Do you consider your spouse your best friend? And is your spouse suppose to be your best friend? Yes you guys are living together, building a life together, where you are emotionally and physically intimate, but are you guys close that you tell your spouse everything that comes across your head (hence they are your "best friend?")

Tough one - I would say that yes, he is my best friend, but I also have female best friends who I discuss all the girly stuff with. I wouldn't be without either!

I'm with you - he knows me better than anyone in the world, but I don't bury him with all the chitter chatter flitting around my brain. That's what my best girlfriends are for Your spouse should never be your only best friend.

Exactly - well put! Best friend, yes - only best friend, no!

I agree! I can't talk about everything to my DH nor does he give great advice about certain things or relate to those things. I tend to think of him as a Best Friend but some things guys will never understand and vice-versa. It doesn't mean I appreciate or love him any less. I just like that I have best friends that I can vent to without having to answer a million questions or provide a lot of background to.

Yes, he absolutely, positively IS my best friend. I tell him everything, without filter. We started off as good friends and realized that we were more, so being together was actually our only option. He knows my dreams and aspirations, my regrets and sorrows - and I believe I know his. We finish each other's sentences, we say the same thing at the same time - in unison, same intonation, cadence, and emphasis; and yet, we are opposites in many complementary ways. He is an introvert, I am an extrovert; he is nearly fearless (earned him a few medals in the army) and I am easily frightened; He is quick to anger yet easy to release and I am a slow-boil type who has to work at it to let it go (he helps me there).
Friends who confide in either of us know that we will share - and without exception they have been greatful for the combined wisdom they get in return. We never accept a confidence that isn't preceded with our, "you know I will tell my spouse" warning because neither of us wants to have to think before we speak with each other.
And he IS my only best friend. I have female friends I am best FEMALE friends with, but no one I am as close to as I am with my husband.
We are best friends. Our relationship comes before ANY other relationship. We tell each other everything. it should not be any other way.
