[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the phrase "marrying my best friend" gag inducing.  It is right there along with "the love of my live" and the "the right one."

Marriage is not a friendship it is a committed relationship which has some elements of friendship, but also elements of intimacy that are well beyond that of a friendship.

I feel sorry for people who think they are married to their best friend.  It sounds a little creepy to me.

I'm sorry that your relationship with your spouse isn't as deep. DH is my best friend and the love of my life.[b] I realize as I get older how rare this truly is, even amongst my friends who are still in love with their spouses. [/b][/quote]

You just made her gag again (me too).[/quote]

Me three.  Why can't people love their spouses and be happy in their marriage.  It is a spouse, not a friend; it is a marriage, not a friendship.  Best friend, love of my life, and similar phrases sound as if they were ripped from the pages of a bodice ripper or a soap opera.   I guess my question is if your marriage ends, did you lose a friend or a spouse.  Did you end a marriage or a friendship.   Marriage is at a higher level than friendship, and if you wish to use cutesy names to describe your marriage, so be it. [/quote]

My spouse is my friend. I'm not getting what is so hard  to understand about that or so offensive?
If our marriage ended for whatever reason I would lose both.

Well, the whole idea that your marriage and your love is better than someone else's is really nauseating.[/quote]

That - that's offensive.
And there are many challenges in a long life together. If you haven't had any ' face down flat on the floor I don't think I'll get up for a few days ' challenges as of yet where your live isn't sickeningly sweet and close I would say that you haven't much lived yet.[/quote]

I'm sorry you're hurting right now PP and mybe you're going through a rough patch in your marriage, and I honestly hope things work out and you feel better. But whatever struggles you are having doesn't give you the right to  be  nasty to others and crap on their feelings and marriages to make you feel better.[/quote]

Um, no, no rough patch, no hurting - you're just an idiot![/quote]

Like this, right? Though ironically he lost his spouse so there's no marriage to offer comfort, but still, challenging times.

PP who thinks that her marriage is the best thing compared to everyone else's - are you really married or is this a high school relationship?
Or, maybe married for two years? How old are you?[/quote]

Where the hell did I say my marriage was better than everyone else's? No one has said that. You and  another poster are just out to be nasty who doesn't  suscribe to your narrow definition of spouse and friendship.

I shouldn't have to defend myself to you but here it goes.
We're well past high school.
We've been married for 7 years.
In that time we've face him losing his parents back to back   a sibling, a nearly fatal car accident for  him, a health scare for me, infertility, and a stillborn child. And you know the regular stuff unemployment , moving states, parenting etc.
We have other friends outside of the relationship, but he is my best friend.  No comparison. He's my sweetheart
If that offends you too fucking bad.[/quote]
