However, while my other friendships have come and gone, ours has been constant since we were 13. However, DH is definitely my best friend and no other relationship really comes close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127643 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:59:18 +0000 mediagirl 127643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend I call my best friend because we have been friends since college and have been there for one another through big moments. I don't talk to her all the time, though. My go-to person is my husband and I tell him pretty much everything. I can't imagine talking to my friends about things I talk to my husband about! Also, if I want to be catty, I know it won't leave our house and I won't get "Oh, Jill" for saying it. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127609 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:34:17 +0000 MaisyMay 127609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but I feel like we're growing apart, especially now that Hubs and I are trying to start a family and she's not looking towards marriage or family for a while. Also, we're about 7 hours apart. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127595 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 01:25:33 +0000 BSB 127595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 good female friends. I don't know I have a best friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127316 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:05:57 +0000 Minnie_Girl 127316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is my best friend--there's no comparing to the closeness I share with my husband. But I'm also really lucky to have three great sisters, and three longtime friends who I've known since preschool. </p> <p>It's kind of unfair to label any of the relationships the "best." They're all really important! My sisters are my support; we journey through life together, and understand each other in this priceless way. Sisters automatically understand your quirks and past. They get it, even when you can't describe it.</p> <p>My longtime friends have made my life so much more fun, interesting, and enjoyable. They bring unique perspectives while still having compatible personalities. They make me think and laugh!</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I have the same issue with making new girl friends. I've always found it a lot easier to befriend guys...there's no constantly lurking fear of competition or cattiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127277 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:39:49 +0000 Nskillet 127277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: how horrible!!!</p> <p>I have close friends but definitely am BFFs with my DH. Im also clsoe with my 2 sisters. </p> <p>Ive been bitten in the ass by a lot of female friends so im pretty guarded when it comes to the ladies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127123 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:44:04 +0000 HLK208 127123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is my best friend also. I have a good friend who was my MOH in my wedding but we only see each other every few months and I'm positive her SO is her best friend too. When it comes to hanging out with her, I'd pick DH. I have 3 sisters who I consider my best friend's but DH and I are still closer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127025 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:29:04 +0000 heffalump 127025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I did and we had a big falling out. We did some volunteering together and she accused me of using my migraines as an excuse to get out of things. Which really really hurt my feelings because she was my best friend, she knows how bad my migraines are, and I couldn't believe she thought about me like that. We're still friendly, but not BFF's. </p> <p>@highwire: DH is the ONLY person I will talk to about pooping. I have a weird thing about pooing and not letting anybody know when I'm doing it. DH gets to know, but still can't be anywhere near the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-127021 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:25:05 +0000 regberadaisy 127021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: HAHAHHAAH ditto.</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: I actually think that's why my good friend and I started to grow apart. Her and her best friend since high school had a sort of fight about a year or two ago. Ever since then things have just not been the same between her and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126879 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:20:17 +0000 Lozza 126879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: In that definition, DH actually IS my best friend :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126854 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:13:36 +0000 DillonLion 126854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A best friend is someone I can talk to about pooping. So DH doesn't qualify. I have a couple of female best friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126846 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:12:25 +0000 Maysprout 126846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby is my bestest best friend but I have 3 sisters and we call each other any where from a couple times a day to a couple times a month just depending what's going on. My closest girlfriends that aren't family I live several hours away from right now so it's hard to stay as close but we do try. I do have a couple girlfriends where we live now but not nearly as close as older friendships. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126828 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:06:08 +0000 lilteacherbee 126828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do now. I didn't for the longest time- I had close female friends, but never any I would call a "best friend." </p> <p>I met my best friend through DH's family. She started dating his cousin and they ended up getting married 2 weeks after us, so she's kinda my cousin (in law) now :) she has a 5 year old son and she's pregnant again, so I'm super excited that our kids will be cousins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126781 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:40:14 +0000 Running Elley 126781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is my best friend as well. My sister is also reallyyyyy close but not to the point where I'm at with DH and I'm okay with that. I have 2 other pretty close female friends but lives are busy and hard to stay at that "best friend" level. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126779 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:39:24 +0000 mrskc 126779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. We've been friends since elementary school. She's moving to Texas soon, so I'm not sure how that will affect our friendship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126761 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:35:30 +0000 Lozza 126761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if I tried to talk to DH about "everything" I would drive him crazy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126760 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:34:50 +0000 Lozza 126760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend is a guy. I have a close group of female friends (a group of six couples who are all friends, and I'm especially close to the girls), but I couldn't really pick out one of them as a best friend. They kind of collectively serve as a female best friend. Plus I'm really close to a group of girls at work, but there's not really one that stands out. When it comes to a single person that I spill all my secrets too and who knows me best, it's a guy.<br /> I don't really think of DH as a "friend" or "best friend." He's my husband, and it's just different. I don't really see his role as being that similar to that of my friends, and I rely on them for different things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126707 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:15:57 +0000 Adira 126707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. She's my best friend from college and I've known her longer than Hubs. I share almost EVERYTHING with her. Hubs is a pretty private person, so personal things relating to him, I don't share with her out of respect for him, but anything that has to do with ME, DEFINITELY. And if Hubs and I are fighting, he knows she's the one I'm going to be talking to about it, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126700 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:14:05 +0000 Alivoo01 126700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hubby is my #1 best friend, but I do have gf that I email every other day and tell her pretty much everything! She's more like an older sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126655 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:04:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 126655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. We met in the 9th grade. We talk over text almost everyday. My husband is my #1 friend though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126634 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:59:53 +0000 MamaMoose 126634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. We grew up across the street from each other. She's actually 9 years older than I am and babysat for me when I was little. She's really the only friend I have who has been a part of my life forever. It's awesome that she's older than me too because it's like having a best friend and a big sister all rolled into one. And she has two older sisters who are also like sisters to me so I'm really lucky.</p> <p>But we do live a loooong way away from each other and that's hard. Hubs is definitely my best friend locally : ) I do go to him with everything. But sometimes it's nice to have someone else to vent to when he's being annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126633 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:59:22 +0000 mrs. wagon 126633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up with 3 childhood female best friends, and we're still close. All of us are pretty bad at keeping in touch, but we all consider each other among our very closest friends. I also have a college roommate who was my MOH (the 3 childhood friends were my bridesmaids) but we are REALLY bad at keeping in touch. But I would consider them all my close girl friends.</p> <p>Since I have them, I find it really difficult to get close with other girls. There are definitely girls who have broken through and I consider them really good friends and love hanging out with them. But I think I'm pretty unapproachable in terms of friendship with other girls. </p> <p>Wagon Sr. is my best friend for sure. We tend to befriend other couples or single guys. I don't know what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126632 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:58:54 +0000 chopsuey 126632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is my best friend. My sister is a really close 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-female-best-friend#post-126630 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:55:34 +0000 regberadaisy 126630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. My husband IS my best friend. He's the one I tell everything to. The one that's ALWAYS there for me.</p> <p>I don't usually care about not having a female best friend. Overall, I can't stand females. We're too bitchy. :P<br /> I've had my fair share of "best friends" growing up but we always grow apart.</p> <p>Sometimes though I am a little sad that I don't have a "female" best friend.</p> <p>I have a really really good female friend. Her and her husband and my husband and I get along really really well. We always hang out, help each other out etc. She was MOH, she co-hosted my baby shower, etc etc But I think in the last year past the husbands have gotten closer while her and I are not as close anymore. I find it a little sad but whatcha gonna do. *shrugs*</p> <p>How about you? </p>
