Does anyone else find it cringe whenever someone calls their partner their "best friend"?

[Anonymous]

To me it's just wrong. Your partner isn't your friend at all. They are your lover not your friend and certainly not your best friend.

Yes

No

What do they become after 60 when you no longer have sex but have been together 40 years.

[Asker]

Just your partner. But never your best friend

[RebelinSteel]

Oh so why can they not be a friend, what’s the check list difference between a partner and a friend. Or rather what does a partner do that a friend does not?

Not at all. I would love for my future wife to be my best friend too.

Not really. I don't call my girl my best friend, but she is kind of my best friend. The only difference is I have sex with her

[Asker]

How often do you have sex with her?

[Opinion Owner]

We go through phases. Some weeks we will have sex every day, other weeks we will only have sex once or twice a week. It's kind of dependent on our schedules and energy levels.
