My Husband is Not My Best Friend

My Facebook feed is awash in anniversary posts celebrating “my husband, my best friend!” and birthday pictures of spouses with hashtags like #BFF. These posts are sweet, but I can’t help feeling they don’t really apply to me.

My husband is not my best friend.

I have best friends. The friend I see when I feel a little down and want to hear her upbeat take on life. The friend in Israel I can call when it’s the middle of the night for me and I know she’ll be up. The friend I phone when I want to share the latest cute story about what my kids are up to. The friend I take classes with, whose thirst for spirituality is inspiring and has rubbed off on me. I can’t imagine living without any of these “BFs”.
