"...No. Your husband is not your best friend. Your best friend is your best friend. If your husband were your best friend, what would that make your best friend -- the dog? When a woman tells me that her husband is her best friend, what I hear is: I don't really have any friends.."
A good marriage is a good friendship. Chemistry brings people together, but friendship is what makes continuing the relationship worthwhile.
The young woman is unwilling or incapable of making friends with her husband. She should free both of them.
It is a strange statement.
I have a female best friend but I also consider my husband my best friend.
I wonder how her husband felt when he read her tantrum?
In a good marriage, the husband and wife are best friends. The author is just jealous of all the women who are best friends with their husbands and that’s why she feels the need to denigrate them. And only a complete idiot could make the jump from “My husband is my best friend” to “I don’t really have any friends.” Biggest logical fallacy I’ve seen in years.
What a bitter and negative person this author is. She lives an empty and miserable life and it’s a lifestyle of her own choosing. And did she even stop to think what kind of effect her article would have on her husband if he read it, or worse - if his boss read it?
The sad thing is that many men will think all women are like this and post their own bitter experiences. We’re not all like the author. I certainly have nothing in common with her.
