Lover and/or Best Friend?

Elspode · 12-07-2008, 04:36 PM

I think that lovers certainly need to have elements of best friendship in their relationship in order for that relationship to prosper. Best friendship entails so many things - common interests, trust, innate understanding about how the other person works - things that are so indispensable in a satisfying and successful love relationship. But in my world, best friendship often entails acceptance and pursuit of any number of things that just wouldn't fly in my love relationships.

So...no, I don't think you *have* to be best friends to be successful lovers/partners. I think it might be awesome, though.
