Is your partner also your best friend?

We've been together 12 and married 10 and I do not know what I would do without him. He is my best friend and my everything. I do not understand women who complain about spending time with their husbands. I would rather be nowhere else.

Yes, yes, and yes! He knows things about me that no one else in the world knows and I'd rather spend time with him than anyone else.

Yep, he is definitely my best friend, and he has been since we first started dating 3 1/2 years ago.

My husband is definitely my best friend, though we don't have 100% overlap in all of our interests, so he still does his thing and I do mine. It works for us because he always has new things to tell me, and vice versa

Oh yea definitely. There are many 'hats' we wear in our relationship. Best friends is definitely one hat.

Yes, of course! We wouldn't have lasted too long if we weren't. A few days ago marked 19 years since our first date.

We began carpooling to work together about 5-6 years ago and I've been amazed by how many men and women in committed relationships have told me they can't imagine spending so much time in a car together five days a week (total is a two hour daily commute). Huh?!

Although I haven't been with my boyfriend 14 years- congrats!- he is my best friend. Each of us have social lives outside of each other, but it's not the same.

Same here but for 26 years, sometimes I think I'm not normal not having any girlfriends I can confide in but my my husband never makes me feel foolish or stupid. I trust him completely!

My boyfriend is my best friend. I have never felt as comfortable with him than I have with anybody else and we always have such a good time together.
