BFF!
Do you remember saying that in school? I certainly do.
Long relationships are definitely not all sexual male/female relationships, and ‘best friends forever’ isn’t a term restricted to your teenage years!
It is good for you to have at least one other person other than your significant other to talk to because not having someone like that puts unhealthy expectations on your other. Just like you wouldn’t want one person to rely on your for all their communication, neither should you rely on your spouse to provide all your communication needs.
Plus, it is a lot more fun to have someone of the same sex to hang out with and talk to about certain things!
My best friend and sista is named Hawke. Hawke and I met on a forum for writers and were quick friends after that. She was there when my husband and I were courting, when he first proposed, and through some of my worst moments.
She is the woman I can rely on to keep my secrets, share girl talk with, and basically share all the highs and lows of my life with.
Like I have Hawke, my husband also has his own male friends to ‘be a bloke’ with.
Take some time to appreciate your friends – especially your best friends – and let them know how much you care. They have seen you through a lot (I know Hawke has seen me through the absolute worse) and they deserve a thank-you every now and then.
