If you were forced to choose between your partner that you love and your best friend, who would you pick and why?

2. My partner. We spend a lot of time together. We cook, we go out, we do a lot together.

   If I had to choose between one of them and I chose my best friend, we would just sit on discord day in and day out. He never wants to go out, never to the pub. Nothing.

3. My best friend, he’s been there though thick and thin.

   Relationship can be toxic, but your best friend is
   Your best friend for a reason.

4. My wife, she is my best friend.

5. Jokes on you, they’re the same!

6. If either were true friends, you’d never be forced to make that decision. Mine are the same person tho.

7. This happened with me in high school. My girlfriend at the time asked me to choose between her and my best friend. I valued both of them and couldn’t make a choice. Ended up losing both after that for a good few years before maturing and reuniting later. The girlfriend is now like an acquaintance. The best friend is getting married later this month and I am so looking forward to it!

8. Women come and go. My bro has had my back for 30 years, put himself in harm’s way to save my ass more than once.

   I may love her, but I sure as shit won’t do anything for her. I won’t burn my family, which he is.

9. it depends entirely on the situation. Is one being stupid? Is it a life or death scenario? Are we just talking about who to have a drink with tonight?

10. So basically you’d be describing a girlfriend in that case since I’d say both

11. Probably my Best friend, I don’t see how this conflict could be his fault

12. Depends. Which one of the two is a multi-millionaire, and is that multi-millionaire willing to buy and pay off a few houses and get my name in the house’s deed?

13. My partners been next to me for 17 years, she wins.

    Plus she really is my best friend

14. Who is forcing the choice, and why?

15. My best friend and I are a package deal. You can’t date one without the other’s approval and you will *never* come between us. We will choose each other every. single. time. We’ve saved each others’ lives multiple times over. I’m not giving up that bond for anything.

16. Whoever treats me better. In healthy relationships this ultimatum wouldnt happen.

17. My best friend no matter what. I can always get a new lover.

18. Jokes on you, don’t have either

19. My partner is my best friend

20. Without a second of thought best friend. I’ve known my two best friends for half my life now, and would never give that up for a woman. There are plenty of other women out there who won’t make me choose. Even if it’s like a life and death thing, not her making me choose, and I had to choose who to save to and who to die, unfortunately I’d pick my buddy every time.

21. In the eternal words of man law: bros before hoes.

22. My wife is my best friend. Duh

23. You mean in a life or death scenario? Couldn’t answer that. Either option would probably send me to the grave shortly after.

    But in matters of trust, I’d choose my best friend. He’s always been there, honest to me, and had my best interests in mind. An SO that I love, however, doesn’t necessarily even love me back, let alone in the same capacity.

24. Ha! Easy, I don’t have either. So any and all answers are valid.

25. They’re the same person.
