Lover and/or Best Friend?

[Chocolatl]

My husband plays a lot of different roles in my life, and "lover" and "best friend" are definitely included in that list. He's.... home. He makes me feel safe, and he bears a little of my burdens just like I bear some of his. A lot of what Ali said holds true for me, as well. My husband is the person I want to hang out with, and the person I go to for advice and support.

That said, I think I have a few best friends. I have relationships with female friends that are decidedly different from the relationship I have with my husband, but still very important. We support each other and spend time together, and these women are the people I consider my "best friends." The relationship I have with my husband is somewhere above that, and that's how I knew he was the right person to marry.
