Artista's best friend had been a friend since childhood, and I think that makes a big difference. Regardless, I always felt like I was my wife's best friend until the new guy came along.
doodler, i have to say that my H is truly my best friend... he and i can actually finish each other's sentences... have the same exact thoughts at the same exact moment... we know each other so well... have so many inside jokes between the two of us... many times, "out of the blue," we had the same exact thought--very weird... we are kindred spirits... this history would often come to my mind while we were separated... H said he would think on this too while we were apart... deep down, neither of us wanted to lose that... neither of us wanted to cut all those thousands of strands of thread that connected us... our relationship is deeper than the relationship between me and my male bf...
