And, how did you get to know them? And how long did it take for you to think of them as your best friend?
My wife is my best friend - we do almost everything together and she knows me better than anyone else.
My best friend (we refer to each other as soul friends. It’s like soul mates, but without the romance. Haha) I met while working security. I’ve worked security a long time, mainly solo posts. I hate working posts with another guard. Ended up working 20 hour shifts with him, stuck in an 8x8 shack with a 4 hour turn around. 12 shifts back to back. Never once ran out of conversation. Bestie for life.
Definitely my wife. She likes to remind me though that I shouldn’t just rely on her, and should socialize more. When one’s spouse dies, men tend to die quite quickly after their wife dies, because men aren’t good at making new friends or keeping up with existing ones over time. Women tend to be much better at both of those. Kind of macabre, but she’s not wrong.
I feel like they get me and they make me feel like a regular person, they’re cool I’m glad I met them. I wish I could make them feel the same.
Always there for me, always on time, and we trust each other.
