My BFF is H, we've been mates for 13 years. We've supported each other through everything - divorces, abusive relationships and worse. She drives me crazy at times but she's so loyal and always has my back. She's the one person I could tell anything 😚

I kinda have two best friends really.

Number 1: came in and out my everyday life in the space of 3 years. She moved to Scotland from the middle east, 3 years later her dad got a head teacher job as far in Scotland as you can go. Broke my heart. We love each other so very much, we're like sisters, the one person in life I know will always be with me. ALWAYS

Then there's my Glasgow college best friend, it's been 20 years. She feels like my other half. I never laugh as much as I do with her, a look or word is still all it takes. She would do anything for me and me her.

My BF is B. Our third died 6 years ago, so we adopted her DH.

We have been through thick and thin, currently very, very thin. We are all quite different, but they make me laugh til wee comes out. I do not know how I'd live without them. I must tell them that more often.

These are lovely to read. Sadly, my BF of 20 years has pretty much ditched me over the past 12 months. Seems to have lost all interest in being friends anymore and it hurts like hell.

She's a small, rare breed terrier, with the most beautiful face and friendy nature. Dozing next to me right now.

Dragonfire282 · 05/11/2021 21:24

wetotter 🥰 we are so lucky to have dogs in our lives, unconditional love right there. My boy would never ditch me.

My best friend is called Natalie and we met at uni. She is the love of my life even though we are both straight and happily married.

My best friend died unexpected earlier this year. I am lucky enough have another best friend and lots of close friends but I’ve lost my compass and grounding in life now she’s not here.

26 years of solid friendship.

BitterTits · 05/11/2021 21:39

Don't have one. I'm one of those people that don't fit in.

LittleMissPeggySue · 05/11/2021 21:49

My BF has been in my life for nearly 25 years. I'm constantly amazed at her ability to pick herself up and dust herself off and she's got balls of steel even if she doesn't think so herself. We've supported each other through thick and thin and been there for each other in the worst times. I'm so grateful to have her in my life.

RJnomore1 · 05/11/2021 21:53

My best friend is also H. She’s one of the kindest most switched on people in the world and believes in me totally. She likes me for me abd I don’t ever have to pretend.

We have been friends for st least 20 years. We don’t live in each other pockets but she doesn’t mind when I need space and I don’t know what I would do without her being around. Her health isn’t always great and it scares me. I’d Do anything for her and she’s one of the very few people I would ask for help.

I love her.

@Thefuturestory Thanks

It's like you lost your touchstone isn't it?

IamMummyhearmeROAR · 05/11/2021 23:00

My best friend is K. She is my sensible head when I can't figure life out, my sounding board and the Thelma to my Louise. She is fiercely loyal and doesn't judge me when I go awol for a few weeks. She's always there when I need her as I am for her. We met 11 years ago and my life is richer for having her in it.

My sister is my best friend. She is amazing and I love her so much!

We are different in lots of ways and seem to balance each other out perfectly. But our sense of humour is identical Grin.

We bickered and made up lots in our teens but haven’t had a crossed word since I was about 18 (despite speaking every day and seeing each other most weeks!). Other than my husband and son, she is the only person I could live with.

What a lovely thread 🥰😭

I’ve had a few besties over the years

One-I’d known since school-she knew all my secrets,we went through it all together and where like sisters

We drifted apart a few years ago

Two-an older lady who did so much for us

She never judged me,was my second mum,we could chat for hours and she died a few years ago

The world lost an amazing woman

Three-an amazing woman

We used to put the world to rights all the time

She was amazing when I had my babies-never told me what to do just simply mentioned how I would find it easier if I did it like this instead of that

Although I was 21 and she was 63 we really gelled-she would tell me to just let stuff go as it didn’t matter-and she was so right

She adored my kids-she was like a granny to them

I lost her friendship when her daughter beat me up and she took her side-I think she died a few years ago

My bestie at this moment is my partner

He’s always there for me,never judges,loves my madness,always supportive,makes me laugh,gives the best cuddles and I know for a fact if I rang him and said ‘I’ve just murdered someone’ his reaction would be ‘where do you want to bury the body?I’ll give you an alibi’

We joke we are a very small gang-just us

I met my best friend on my first day of university. She's a few years older than me and was a mature student; I was a mouse who had stayed at home because the boozy side of student life didn't appeal to me at all. She's the kindest, wisest, funniest person I know and she has been there for me so many times. She was here for my home birth - we'd arranged for her to look after our dogs and when I went into labour three weeks early she came running, and stayed the next day until I was confident breastfeeding, changing and bathing DS because I'd lost my mum and had no other family nearby. She's having an awful time at the moment and it's breaking my heart - she's just had year after year of crap and I would give anything for a magic wand to turn her life around.
