There are many reasons that I’m so happy to have my boyfriend also be my best friend. While some people may consider these things “boyfriend traits” or “best friend traits”, I consider them both. Many things are important to being a best friend, some of these things are....

1. Distance doesn’t matter

There is no amount of time without seeing each other that makes anything in our relationship change. Everything is exactly the same the next time we see each other and always includes a big hug.

2. Laughter is necessary

I don’t think there is many days where he doesn’t ensure the fact that I laugh about something. For no particular reason, I am forced to laugh simply because he wants me to be happy.

3. Reminders

I’m always constantly worrying about all the things I have to do. He’s always there to remind me to take things one at a time and to take breaks from everything.

4. Listening to all my rants

If there’s one thing he’s good at its listening to me talk about everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, he’s always there to listen and offer his two sense on anything.

5. Giving me tough love

Everyone needs a friend in their life that will say what you need to hear rather than you want to hear. I don’t always like it but I’m glad he does it.

6. Always being willing to get food with me

Everyone loves food. Having food with people you love is even better though. Especially when you can have any amount of food you want without it mattering.

7. Being reliable

Being friends at various points in time before having a relationship with my boyfriend makes him such a reliable best friend to have. He’s been there in the past so I know he’ll be there in the future.
