The best thing to ever happen is when your best friend is your lover or vice versa.there is no love when you donot understand the feelings deep down in them and if you aint friends with the person you can never know the person..so i believe there is no point setting priorities and weighing between a friend and love.

I agree with you 100% My one true love is my everything. Friends can stab you in the back at any time, and I KNOW my husband won't. With that being said, my husband comes first before friends.

Hi! I feel, you cannot compare the both. Both are special and indispensable. We have learn to balance the two relationships. I think, true friend or true love understands the need to the other one in our life and they give space. Thanks.

If you are in a relationship, you must prioritize your bf or your gf since you are in a commitment. Your friends must understand that you now have another priority. I love my friends but if I am in a relationship, I see to it that they would know who I am committed to for the moment or I would introduce my guy to my friends and even hangout together with my friends. Some of my bfs are my friends, and until now that the relationship is over, we remain friends. I think it all depends on how you handle things.

I cannot choose as my best friend and my lover mean the world to me. I have been best friends with my friend for 11 years now and we have been through so much together and she has never once let me down. Whilst I have been with my partner for 16 months, who I love very much, he is also my friend, I can communicate really well with him. I would not like to choose between the two and there is no reason why anyone would have to choose between their friend or lover.

thanks for the respond. but it's confusing me, your friend is "she" and your partner (means lover?) is "he"...??? ok I understand gender is not the problem here, thanks again for the thought ;-)

Look both the friend and the lover has its own importance in your life. You cant live without any of them. So never try to prioritize between them. But the question is then there may be some situation in life when you need to decide which side you will take, friend's or lover's. In that situation I will tell you to take the decesion based on the situation and not based on the priority. Because yo know true friends and true lover are both precious and it is really hard to find nowadays.

It seems that in most of the best marriages and long term relationships both parties consider themselves "best friends" as well as lovers, so I think they often go hand in hand. However, in the case of just a "lover" as opposed to a lifelong partner, I'd put my friend first, if that makes any sense. It depends entirely on the individual relationship and the commitment, if any, involved. Annie

It really depends on the situation. LOL!! I think that your friends will always be there for you and lovers they tend to come and go. I'm not saying automatically chose your friends over your lover but look into the situation and see who would be the most appropriate to chose.

which come first? for me ... it's friend. friendship is important for me. lover is another. because sometimes some people just can't make friends with their lovers. but a lover that can become a friend at the same time, it will be great. when the charm and passion have gone, for example both of you and your love become old, your friendship with your lover will still support a last long relationship. so .... friend comes first. it's no use if we can't make friends with our lover. well, just my opinion. :)

hi anotherbirthday! is it your bday? lol. anyways, in my case i choose my significant other over my friend sometimes. I know its kinda unfair for my friends but over the years, i have proven the loyalty and concern that my significant other has for me. My friends sometimes tends to forget about how i feel but my significant other is always there to ask if im doing good or why am i sad and stuff like that.my significant other has been my bestest friend so i love spending time with him. -)

it depends.. it's a case to case basis.. but i every time im going to choose, i choose the one that needed to be prioritized first.. you can choosy your friends if they are the one you need to save, and you need to choose your love if you need him/her to prioritize..

Hi, I am divorced and newly married again. (So that you know a lover CAN stab you in the back.. They aren't sposed to, but they can.) So now I will answer your questions. My new husband is my priority. Family (Dad, aunts, cousins)next, friends after that. I love my friends, I'm in love with my husband. And my husband is my best guy friend. B

I have a friend, he is my best friend. I think I could love my friend, but I can't be her friend if I love him because it will cause me a lot of pain and suffering if he loves another girl. I think Friend comes first.
