One is stationed in SC and the other lives in Tallahassee which isn't too far. They've been best friends for years, one of them he's known basically his whole life. They don't talk every single day but when they do it's for a while and they hang out a couple of times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1843051 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 17:18:33 +0000 lizzywiz 1843051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: join the club, although it looks like we are in the minority.</p> <p>Ya'll are just confirming my suspicion that a bromance for my SO would be nothing but great. Thing is, I think he is happy with the way things (he is such a homebody) but sometimes it is hard for me to fill that role. Or maybe I should say exhausting. It was easier before baby but now sometimes I am stretched too thin to want to watch youtube videos of gun tricks, ya know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1843041 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 16:58:12 +0000 charmed 1843041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has a couple close friends, and he became good friends with a few of my guy friends (he sees them more than I do now!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842955 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 13:57:51 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1842955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: No not at all. My DH is an introvert by nature so he rarely does anything outside of work and stuff with us so I think its great when he makes friends. His brothers (BIL) are much more outgoing so they can get drag him and get him to do more than I can at times. I like his co-worker and we have double dated a few times with him and his girlfriend</p> <p>At one point to bond more with my husband and his friend I started to play a game with them at night. I chat with his co-worker on the chat at times too and sometimes with my husband when they both are at work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842952 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 13:52:27 +0000 blackbird 1842952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, they've been besties since they were kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842905 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 12:41:19 +0000 Mrs tartan 1842905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of them, one who he sees fortnightly who lives about 29 mins away by car. The second lives a 2 hour car journey away and DH will go stay for the weekend with him once every 3 months or so. I think it's great for our relationship for him to go stay away for a weekend 4 times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842896 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 12:20:54 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1842896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we live in the same area my DH went to college so he has all his college buddies he has known for 10+ years then he is friends with all my best friends husbands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842893 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 12:16:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 1842893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he and his female best friend have been BFF for over 25 years! She's awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842873 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 11:52:07 +0000 chopsuey 1842873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He has a bff. We see him a few times a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842872 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 11:51:05 +0000 mrsjyw 1842872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep BFFs since hs. They're two peas in a pod and since we all stayed near our hometown they see each other often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842862 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 11:37:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1842862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: he does. We live in the same city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842860 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 11:31:28 +0000 loveisstrange 1842860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm.... Yeah, I guess so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842824 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 10:39:30 +0000 BananaPancakes 1842824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has a best friend from childhood, but they don't see each other much anymore. But he's got a ton of close friends and hangs out with the guys regularly. I think the fact that he's a big sportsman and golfer means he's doing group activities constantly. He makes friends easily because of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842814 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 10:28:38 +0000 snowjewelz 1842814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does have a few close friends... But he doesn't really hang out with anyone regularly. I would say his best buddy is me :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842812 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 10:19:40 +0000 yerpie110 1842812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: Honestly, DH has a lot of bromances so it seems like he's always texting, emailing, and even talking on the phone! I don't get irritated by the physical time with any of his guys because it's not too frequent (and usually LO and I are there to hang out with the wives and other kids), but I do get irritated with the time he spends on the phone around me, and I've had to put some limits down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842800 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:53:55 +0000 78h2o 1842800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He really only has one close male friend. I like when they spend time together, it makes my husband happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842796 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:49:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1842796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he has two really good friends from college. He makes friends pretty easily and has strong guy friendships he's developed in the last a couple years that stemmed from work.</p> <p>One of his best buddies and him are planning a trip to Atlanta to see Outkast's final concert together. There's another guy or two going as well. I think it's sweet what they consider male bonding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842794 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:47:45 +0000 stargal 1842794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I wish he did though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842790 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:43:34 +0000 Anagram 1842790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: my husband has a close group of guy friends, but we moved away 2 years ago. They are surprisingly good at keeping in touch, though--better than I am with my girl friends in our old city!</p> <p>He's actually on a 4 day hiking trip with them in Colorado right now. And they have another trip all together this next May. </p> <p>In our current city, he has coworker friendships and one that has also extended to a biking friendship. But I'm kinda glad he doesn't have more than that, because I feel like I need him home more often since he already works long hours and doesn't see LO as much as he'd like--so weekends are daddy/LO time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842784 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:15:57 +0000 lizzywiz 1842784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yerpie110: @Mrs. Chocolate: is it ever a bad thing? I mean, do you get irritated with the time they spend with them or whatever?</p> <p>Just curious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842781 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:09:55 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1842781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband basically has a best friend in a co-worker. They work together and then play video games together and chat at night when they do. </p> <p>He is also close to our BIL and his little brother </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842779 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:06:41 +0000 yerpie110 1842779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. They have been best friends since high school. We were in each other's weddings, vacation with him and his wife, have playdates with their daughter, and I "tolerate" the constant texting back and forth. He's actually here right now (his wife had a meeting and will be coming later), and I'm bored with all the fantasy football talk! So playing with the kiddies and on HB instead, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842772 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 08:58:58 +0000 lizzywiz 1842772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: does he live close enough that they can hang out?<br /> Who knows, maybe I would be jealous if he had a great friend I had to share him with, but from where I sit now I would LOVE for him to go hang out with a buddy.<br /> Like right now.<br /> Get out of my hair, love of my life, PLEASE, :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842742 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 08:20:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1842742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He has a best friend. They've been best friends since they were four. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-have-a-bestgood-friend#post-1842736 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 08:11:20 +0000 lizzywiz 1842736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If not, do you wish they did?</p> <p>I have been trying to stir up a bromance for my husband for a decade :silly: . He has long distance friends and work/ happy hour friends but not anybody he could hang out with on a regular basis.<br /> Seriously, I feel like it would be helpful to both of us if he had someone else to share his hobbies with. </p>
