How would you describe your relationship with your best friend?

As the title says... how would you describe your relationship with your best friend? Few examples: why are they your best friend? What do you value most in the relationship? What impact have they had on your life? How would you feel if you were to lose this person? Of course, you can mention the negatives as well as if positives if you wish

Oh, and I'd love to hear about how long you've been friends for also.

I consider my bf my best friend. He stood by me through all my bs. He was there when I went to IP, detox, went crazy lol. I thank him everyday for all he does for me. He's the bread winner and I havn't been able to work since March. He's impacted my life by being opposite of what I am. He's so positive about life and calms me when I feel the world is going to end. At the end of the day, he's by my side telling me "it will be ok". So you can say we even each other out a bit.

I've been friends with my best friend for about 10 years. We have a lot in common. She is the sweetest most caring person I know. She is thoughtful and understanding. She's there when I need her.

My best friend is my husband - we are just so much on the same wave length, we think the same things at the same time and often we don't even need to speak just a look says it all. He's quite a different sort of person to me, more confident, forthright, I'm gentler and quieter - so we complement each other nicely. We've been best friends 22 years now.

My second best friend is like a mirror in many ways, quiet and shy, wacky humour - and a patient listener, someone I can confide in and vice versa - we've been friends only a year but very quickly became close friends.

When I remember having one. It was like every good and bad time was simple and fun. It's just memories now, but it's something I would like to feel again.
It was like I couldn't live without their company at one time. A place when I was free mostly to smile without ridicule.

I refer to my best friend as my wife. We've been married for 15 years, but knew each other much longer than that. Basically, she's the other half of me is the best way to describe it. She compliments my logical side by being emotional (in a positive way). She keeps me interested in things I don't usually do while I interest her in things she wished she'd never heard of.

Then of course we have a lot in common as well and even if we weren't married would probably hang out together and go to games and car shows and operas and such.

My two closest/best friends (I spend a great deal of time with my bf but I would not call him my best friend, he's my partner which to me encompasses the friendship + love, etc.) are both people that have been with me through all sorts of things and vice versa. I feel like I can trust both of them 100%. I can't say that about very many people, I'm not really that open to people.

One, we met in junior high school and stayed in touch over the last 20 or so odd years. We have both lived in multiple states, but ended up back in the same place, we were roommates for a while. No matter how much time passes we pick up as though no time has passed. I know I can text her in a time of crisis and she will text me back asap, even if we haven't hung out in a month or two. We are both pretty busy so a month can go by quickly without seeing each other much, sadly.

My other best friend is an ex. We were friends before we dated so it made sense to stay close after we dated. Luckily my bf is not threatened by the friendship. With her it's more like we just "get" each other. She was close to me during one of the worst times in my life, and still cared about me and I think she is probably the one person that truly knows all the deep dark corners of my mind and still cares. She's also lived in several states but now she's 3-1/2 hours a way so we see each other a few times per year.

Thank you all so much for sharing

Yismymindblank12 - I'm sure you'll find yourself another friend who makes you feel that way!

i was backstabbed by someone i considered a bf in college. now i am married to a great person and we've known each other our whole lives. i couldn't ask for a better husband.

I'd say my best friend is my brother. We've been through everything together, have a basically identical sense of humor, moral code, and view of the world. We had our issues growing up (what siblings don't?), but he's always there when I need him and I try to do the same for him. He's always able to make me crack a smile, even when I'm fighting not to. He still makes me crazy sometimes, and I'm sure I do the same to him, but that's just part of life.

Too many memories to list them all but I think my favorite was he and I went on a trip together when he graduated high school down to Jamaica. We really bonded, though a lot of the memory of that trip is, ahem, hazy to say the least

My best friend would definitely be my dog, Pika! Yes, like the Pokemon.

We got her when I was born, she was such a tiny and cute puppy from what I've seen in pictures. Her and I grew up together and she makes me feel safe. Mostly because she barks at anything that moves and I'm a very paranoid person. So when Pika's quiet, that means that no noises are happening and no noises means no threats. She, unfortunately, was born with a skin condition and we've been trying our best to make her as comfortable as possible. She's also an old lil dog, being my age, which is sixteen. She was a dog that chose favorites and apparently I was her favorite, though she loves my little brother a lot, too. Her and I don't do much. We mostly just lay around and sleep. But that's still a great way to pass the time! She truly means the world to me. Pika's truly like a sister to me.

The Skeezyks has no friends...

You have your wife... she's worth 64343546 friends, right?
