[quote=Anonymous]I think these kinds of friendships are lovely when they occur. Good for them. But like other PPs, I've never had a friendship with that level of commitment and longevity. I have friends I've known for decades, but we fade in and out of each other's lives. It's very hard to imagine getting enough (support, attention, love, tolerance) from a friendship. It's also hard to get all of this from a romantic partner, and certainly hard to get it 100% of the time. But in my marriage, we've made a formal commitment to each other, and that really does help work through the hard times. With friends, you get in an argument, and sometimes you might night talk for months. Is that great? No, but it's what happens. If that was the central relationship in my life, I don't know what I'd do. I don't think I could deal with the uncertainty. Will she come back? Will we work this out? It just sounds like a lot to take on faith.[/quote]
