My best friend is my wife, so I would have married her.

My best friend guy does even call me anymore. :(

Workin' on that right now. Two best friends are both women, one's my sister & one's my g/f.

:Q Since you can't seem to decide, I recommend marrying your g/f and not your sister. ;)

So no.

Haha, my best friend is a better cook than my wife. We joke sometimes about how domesticated we are but really...there's no friggin' way I would marry him.

It makes me sad, one of my two best friends is getting married this July, and I'll be heading off to law school in a year, probably on the East Coast, for three years. I'm so used to hanging out with the same five people that I know that time is going to be difficult.

Same!

I feel sorry for anyone who has to qualify their relationship with their spouse by saying they are also their best friend. Duh. I think it's pretty obvious that you should have a better relationship with your spouse than you do with any of your friends.

I'm fine with the idea of living day in and day out with my friends in the same house.
