Yes.  Married 38 years.  My present to her for our anniversary was a new 16" AR15 carbine.

She likes my car.  She likes the dogs I pick out.  

We just don't get to spend enough time together these days.

I learned a long time ago that I am my own best friend and the best sex I will ever have is with myself.

Why are you not still married then?  Don't mean to pry, but that seems very odd to me.

There's an old saying: "All skill is in vain, if an angel decides to pee in the touch-hole of your musket."  Substitute "love" for "skill" and you pretty much have the big picture.  The details are a long story.

The simple answer would be yes but the word friend doesn't really seem to do what we have justice.

That's a hard dynamic to wrap my head around.  I can understand being friends with an ex and even being really good friends with an ex, but if you're not better friends with your husband than your ex, that doesn't seem healthy.

I love my husband because he has a kind and gentle heart.  My ex-husband is my best friend because he doesn't.

Absolutely. We love shopping together, even if it's for something one of us isn't interest in.  She'll go shoot with me even though I know she'd rather be doing something else.  I wish I could win the lottery so I could spend more time with her.  She's a great woman who I'm lucky to be with.

Sounds like our marriage, she shoots or watches me shoot, I know she would rather do something else. That speaks volumes.

I am at the age that I left my 70+K a year gig, and looking for part-time work so she and I  can spend more time together, she is retired.

And yes, she is my best friend.

No.  She leans left in politics and thinks the government should help people.  We are in our early forties and she must be experiencing changes because she is a super bitch at least half the time.  When she is normal, things are great.

Late night antics ruin that?

Mine has known me since I was six, and surprisingly, still loves me.

It's surprising because I'm an asshole.

Get her to go see an endocrinologist.

My wife was experiencing the same thing, turns out that she was in the early stages of menopause and her hormone levels were spiking and plummeting.  Got some hormone replacement stuff, and back to normal.

I wouldn't think it, because she doesn't wanna drink beer and shoot stuff kind of friend...



... But she is the only person I wanna hang out with all the time.  Some times I dread going out and having dinner with other friends.  Can we just have a night at home?
