I was just posting in another forum here on cd about friends and ages, etc and I thought about my SO. He is my very best friend. Never before has an SO or my spouse been my been my best friend.

I like it.....

I can talk to him about anything, and vice verse. I am able to talk to him about ex husband problems and issues and he does not seem to feel the least bit uncomfortable, and neither am I in doing it.

Not only do we share what our days were like with one another, but what our lives were like.

I don't have some best girlfriend that I run to when my feelings are hurt about something or when I am having family issues or even if I am just gossiping about this or that. (I know, gossiping is bad)

I run to him. He knows when I am happy or sad or hurt or need a hug or even just a kiss on my forehead.

We can rag on each other. I guess he is actually my everything.

Is your SO your best friend, or have you had an SO who was your best friend?

It really to me just feels good.

That's the way it's supposed to be!

Since I don't have one I have nothing else to add but when I was married I considered her my best friend. But, just like platonic or regular friends sometimes the friendship doesn't last.

Best wishes to you all.

My wife is unquestionably my best friend and I am hers (she even said so the other night). We share everything, whether good or bad, and are truly partners. We've both been married before, and we often marvel at the vast differences between she and I and our exes. It's no contest--my wife rocks!

That is great. My ex husband def was not my best friend, and his ex ltr wasn't his either.

The differences with our exes and us is a lot like you say.....vast.

absolutely, and i would not have it any other way. We can and do talk to each other about anything. sure there are a few times where i screw up and she needs to vent to someone else, she has other friends for those situations. But for the most part we are each other's best friend and prefer it that way.
