Deluded or juvenile as this may be but whenever I have dreamt of settling down and getting hitched, I've always envisaged my partner as being my best friend.
I'd say that in my dating life I've had one experience where my partner has been that, which has been my longest relationship to date which lasted 7 years (check me out-that was a good innings lol), but since then, my partners have been simply boyfriends. There has been no great friendship that I can identify with all but a very small minority (1 other I can think off).
A year into my current relationship almost, it will be 1 year in september...now that our honeymoon period is over :( I am beginning to question. Is this a best friend? Is it even appropriate for me to be wanting such a thing? or is it something that harks back to when I was reading fairytale's of prince charming. The funny thing is I know that the prince in snow white, cinderella and the like all rescued the princess, but I'm not entirely sure they became best friends! I'm not sure where that notion comes from!
But anyways what do you think bloggers are partners supposed to be best friends? Is your partner your best friend? What's that like? (So I can compare lol).
I don´t really know Selly! I think its a nice notion, but whether it applies to all relationships I´m not so sure, in fact I doubt it does!
ReplyDeleteWhen you say best friend in what sense do you mean?
I mean when I think of my best friend´s they are people I think I can really reveal my deepest darkest fears, hopes, dreams and disappointments. Possibly stuff that I would not even reveal to my man for fear of him thinking I´m crazy!! haha (and we´re pretty solid as a couple).
The crazy emotional stuff for the best friends so they can talk some sense into me (hopefully!) and the sexy, rational, feisty stuff for my man I say...
and who said the honeymoon period is over yet?!
