    or do you have someone else you consider your best friend?

    Mr. Bee is definitely my best friend.  Whenever I ask him about shopping and girly things, he tells me that I need to hang out more with my girlfriends.  I just don't have the time though!  And Mr. Bee is my best friend whom I tell everything to.

    What about you?

    My husband is the person that I am closest to, but I need my girlfriends!  When I haven't had a girls night out or a marathon catchup session with my best girlfriend I miss it.  So I'm definitely lucky to have more than on best friend (if that's possible given the definition of best).

    Absolutely! We can't keep anything from each other so its really a full-reveal sorta relationship (which according to Cosmo is the kiss of death!) and it's one of the best things about our relationship. No one else compares except family!

    Without a doubt!  We tell each other everything, and whenever something happens, he's the first person I want to tell.  We tease each other that we each need more friends of the same sex so that we don't have to rely on the other all the time, but we really love it.  I love being able to say that I'm marrying my best friend.

    Nope.  Fi and I have had this discussion before and we just don't classify each other as being a best friend.  My maid of honor is my best friend.  Fi is something more than that.  While our relationship bears some similarities as that of best friends, I think we actualy both made a conscious effort to not call each other by that title.  For both of us, it's reserved for other people. I don't know why.  I guess that might be wierd but it is what it is.

    Without a doubt I don't just consider him my best friend, he is my best friend.  The first time he told me I was his best friend it melted my heart, I always felt it, but sometimes you don't hear guys actually say it.

    My best friend has been my best friend since I was 9 yrs old. Although we have lived at least 3000 miles away from each other since I was 12, she has always, and will always be my best friend. My boyfriend also has a best friend from high-school (who is, as I type, sleeping in our guest room after we all had a night on the town LOL). We are both honest to a fault with one another but we both understand the importance to each of us of our best friends. I can't wait to see the two of them standing by us on our wedding day as our MOH and best man.

    He is my best friend but I have a lot of close friends who I have known much longer. I hope I can maintain all of those friendships. There's an ease and comfort with people you have know for years and years that you just can't find anywhere else.

    We're definitely each other's best friends.  My FI once said (after he couldn't speak to me for like a week) that he needed to talk to me, because although his (best man) is is good good friend, he knows I'm his best friend and he wanted to share it with me first!  *sigh* He can be so sweet!

    Yes, definitely. I don't have anything that I wouldn't talk about with him. I have some girl friends, but I never gossip/complain/etc about him behind his back - if I have a beef (or a glee) about him, I tell him about it and we talk. We talk TONS... and we've always had that "something" that makes one be able to finish another's sentence, or predict what the other person is thinking/feeling/saying. We were friends before we dated, and it's just always been that way. I hope it stays that way too - I won't lie, open, honest communication takes a LOT of work and a LOT of courage. It's so worth it though.

    Oh and he's great at "lady" things too - like he'll tell me when my hair's messed up or when a pair of pants makes me look fat (really!). I was put off by it when we first started dating, then I realized how rare it is to have a man actually notice/be honest about clothes or little appearance-related things.

    My fiance is my best friend in that I tell him everything and if I want to do something, I ask him if he wants to go before I ask anyone else.  But, I have a best girl friend too, because I've known her longer and she really gets me.

    I used to have a different best friend before I met the Mr. She and I were insanely close. True sisters by heart. I live in CT and she lived in NC. I spent a long weekend in NC every month for 2 years. She got engaged and married shortly before I got engaged. She and her husband had a lot of problems, all intensivied by his deployment to Iraq. I got engaged and she got jealous that I had someone around. To make a long story short, we aren't friends anymore and it was the best thing for my relationship with my FI. There no longer is another person in our relationship that I would feel loyal to drop everything for. My FI is definitely my best friend now.

    My fiance is DEFINITELY my best friend in the world, and I wouldn't have it any other way. We both still do stuff with our friends and family, but when it comes down to it, he is who I trust and whose opinion I value over anyone else!

    Yes...that's kind of how I knew.  This is the first relationship where he's the person I most want to turn to first when things are hard or happy, not my BFF or sister.  I'd never experienced that before.  Not that my BFF and sister don't still share my joys and sorrows, but FH just hears about 'em first.

