I don't have a best friend..do you?

I made my best friend through MSE - Mooloo. It was totally unexpected but an absolute life-saver - It was meant to be!

I realised we lived close to each other and the rest is history:j:j:j

A very interesting read. I have no best friends and have no desire to change this. I have an DH and DD and my animals, they are my world and I'm happy.

The friends we have are a small select group of beautiful folk, but I wouldn't lose any sleep if they stopped coming round ! :rotfl:

I hope that helps a little. It sounds a little corny but I believe that we make friends with people for a reason - either they are there to help us, or we are there to help them, the issue is resolved and then you move on to new friends with who,m you share an interest, passion, or just through your children. People, relationships, friendships, they all change and come and go - you'll have friends who are there to help you through stuff in life. They will be important to you - you just may not have realised it yet.

My husband is my best friend, we have shared nearly 20 years together and when Im happy, sad, etc its always him I go to for reassurance. Ive a few female friends I wouldn't say we were very close though. Ive also got my 3 kids, if anything is happening with them, its DH I want to talk about it with because he loves them as much as me.

DH and I have a group of 10 or so really close friends. I also have a "best" friend. We've known each other since secondary school (so nearly 20 years now :eek:) and we have shared everything together and helped each other through some really tough times. We now live 90miles or so apart but we keep in touch and when ever we meet up its like we've never been away from each other She's such a big part of my life that I couldn't imagine being without her anymore than I could my family

My DH is my best friend

I've had a few best friends in the past but we grew apart over the years due to moving away from each other and just general growing up (or not growing up in some cases).

Now I kind of have 2 best friends, but I don't think I'm theirs IYKWIM, it's sad They've been friends for longer than they've known me and we do get along great and I know they'd be there for me if I need them (and vice versa) but they also do a fair bit without even thinking about inviting me along which hurts TBH, but it's happened my whole life so I'm kind of used to being the 'extra' friend and not the 'best' friend. It's just going to get worse as my DH and I are hoping to start a family very soon so once a baby arrives they'll always be doing things without asking me along 'because of the baby'. Luckily I'm quite content with my own company and if I ever do need a rant or a chat I've got MSE friends I can turn to!

I have 2 best friends, both are my cousins, we were close before my ex left me, and they're the ones who have been there for me totally though all the crap with my ex and i love them more than theyll ever know for the support and love they gave me. They know pretty much eveything about me, and not a day goes by that I dont speak to either of them be it texts or calls. I spent the evening with one of them last night drinking wine and watching a film, and im seeing the other for the day tomorrow. and then they're both coming to mine saturday night for a girls night in!!!

I am still single right now, and god help any bloke that gets involved with me cos my best mates are extremely protective of me lol, plus hed have to share me with them.

Well judging by the amount of threads I start about my life and the advice I get from here, you lot must all be my best friends. :rotfl:

That's really very sad.

Ive got 1 best mate and friends l can go out with if l need a night out. l really love my bessie mate but she is very jealous of my husband who hasnt done her any harm. my previous relationship was abusive and she was my rock and we would go out together on the phone regular etc. When l got the balls to leave my ex she was so happy for me but when l met my hubby who is a really good man l saw a very different side to her. She started demanding my attention and being cheeky to my husband she even dithered about being my bridesmaid at the wedding. She started saying things like men love motherly looking women like me why couldnt she find someone maybe she should put abit of weight on and she could meet someone. At this point l thought who the hell do you think you are. This has been going on for over 7 years now and l have pulled back a fair bit now as l love my life and wouldnt change it for the world but sad my best pal couldnt be happy for me, its not like l left her behind l was and always will still be there for her but dont think she will be content until she meets someone.

I don't have a best friend but I do have 4 very close supportive friends that I can turn to over anything if I need to.
I have other less close friends that I see for a coffee & chat occisionally.
