Is your partner your best friend too? Or should they? In my case, they are 2 different people and it’s hard to manage their expectations

My partner has become my best friend but I will continue to call my childhood best friend my best friend because why not.

You can have multiple best friends… personally I wouldn’t have a partner who wasn’t a best friend but people certainly do. Depends what you want out of a partnership.

Woman approaching 40, dated once, LTR once and heartbroken by 32 as I found the man in LTR was cheating on me. Shut my heart completely to ensure never give anyone the power to hurt me.

I just wish I had someone to plant a good morning kiss, like simple things in life. Hard to share these feelings, hence confessing

I have kind of a weird relationship with my extended family. I have an aunt and cousin who moved away when I was pretty young so despite being the same age, me and my cousin were never close. Now, we're both getting married and my aunt seems to be of the opinion that the two of us need to be big parts of each other's weddings. Neither of us can seem to figure out how to explain this to her and I know it's gonna be an issue over the holidays. Any advice?

My number one insecurity is how alone I am.
I don't have family. I don't have close friends anymore after I finally stood up for myself and cut off the toxic ones. I'm also single.

I don't like being alone but it's hard to find a true friend or S/O I truly love. So it's hurts a lot when people ask me "who are your friends, even" or "what are you doing for the holidays with your family"? I feel pathetic even though I know I did nothing wrong...

Have you ever represented family? Obviously not for actual work but outside of it? My almost brother in law could use a little legal help and asked me if I had extra time. I do, and the issue isn't a big one (settling things with his ex-wife) but is this dangerous territory to be walking into? I've heard things can get sticky if you rep family.