    Totally.  In the beginning when we were talking about what we wanted from a relationship he told me he wanted a best friend and a girlfriend in one.  My FI lost his best friend in a car accident about 6 years ago and he has never had a close friend since. He was afraid to let anyone in so it meant a lot that he wanted me to be that person.

    Well, we are def there now.  As he puts it 'we are a team'.  We have incorporated all of our friends now, but we know that first and foremost we have each other.  I still have my sister and my best friend to support me when I need to vent about his mom, his daughter's mom, or just a fight we've had.  But even then I know that some things are sacred and that I will never put anyone before him (besides his daughter and any kids we might have someday).And the same with him :)

    I can honestly say my fiance is definetly my best friend as well...

    He is the only person I felt like I could say anything to without being judged, ridiculed, not be mis-understood. I love that about having open communication with him. I think the othr great thing about him is he just gets me

    I just feel so lucky to have someone like that in my life. =o) I love him so much! 

    -But yeah I still have my girlfriends who I am very close to, and discuss otherwise girly things with. 

    But it defintely balances things out!

    I'm very close with my *girl* best friend.  We have been inseperable since practically birth.  She really knows me better than anyone.  I love my fiance to death and I tell him everything, but it's sometimes easier to talk to my BFF.  Even though I have a girl best friend, I still consider him my best friend.  I love having both of them I can turn to.

    Yes I do! He's the first person that I've ever been this close to (other than my sister). I haven't had that much luck in the friend department, but he's made up for that. :)

    My fiance is my  best friend. Hands down. While I adore and appreciate my girlfriends, I find that he knows me better than anyone as he has seen me during the very low points and has helped me to the very high points of life.

    I've never been one of those girls with a GF as tight as a sister (though I am pretty tight with my sisters)

    There are definitely way more things that my fiance knows about me than most of my girlfriends!  I'm much happier being his best friend and just having a close-knit group of friends (not "besties") for the girly times.

    I don't call Mr. Spin my best friend. We are incredibly in love and no one knows me like he does. And I would drop anything to help him, etc., as someone else mentioned. But my twin sister will always be another little part of my soul and my heart. And really there's no other way that could be. Because I would drop everything if she needed me and she would do the same for me. Some people would probably think that may not be fair to Mr. Spin, but he knew from the beginning that my sister's stamp of approval was needed. Unlike other guys though, he got that stamp of approval pretty darn fast. ^_^

    Mr. Spin is very accepting of this, though. We've had some heart to hearts about it, that while he will be my husband, nothing can quite compare to the bond I have with my sister. But on the other side of that coin, the bond with my sister cannot compare to my relationship with Mr. Spin. Thankfully, it all works out without having to think about it too much and everyone is very considerate of each other, which is very important.

    And he's even said that if she needed to, she could live with us temporarily after the wedding (complicated job/location issues), but *I* put the kibosh on that unless truly truly necessary. ^_^

    Definitely, and the best part is that we were best friends for 4 years during college before we even started dating!  We had dated other people during those years and so when we both wound up single, we thought about it, realized we spent every day together and knew there was something more to it than just loving each other's company, so we gave it a try and here we are! :)

    My FI is absolutely my best friend. I feel very blessed that I fell in love with my best friend and get to spend the rest of my life with him. We both have our friends, but at the end of the day, it's him that I want to tell first when something good/bad/or in between happens and he's the same way.

    While I do have girlfriends I would consider my "best friends," I'm closest to my boyfriend. We were friends for years before we dated, so he went from someone I considered to be one of my best friends to the ultimate best friend. We always have so much fun together, he's a great listener (better than me, actually), and there's no one else I'd rather spend time with.

    he is def. my best friend, and not to sound like a total loser, he is really my only friend.  I know that doesn't sound healthy but I moved for a really good job and it was in the city where now FI lives, soooo I left a lot of my friends and through various attempts by myself alone, I have lost touch with most of them.  I have tried forming friendships with FIs friends and SOs of his buddies, however we just don't "mesh"

    I know this is an older thread, but I am one of those that don't consider my FI my best friend.  There is no one who holds the special place in my life that he does, and I definitely considered a lot of my ex boyfriends my best friends when I was dating them!  In fact, my FI is probably the only guy I have seriously dated that I have not considered my best friend.  

    Maybe once we move in together I will feel differently, I think that creates more intimacy.
