Is it weird if your spouse isn't your best friend?

Roomates

My hubby and I are best friends, and started out that way 35 years ago. We've had our fair share of breaks and serious problems but we've managed to get through them by learning to improve our communication.

I think if your spouse is your best friend then your marriage has a good chance of surviving till natural death.

But weird?
Yes, it is - in the sense of not normal.
Since 2 out of 3 marriages end in divorce, it's fair to say that failure is the norm.

I think it would be weird if your spouse wasn't one of your best friends.

In my mind, possibly the majority of best friends are of the same sex as yourself.

But I would think that your spouse should be your best friend of their sex.

I am speaking from my bias of heterosexual relationships.

I'd be interested in what people in a same sex relationship think.

I'd hate that honestly

It would be for me. I want a shared life, to know and known fully is the greatest opportunity to be loved completely.
But people are different, that's fine.

I don't think it's so weird. I think your best friend is who knows all your secrets, not necessarily who you married.

No, not at all. At the same time, I believe you can have more than one best friend, including your spouse.

I guess. But I’m not sure. I don’t have a best friend. But my wife may be that best friend.

I think that's rather common, especially for women.

No, it is that way sometimes.

Probably but I'm used to it by now...

It's traditional.

Very weird

Yes

Kinda

yes

They always should be

You can have a spouse and a best friend. I think you should be very close with your spouse though

Yes

Kind of, y'all should be close
