How well do you know your best friend? Does she confides on you to all her problems? Or have you experienced betrayal, or even stabbing you from you back? Do you really know the person you share your life with?

I think for the most part I try and have a good relationship with my spouse, and my friends. We all are imperfect and definitely rub each other the wrong way but a relationship can endure these hard times. I hope that things will improve in your relationship if things aren't going well. Those times are really difficult and it almost seems as if there isn't any hope. But don't give up if your relationship is very important to you.

So true.. each person has its own imperfection..its just a matter of who sticks with you during your imperfections.. i hope too that each relationship you'll have, may it be best friend, spouse will be smooth and worry free

I agree with you that those individuals who are there for us when we need them are a true source of support. We are able to endure a lot more when we know that there are people who genuinely care about us. I too hope that my friendships will continue to grow and get stronger over the years.

I may say yes. I am a guy and have a guy friend who's really close and whom I trust a lot. And he reciprocates the friendship with trust and respect for me. He has a girlfriend, and shares with me everything even though his girl asks him not to. And I respect that, and I help him the way I can. Even otherwise if he has a problem, he tells me and if I do, well I don't tell him and keep it to myself, but you got the point right?

Yes, It's good that you have someone you can rely on.. and Knowing that you're very close is nice.. I thought some guys don't tell their problems to others and just keep it to themselves.. I was wrong.. I guess some guys are just open to whatever problems come their way and tell their friends about it..

Well, you are wrong there. I don't tell my problems to friends, I have many but not all are worth. I tell them to my closest who have been through life, or as you said thick and thin.

I had been burnt by a best friend years ago and since then I prefer not to have a best friend, I prefer to have many close friends but I never share secrets or anything like that, I feel human nature is too complicated and best to keep a lot to yourself.

It's true..sometimes or even most of the time your best friend can be your worst enemy. you give them the trust but all of a sudden they will just destroy it.. It happened to me also long time ago.. that's why It became really hard for me to trust someone..:)

My best friend (BFF) lives with her family in Oklahoma. I have known her for fourty five years. We lived together for awhile and I think I know her quite well. She is always stead fast and true. My last husband was a good friend but had a very strong head. Not easy to live with at all. No betrayal.

In our time today it is really difficult to find a true bestfriend that will stay with you through your up and downs.Some not all only try to make friends with you because they can get something from you and if your not useful anymore then you will be dump like a trash( so sad) As a piece of advice, it is better for you to put limitations on the things that you are going to share with your bestfriend.
