I hold my husband to a higher standard than my friends. I know both my husband and my friends are always there for me as I am for them. I have their backs and they have always had mine. However, my husband is my life partner, we share our lives, our space, our dreams together.

I think that all relationships require work and compromises whether it be your intimate relationship or a friendship with your mate or best friends. I have had almost all of my girlfriends for 20+ years and my husband and I have been together for 18 years. I expect honesty and loyalty from all of them. That doesn't mean that I expect we agree on everything.
