What is more important to you: a friendship or a partner?

Definitely my partner. My friendships have always come and gone. I only have 1 best friend I'd do anything for, but I'd still have to put my partner first if he needed me. To me my partner is my best friend, and my priority. Our relationship feels solid because we know we each come first.
I think a partner is more important, but I also think they are really your best friend anyway. Friends are great people to hang out with, but partners are people you trust to be alone with and make a life together with. Partners should always be your best friend, the person you have the most fun with over the course of your lives.
I dont know that I need my girl to be my boyfriend but for sure high up on the list. Like I shouldn’t have another girl I enjoy spending time with as much as her even but for sure not more.
Haha! I meant best friend… 🙃Sorry!
Also I don’t think I really answered that fully… 🤦♂️🤔
I would say that friendship is important! And I definitely want to be friends before dating and progress but I don’t know that I need her to be my best friend. I don’t know if that makes sense…😜🤔
Yeah I already guesst that you meant a best friend haha well a partner doesn't need to be your bestie, but I agree that friendship is needed
What is a "partner" without a friendship?
My husband is both. If I HAD to choose, I'd accept a platonic friendship with him over a "relationship" with someone I had less chemistry with. Because he's more important than the title.

Right now at my age, it’s my friends. I guess when I’m at a point where I want a serious relationship I would want a partner who was also my best friend! I see what amazing friends my parents are, and that they are also complete dedicated partners in life, and they are still like newlyweds! That is exactly what I want for myself in a husband.
Balance is key but partners take priority if we live with them.
For example, Help the person in front of you.
Partners can be many things: The parent of our children, our friend, our romantic lover and have to put up with our own imperfections almost 24/7... breaks away from partners yners are healthy and necessary for health but
The friendship and romance should advance at the same time. If it is a friendship first, it will never become a romance for me. My best friend and three of my four closest are all female. Fating any of them would be almost incestuous in my mind.
Exactly right. I agree 100%.
Don't really like the either or with this question.
If your husband is second to your friend, things might not go well. Also, if you load your husband with the pressure of being your best friend, also may be a problem.
But if you're lucky, you get both through your husband and everyone is happy.
my best and close friends would kick my ass... if I didn't make my partner the most important person in my life
that's the kind of friends I have... lol
Depends on where I am with life. I dont have a partner right now so I wouldn't mind friends but if I had a partner, I wouldn't choose my friends over my love.
The two are incomparable. I wouldn't be the man I am without my friends, but I'm definitely happiest when I have the love of a good woman. Apples to oranges.
I would not date or marry a guy unless I viewed him as a high quality friend. Just like you would not eat black pepper without something to put the pepper on.
I’m glad to see many people saying that friendship is essential for a partner, because it’s 100% true.
Yeah agreed
A female friend is more valuable. Women tend to live longer on average, so the investment pays off.
Friendship!
If your partner doesn't become your best friend you are doing it wrong.
Friends who always will stay friends should never be tampered with the wrong way and what you feel most be mutual.
Definitely my partner it's all the one package
A wife would be my besty, for the same reason you mentioned, but having a partner is more important to me because of that. Because a partner is a besty plus commitment plus sex.
I need to be friends with someone before I date them. So it's kind of necessaru to have the former to have the latter. Nobody is hot enough to make me want to be with them uf we don't have similar interests
Agreed!! Hopefully 2 birds with one stone and relationship where they are my best friend
I don’t know. I value both very much. I would love to marry my best friend. That’s the only way to go. I agree
I’m like you. I think both are very important
I agree with you that Best Friends should just be that, and someday become partners.
Friendship is more important but my boyfriend is important to me too
a partner because they usually become your best friend. Friends cone in go.
