somedude81 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 With the talk from people of how their partner is their best friend; when did they become best friends? During the relationship or before it was formed?
runner Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I am curious to know what other people think about this After dating someone exclusively for a while, and things are going well, is it wrong to want my S.O. to become my best/closest friends and vise-versa? And when I say best friend… I’m not saying to be together 24/7 or to not have other friends. But I am saying that you start becoming each other’s confidant, and start turning to each other for their opinion on issues/topic, and that everything you do is an open door to your S.O. (Now don’t go to extremes…I’m saying to invite your girl to a bachelor party… but that your S.O. should feel welcome to be able to join you all the time) Is that a realistic expectation? no it isn't wrong to want a partner who is also your best friend. that's pretty much the way to go if you want a healthy LTR. but if you feel like you can't trust your current S.O. on that level, then you should question where the relationship is going- i know i would.
Ruby Slippers Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 With the talk from people of how their partner is their best friend; when did they become best friends? During the relationship or before it was formed? I've had four significant relationships so far, and every one was different in this regard. But I personally have good results being good friends first, then getting involved romantically. In most cases, the friendship only got stronger in time.
