[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Adult life is about having acquaintances, not deep "best friend" type friendships.[/b] By the time you have your own family, that's where the focus is. It's nice to have a lot of acquaintances, though. What most people on this thread describe as not "real" friends seem like perfectly good friendships for an adult with a spouse and kids. "I have some other moms I'm friendly with and some people who I go to bookclub with or participate in the same hobby, we go on walks -- and yet they're not real friends." Yes they are. You need casual companionship and won't ever have a childhood or teen or college dorm type best friend again. If you did, that would be weird.[/quote]

What? Weird. My husband and I both have a best friend. I've known mine for almost 30 years. I do put time and effort into our relationship because we are busy (we both work full-time, both have two kids, and we live about 4 hours apart), but that's what friendships require. Of course I focus on my own family, as well as my husband, but that doesn't mean I can't also have a best friend! My parents were the same.[/quote]
