome. That’s obviously why I married him!
Obviously! Haha.
Yes, i have to admit, I am one of those people-hubby is my best friend. Lucky me! But this is the first relationship where I have felt that with someone, so it must be the real deal-ha ha
He must be! Score.
Haha. Maybe you’re right.
And yes, LOVE the washing thing, it’s one of my favourite things. 😉
My husband of ten years gave me four beautiful children….enough said. 🙂
