Tell me about your BFF

I used to have a BFF and then we had a huge fight and now we're "oh hey, long time no see" acquaintances that occassionally bump into each other at the mall.
Now I'm taking applications lol. FI says he'll be my BFF but if you can't go shopping with me, you can't be my BFF TYVM.

Re: Tell me about your BFF
My BFF and I had a falling-out about 6 years ago and "reunited" about 5 years ago. The falling-out was mostly caused by my boyfriend at the time. Jerk.
Anyhow, she still makes me crazy sometimes (especially with unsolicited parenting advice), but I'd be pretty sad if I didn't have her to vent to, shop with, etc.
I have been BFFs with a girl I grew up with for almost (counting) 20 years. We don't live near each other anymore, but we talk 2 - 4 times a day, easy. We also email daily. Before she got married and moved away, we had NEVER been apart for more than 2 weeks (which happened once when my fam went on vacation). She is one of the single most important people in my life.
My BFF is my sister! She's two years younger and she just moved to Colorado a few months ago.
I'm still getting over not seeing her all the time.
My BFF moved to Orlando, FL about 3 years ago now. Right around the time DH and I started dating "exclusively". So, it was actually pretty good timing. She was/is the kind of girl that likes to party....a lot! We would always be clubbin or hitting up a local bar and meeting random guys. But once DH and I started dating, that slowed down lots...she just happened to get serious with a guy around the same time. He moves to Florida - she followed. They're still together, not engaged or anything, but just bought a house together down there. So, I doubt she's moving back to STL anytime soon.
We still talk on the phone every week. I still love her to death! We've been BFF since the 7th grade. We went away to college together, she was my MOH and everything. I miss her like crazy. But if she was still living here, she would want to party all the time still and now, especially with DS in the picture, I just don't live that lifestyle anymore. I'm hoping her boyfriend will propose soon (since they're getting a house together and all). I'll be her MOH (she'll get married here in STL). But it's sad that we can't see each other often...maybe twice a year during holidays and she comes once during the summer too.
I am truely lucky to have 4 along with my little sister. S has been my BFF for around 17 years, we were always together in high school, lived together in college and now live in the same town. She is engaged so we are at different points in our life now since I got married and then DD being born but we still talk daily and see each other on a regular basis. I also have 3 other girl friends that have been friends since childhood. two live a few hours away and one is in town, I talk to them daily and see them when they come home. I do not know what I would do with out these girls!
I need a gay BFF here in STL to go shopping with and gossip about DH.
Her son (my nephew) just turned 2, and she hates the bump, lol. She rolls her eyes every time I mention it
We have the exact same sense of humor, and I love not having to explain things to her. She just gets it.
Wow--you are better off without her! I am really sorry to hear that.
My BFF lives in Philly and I live in NH. We met in college and roomed together and have been friends for 10 1/2 years. We had rooms right next to each other and kicked our roommates out so we could room together. There have been a few times where we lost touch for a bit, but when we talked it was like no time had gone by. When we write or talk to each other we call each other "best friend." We are brutally honest with each other.
She goes out of her way to do things for others and a lot of the time needs to be reminded to take care of herself. I'm that reminder for her, and she keeps me sane! Sometimes we talk daily, sometimes we don't talk for months, but we always pick up where we left off. Unfortunately since we live so far apart she hasn't met B and that makes us really sad, but that's life.
This is me exactly. DH and my mom are my BFFs now.
my BFF and I know each other from undergrad. We had a fall out for about 3 yrs caused by her BFand we united again. We are just great BFF now. She has emerged a new and matured person after her break up with that BF.
We talk a lot, she recently bought a home very close to mine, we shop a lot, she took great care of me in pregnancy, threw me an awesome baby shower along with my sister and much more. I cannot wait to repay back the kindness she showed. Seems like she is planning to get married next year and it would be a great opportunity for me to do something for her.
I had a BFF that I had been friends with since the 2nd grade, and then we had this huge, dramatic ending to our friendship a few years ago. She even turned some of our mutual friends (that I had introduced her to) against me, at least temporarily. Looking back, if we had just both communicated with each other like adults, I don't think our friendship would have ended.
Honestly, the ending of that relationship was more traumatic to me than any breakup with a boyfriend. So much so that I have yet to have a BFF since then, and have not made many new friends at all. I'm weary of people getting too close, I guess.
I know I need to get over it, but when you trusted someone and they completely betrayed that trust....it aint' so easy.
I consider my mom and DH my BFF's but my BFF before them, my MOH, we've been BFF's for 18 years! She's more like a sister to me. I love that no matter what's going on in our lives we always have time to be there for each other. She was the first non-family member, that taught me what unconditional love TRULY was.
Sadly we live states apart! For now!
I'm so jealous of you! My BFF is also a gay male, but he's the Worst Gay Ever. He has no taste in clothes, hates to shop, can't cook, and doesn't even care about celebrity gossip. I keep asking him if he's sure he's gay. He says his boyfriend is pretty sure.
My BFF and I were BFF since we were 2. We took family vactions together when we were younger then spring breaks together when we were older. She even came with me and my family on an Italy trip. We spent holidays together, spoke every day the whole nine yards.
Anyway my life started to take off, I got engaged, bought a co-op, passed my registration exam and she began to pull away from me. She was single, lived with her parents and failed her registration exam. I never rubbed anything in her face. I down played everything in my life to not make her feel bad, but it didn't work. She was in my bridal party, even picked out the dresses. Then that was it. Sh stopped taking my phone calls, she stopped calling me. She never came or even responded to my shower. Never came to the wedding. That was almost 4 years ago. Haven't heard from her since. She knows that I had a baby and never contacted me. I am still sad about it. Mainly because I don't really know what happend.
I have two BFF's, I met them both around the same time in the 8th grade. We are now 30!
One is a gay man who I love like a brother, he is more family than a friend. In fact, I am sure he is my soul mate. I don't believe soul mates have to be love interests. He is literally my other half. But so is my other BF who is a woman. I love them both as much as I love my blood family, they are a huge part of my life and helped me become the person I am today. They are just part of me and will always be. I am closer to them then my husband. I don't know if that is necessarily a good thing but its true. I am so blessed to have them in my life. My girl BF is currently pregnant after a long run with infertility and I am so thrilled we will be able to raise our babies together. She lives in Baltimore and I'm in Harrisburg but I know we will be together as much as we can. She is having a boy and I have a girl so we joke that they have to get married.
I have two. My non-Army BFF and I became friends in college and have managed to stay close through my marriage, her crazy love life, Army moves on my part, Katrina upending her life and now, my DS. He's soon going to have a firm belief that Aunt Beth always appears with gifts. She lives in New Orleans and I'm about a little over an hour away so I don't get to see her all the time (but more than when DH was in the Army), but we talk constantly and make a point to get together in one of our cities once a month. My Army BFF was my battle buddy for DH's last deployment - our husbands are close friends from college and we lived in adjoining duplexes and ate dinner together every night while the guys were gone. We bonded over books, cooking and the fact that both of us are a little more liberal (well, a lot more on her part) than most Army wives. We meet up once a year (or more if we can swing it) and it's as if no time has passed at all. I miss having her next door terribly though.
I consider both of them sisters and they actually really love each other too. Beth made me cry when she came to visit during that deployment. I'd lived with her here for the first one and as hard as she tried to help me, it was hard for her to understand what I was going through. She met Meg and wrapped her arms around her and said, "Thank you for being my best friend's best friend and being there for her where I can't be". We all sniffled and snuggled together for a few minutes after that one.
