Yes, my boyfriend is actually my best friend. And no, I will not apologize for that. Now don't get me wrong, it is definitely important to have friends other than your boyfriend. I do not think you should drop all of your friends for a guy, but I do think it is okay for him to be your best friend.

My boyfriend is the one person that I know I can always count on. I have never had a gal pal, or any other friend, that has been there for me like he has. No girl can ever compare to my man. Believe me, I love my gal pals and they give me a different type of friendship, but they do not give me the best friendship that I get from my boyfriend.

It's just different with him.

My other half knows me like nobody else does. He has seen all sides of me. He still loves me and doesn't judge me for things that girls always have judged me for. He lets me cry and scream. He loves when I am happy. He always tells me the truth, even if it hurts. He is sincere about the truth when it does hurt though. He always encourages me. He makes me want to be a better person and he always holds me accountable for my actions. He even lets me borrow his clothes, like all of the time. These are all qualities that I look for in a best friend and they are qualities that I have only found in my boyfriend.

People may argue that your significant other should not be your best friend because they may break up with you. But I guess those people don't realize that friends can and will leave you too. I have had more friends hurt me just in the time that my boyfriend and I have been dating. So the whole "he's going to break up with you" crap just doesn't phase me. Anybody that you let into your life has the ability to hurt you.

Hopefully, I don't lose my boyfriend because he is all I want, need, and more. But if I do, I know that I can still survive on my own. I still have other friends, too. The key to having your boyfriend as your best friend is simple; just don't make him your whole entire world. Don't lose your friends because of him. Have friends that aren't his. It is really that simple.
