    Does my dog count???

    No seriously.. I have like three **tops and we never really see each other too much.

    I'm not a big people person.

    I have one, my husband. He's the only one I can truly rely on.

    I would say that I have more GOOD friends here than in real life. There are a few really close ones that live close.

    I don't have any in real life.

    I was married to my best friend and, although I still admire him as a person a lot, divorcing him (naturally) caused that to change.

    I am very fortunate to have a great support system on here (one or two who are especially awesome), which helps, and I am going to try to BE a better friend in real life going forward so that I can HAVE better friends.

    I would say three: I go to school with two of them and the third I met in middle school and even though he lives in another state, we still talk a lot :)

    1. My husband, of course. He is an amazing man that I can confide in.
    2. My best friend of 9 years, Britni. We met in undergrad, and she's awesome. She knows way too much about me, but unfortunately, she lives in Chicago, while I am in Miami :(
    3. My (local) best friend Holly, who is so awesome words cannot describe it.
    4. My contractor and very good friend Robert who always answers when I call about stupid house projects I do not know how to do. He's always honest with me about that stuff. His wife and daughter are really great people too.

    I only have one really, really good friend. I have others that I'm close to or hang out with occasionally, but I only have one best friend who I tell things to that I've never even told my own parents. She's like a sister to me and she is moving to San Diego for college in a few months. :(

    5 (including my sister). I'm blessed to say that I am 25 and have had the same friends since I was in elementary school.

    I only have person that I can count on right now (aside from my parents) and that is my husband. I used to have a really good friend who I didn't need to talk to everyday and we just got along, she was literally my other half. But I moved away after I got married and while we still talk there is just no way I can depend on her cause of the distance.

    2 really good ones that I could count on for anything, one pretty good one that would do most anything, and my boyfriend who I think would still help even if we weren't dating, but it's hard to say ;-p

    Hmm Definitely my husband...no matter how bad I eff up, he always is kind.

    My friend Heather, for sure. Jess, absolutely. Those two I know would drop everything if I truly needed them.

    I have a few other close friends but their lives are a bit dramatic and hectic.

    2. One I have known for over 15 years and another for about 4. I moved out of state so I don't get to talk to them as much as I used to but I know I can count on them whenever I need anything or just need to talk.

    I have one. He's been my best friend for 15+ years now. We talk about everything. We just have this connection, I can be thinking about him and he'll call or vice versa. I do have other friends, but no one a close as him.

    Let's see. Wife and daughters make 4. Among the dozens of people I ride with, work with play soccer with there are probably half a dozen more that I would trust with my Daughters and my Wife and my money or my life.
