I value myself so if your around me there comes a great love. I think calling people best friend is limiting to just being.

A lot of people's so called tight circles or friends are not really their friends
Stick a recorder in your "friends" homes to hear how little they care about you
Knowing how people act in real life these circles are just groups of people familiar with each other using each other as pawns for their own FOMO
They stick together because that's all they know
Then when anyone passes their place in the circle there is a problem
A tight circle can be a good or bad thing depending on your circle
But you have no control over whether someone wants to remain friends if they make the decision not to remain friends
A lot of these circles are the above statement mentally but fear of loneliness keeps it together
The amount of lifelong friends, best friends, brothers etc. I've heard talking shyt about each other placing everyone in hierarchies fukk outta here :mjlol:
hanging out for convenience not friendship

No, that doesn't work like that. A partner is not a friend.

Think about just one small example. Say you want to quit your job to pursue your life dream. Maybe you always wanted to travel the world. You tell your friend about your plan. He will support you one hundred percent. Go do what makes you happy, he'll say. Work and money can always wait.

Now go tell your woman the same thing, she will be liable to murder you. How dare you quit your job, sacrifice financial stability, give up your career, to follow your stupid life dream, she will demand. What about me, what about us? You're so selfish, etc. She will fight you every step of the way.

This is not because women are bad or anything like that. That's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is that your relationship partner will never be your friend, because a relationship is not a friendship. You can walk out of your friends life anytime and walk straight back in when you please. As long as you explain to them before you leave that you are going to pursue your life dream, your friend will be fine. They'll support you even.

You can't do that with your relationship partner. A relationship is never about you, what's best for you, what makes you happy. Instead it's always about us, what's best for us. And that means compromise.
:heh:

Tell us him many relationships you’ve been a part of. This bullchit you just typed.

Quality friends are hard to come by.

the problem for me has been that my family is so
Solid and great, quite frankly, never needed too many outside friends. My fam got all types. And all
Professions

i can say i have one homey and one homegirl who are my “ call at 3am for bail money” type.

sadly my best men at my wedding will
Mostly be cousins and uncles.




Nothing sad about this at all, bro. I feel the same way.

I have very high standards for friendship and thus I mainly consider close family my friends because other ppl can't live up to my standards.

A lot of users and goofy negroes out here that I just don't want to be affiliated with.

This is why so many relationships fail. If your girl is your best friend you won't have anyone to really help you get over it that ain't family.

Men and women put too many roles on their respective partner and eventually it gets too much. The pressure is stifling and ruins the relationship
Help you get over what?

If you trust someone enough to be your spouse why couldn't you feel that that's your best friend. If you can't lable your spouse as your best friend that shouldn't be your spouse... And I'm not talking about someone you're dating or been with for a few months bc that's not a spouse yet.

Do you need to be a physicist to know that if you throw something at the sky, it will fall back down? No. It's a fact of life.

You don't need to be a genius to know how important money and financial stability is to women. Everybody knows that. It's a fact of life that you can't hold a woman down if you don't bring that to the table. A friend on the other hand could give two fukks about what you make and where you work at.

Just a couple of weeks ago a guy I know got dumped by his woman after she got a new, better job. She dumped him because, quote, "you aren't good enough for me anymore." Dude was shattered about it. He left his kids behind with his ex-wife in a different state to be with her (she was also a divorced mother). They're 40 and 36 respectively, so they're not young either. He thought that their shared experience of being divorcees with children and with awful ex-spouses was an unbreakable bond between them. He thought wrong. As soon as she started getting close to six figures, she immediately decided that she couldn't be seen with a guy who drives a bus for a living anymore. Never mind that she had been divorced twice and that this guy, though he doesn't have a great job, was by far her longest relationship and by far the best father figure her daughter had ever had. It was all about money to her. You call that friendship?

There isn't a man alive who hasn't heard that story being told on many occasions by another at the least. Many would have experienced it themselves.
