My husband is my best friend and nothing is as fun without him.

I love his company so much that I want to be with him all the time

That is how my boyfriend and I are. I mean.. we "can" be apart.. but if we have a choice we prefer to stay together. We have been dating for 3.5 years and live together. I don't think there is anything wrong with spending lots of time together if you both enjoy it.

It is called infatuation, a foolish and usually extravagant passion or love or admiration.

Always being around the other person is excessive and hence not normal. It'll last six months or less then go south.

If it lasts longer it is definitely not normal.

My wife and I have been together almost 9 years, married for 5 and we love nothing more than to spend as much time together as possible. Like the other posters said, things just arent as much fun without her as they are with her.

Sounds like someone is lonely and wishes they had someone who wanted to be with them.

My brother and his wife have been married for 25 years and they're hardly ever apart. They not only live together but also worship together and work together. Once every few years she leaves the country to visit relatives and to look at him you'd think he just misplaced his keys before an appointment.

Probably the best part is that even though he was a natural follower when they got married. Instead of hen-pecking and controlling him, she has worked very hard to build his self-esteem up and encouraged him to take the lead. So much so that she now jokes that she's created a monster

I wish I could find that clip! It was on SNL way back in the 90's and it had Victoria Jackson and I think Kevin Nealon sitting on a dual two seater toilet holding hands. It was funny!

I have a friend who met this guy and after a few weeks were married. These two can't be apart to save their hides. They met at a dance I took her to so that she could get over her divorce from the last dipsh*t she married. So, she meets this guy at a dance, and they start taking group dance classes together. In a group dance class you rotate the line and dance with other people - that's how you learn in a group class. These two refuse to participate in the group class - the rotation part - because they're so afraid someone else is gonna "move in" on them. If they want to be all clingy and sh*t, like Klingons, they need to take private lessons - not be in a group where, by its very definition, you are dancing WITH THE GROUP. Drives me nuts!!!

of the longlasting marriages I know of that are the happiest, this sums up the couples... people of the oldest generation on down to the youngest...

it's not that they can't hack being apart from each other, it's that they have so much in common and enjoy each other's company so much that "togetherness" is just natural to them.
