    I’m married to my best husband. He’s amazing, as much as I complain about the little annoyances. Today is my bestie’s birthday, I miss her. I’ve know her 3 times longer than DH: she’s seen me grow up. They’re definitely 2 different kinds of relationships.

    I have a friend who is closer to me than my other friends, so by definition, she is my best friend. 

    I don't really consider my spouse to be a friend because our relationship is so much deeper and more than friendship. "Friend" as a title falls very short of our relationship.

    Normally I would say I married my best friend (cuz he is), but I would be doing my girl friend a disservice if I didn't consider her a big part of my life these days!

    I’m going with married to my best friend. DH knows literally every single thing about me, and with many things he is the person I need to talk things out with before sharing with anyone else. While I love my girl BFFs so so much, I’m a fairly bad long-distance friend (and none of them live even in the same state as me). It’s something I’m constantly trying to get better at!

    I have my husband and then I have my best friend. Two separate people although they are eerily similar which I guess makes sense since they are both my people.

    DH is definitely my best friend but I have a BFF that I hang out with several times a week. We actually started hanging out at the beginning of the pandemic. Hiking on the Alaskan trails isn’t something you want to do solo. So it’s best to have friends and we hiked several mountains and trails this summer/fall. She is someone I text random things to throughout the day and even late at night. I haven’t had a BFF like this since high school so I feel pretty blessed.
