No matter what. No questions asked. Whether they agree with you or not, they don't walk away from you when you're broken. They fight with you and for you.
Going out can be fun, but it's definitely not as fun as just relaxing at home with your significant other, especially if they double as your best friend.
A simple look serves as a solid form of communication. Add some facial expressions, and you definitely know what the other is thinking.
It sounds so cliché, but you're on the same wavelength. Sometimes it seems you share a brain. Others may think it's creepy, but it's cool and convenient when dealing with everyday life.
If your significant other is also your best friend, you probably burst into fits of laughter when no one else knows what's so funny. Don't bother trying to explain. They just wouldn't get it!
The key word here is trying! No matter how many times you say "I'm fine," they can see right through you. They know when you're a little "off" and have no problem calling you out on it. Even if you want to shut down, they insist on you spilling what's bothering you so they can help fix it.
You're so connected that it would take more effort to give up on each other than stay together. They know everything about you and still love you despite your mistakes. You literally can't imagine your life without them.
You know the consequences of watching your weekly shows without them. Even if you snuck in that episode of Game of Thrones while they were sleeping, you better pretend it's the first time you're seeing it.
You immediately dial your lover with your good and bad news. Only your best friend could understand your level of excitement or disappointment over the successes and failures of life.
When your partner is your best friend, you go to them about everything. Where others would tune you out, you know they're listening intently and ready to offer great advice.
From wardrobe choices to tips on how to deal with your annoying coworker, you always go to your significant other for advice when they're your best friend. You value their opinion about everything in your life.
Maybe it's because you spend so much time together. Maybe it's because you pour your souls out to one another. Whatever the reason, you know more about your significant other than anyone else in the world does and vice versa.
The best feeling in the world is being with someone who you can be your true self around. When your significant other is your best friend, they accept you without judgment. No matter how crazy or weird you are, they embrace it.
Of course, they have to go to work. But when they do, you sincerely miss them. You can't help but watch the clock until the workday is over and they walk through the door.
They know when your sister's comments hurt your feelings. They can tell you're holding back tears during that family debate. Whatever bothers you (physically or emotionally), they're there to defend your honor.
Many childhood friends grow apart eventually. But just because you don't see your childhood bestie as much doesn't mean you need to sacrifice the things you enjoyed doing together. Your significant other is definitely your best friend if they start to step in on those activities you thought no one else could enjoy with you.
Whether you're lounging on the couch or sitting outside in the sun, you can totally get some R&R with your SO. There's just something even more relaxing about having them close by.
No matter what's going on in your life, you know you can count on them. When your significant other is also your best friend, you never question their loyalty to you.
Arguments are inevitable, but when your significant other is your best friend, they don't last. You look for a solution rather than abandoning your relationship. Most of the time, you can't even remember what you were fighting about.
Even if others think you're crazy, you find ways to make your own fun. You genuinely enjoy each other's company and never get bored when the two of you are together.
Even if you fall flat on your face, you can guarantee they'll be somewhere close by cheering! They get more excited about your accomplishments than you do. They encourage you more than anyone else to keep going when you fail.
They might have fallen in love with you at your best, but no one has seen you at your worst like they have. And they're totally OK with it. Whether you're dripping in sweat or rolling out of bed, you don't care how you look in front of them. You know they love you no matter what.
Life is filled with ups and downs, but you need someone in life who can bring you joy in the darkest of times. Your significant other knows how to cheer you up and make you laugh when the last thing you want to do is smile. During your most miserable days, they bring you back to life. That's what best friends do!
