[QUOTE="Ravirr"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] How is it different than being the closest of friends...honestly asking your opinion (not arguing)rawsavon
For me, I tend to get closer with my partner on an emotional level than I do with close friends. I can be rather reclusive in expressing emotions, feelings, fears and desires. I feel like I can depend on my partner more than a close friend and they tend to offer me more emotional support.
Also, a guy can only complain so much to his friends before they tell him to STFU, but a gf has to listen :P
Not knowing you at all, mind you...it sounds like you lack that close relationship with other males... -you can have those types of relationships with either sex...but usually only get the physical intimacy from one gender...usuallyI know, my closest friend is a male, but its just different for me when I am in the relationship status with someone. Either I am more open to accept critism or support from them. I haven't dived into enough psyc to really deceided why I am this way. Hopefully when I start doing psyc nursing I can figure it out. But until then I tend to get much closer to significant others than to just friends. Though, one thought i do have about this issue is I did tend to move around a lot as a child (Father was in the Navy) so I would have friendships that last a year. So I never had one good friend, I would live somewhere for a year and leave. This happened up until high school. Then my first close friendship in high school turned into a relationship. A possible explanation, but thats enough of diving in my psyce for today :P
