Your spouse is your best friend?!

Standard

Okay, this post might upset some people, just a warning.

It really irks me when people say that their spouse is their best friend. NO, they are your spouse! we know you spend a TON of time with them, likely more than anyone else, and we know you like them. That’s OBVIOUS. Please use the respective terms. 

On a sad note, if your spouse is also your best friend….that’s pretty sad. You have no other friends? .

I am not sure why our society promotes this as the ideal thing? To me, there should be a clear distinction between the two. I guess i get this pet peeve from my mum, who really hates it much more than I. 

Am I Crazy?
