Hey Coco,Your post reminded me of my own great luck. After 12 years together, whenever we fall into a funk or get too angry, I remind myself that my husband is first my partner and best friend. He’s a damn good guy.
It’s so much easier to relate to him and feel compassion for him when I change my point of view from lover/husband and all the shoulds that implies.
cheers, bllu
Happily ever after doesn’t exist but love does and for a girl with a cayenne heart…hmmm, I am thinking that life with out passion and wild deeply felt love – to go with friendship, might just not be enough!
Tried the “happily ever after” thing and it ended rather sadly (though, for the 32 years it lasted, it was worth it). There is no true love without true friendship.
A best friend as a lover is Happlly ever after. What a ride that is. I don’t see it as just challange free. I believe the best friend lover is anything but challenge free. Treat them like a best friend too and whoaaaaa.
Exactly. Uh, I feel like I should have a longer comment, like that isn’t enough, but all my possible responses just keep spinning back to “this is perfect, and exactly how I feel” Oh look, the comment got longer.

Very sweet.
Somewhat sad yet sweet … Thanks for the smile and the thoughts your post provoked!
But, when you get all three…Bingo!
Being married is like having a sleep over with your best friend every night of the week. I know
This is basically exactly what I was thinking tonight.

Yes, yes, so true! I love this.
Simple and true!
True love – looking after someone even though you’re angry with them.
Enjoy
Wise.

Haha! I would like to have both love and friendship
I think I know you. Do I know you?
The phrase happily ever after comes from old folk tales, not from reality.
Love it. Posted it on the Facebook page of my best friend, who I am lucky enough to call my wife.

Kip, you are a dear heart to me, I am sorry it didn’t end happily. glad though it was worth it
I guess you actually could say it ended happily. I’m happy, she’s happy, we’re just not happy together
I appreciate the thought, dearest friend.
