Lover and/or Best Friend?
Do you think it is better for your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/lover to also be your best friend? Or is it better for them to just be your significant other.
Explain too, please.

I don't know how anyone else would define their relationship, but I know my husband is also my best friend. He's the one I want to tell everything to, and do everything with. He's the one I turn to when I can't cope and he's the one I yell at when I'm at my witts end. He's also the one who forgives all my faults and loves me in spite of them...and sometimes because of them. He understands me and makes my life easier by just being in it.
I love him. I feel passionate about him. I respect him. I like him. I can't imagine life without him. I was lonely before even though my life was filled with love and family. Now I never really feel alone even when he's not beside me (which is often). He's a presence in my life that is enduring and comforting just to think about. He's my lover, and he's my best friend. eta: I have to add also that I've had 'great loves' in my life before. It wasn't the same though. I was passionate about them and enjoyed being with them, but there was always things I kept to myself. I don't really know why or what is different with my husband, but I just don't even think about not telling him things. It's like if I don't tell him I'm doing something wrong. It's this difference that makes me know that this relationship is rock solid. I never felt so sure of my own individual future until I decided to share it with Daryl.

55% of men say that their lover is their best friend.
62% of men say that man's best friend is his dog. This sounds unwholesome to me.

My husband is also my best friend. Pretty much everything that Ali said is true for me, only I don't write as eloquently. I can't imagine it any other way.
