Although many people think it’s not okay for your boyfriend to be your best friend, I wholeheartedly disagree and here’s why. Have you ever known that annoying couple who is always together and you don’t understand how they can spend so much time together? Well, I know you’re lying because we’ve all done it. However, this is the first time I’ve been that annoying couple.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for three and a half years and he is my absolute best friend. I am completely comfortable around him and we like all the same things. We are completely different people yet we are oh so similar. Through these years, he has been the person I want to call with any news, good or bad. He is the person I have the most fun with whether we're doing something or nothing at all. He has helped me through some pretty rough times and held me many times while I’ve cried. He has made me laugh when I needed it and told me I was wrong when I needed that too. I know he doesn’t gossip about me and I know he won’t share my secrets to fit in. He understands when I just want to lay around and be lazy or when I’m not in the mood to be social. He’s comfortable with my silence. He never forces me to do things I don’t want to do but encourages me to step out of my comfort zone. He sings Beyoncé in the car with me and dances with me when there’s no music playing.

Although many of you may think being with your boyfriend every day is not okay, how often are you with your best friend? Because that’s what he is, my best friend. So, this is the last time I’m explaining myself to those who don’t understand but I can only hope that one day your significant other becomes your best friend. Because I promise you, there is no better feeling.
