not to be a downer... but I know where I'd be, because there I am. (Wife left me) The positive note being that I had forgotten about the concept of "me". I would trade it in without thinking about it, but it's nice to be my own best friend...

Woweee....
I followed my wife here to North Carolina, where she went to grad school after we graduated from college. Where would I be without her? Not in this state, for sure. Not living in this gorgeous house, with these wonderful friends. Not living this life! When I think about it, SO much of my life looks like random coincidences, or opportunities that happened to come along that I took advantage of. If I hadn't been here in this state, I'd almost certainly not be in the field of work I'm in. I'd probably have gone home to Utah after college. Or found somewhere else I'd want to live. Maybe I'd be in San Francisco or New York or something.... No, probably not. I'd probably have taken the safe way out and gone home. |

Right here...but in a smaller house...with no kids or pets or mortgage...and with a lot more money and time...which I would spend desperately trying to hook up with a woman like my wife...to achieve the life I have now.
Whoa.

Well not be to a downer, but since I followed my girlfriend of 5 1/2 years up here to UT and now that she has left me. Well, i'm at UT..lol. Grasping the concept of there just being me is going slow, but I sure wish I was still with her no matter where she goes. I'm gonna have to download that song now. :-P

I don't know where I'd be without my wife... I know I wouldn't be in the job I have, I wouldn't have the kids I have or the house I have, etc.
I would most likely be a tenured professor or a two-bit actor in some small town. She motivates me to be the best I can be and supports me when I am feeling low. She challenges my beliefs and gives me reason to believe.

I'd be back in Chicago which would be great but I'd not have my best friend and the most beautiful woman I have ever seen so overall I'd probably be lonely and miserable. Though Chicago in spring is really nice....

Today is my anniversary, so I've been reflecting on this especially today. We met in highschool at 14 and by 16 we were inseparable. We knew when we were 16 we would get married some day. So today marks 12 years of being together, 3 of those "officially" married.
As young as we were, I have difficulty trying to imagine what life would have been like without him. We've always spent every possible moment together and most of my childhood memories are intertwined with his. For sure I wouldn't have gone to the college I went to or probably ever moved so far from home if it hadn't been for him. He taught me everything I know about standing up for myself and believing I was intelligent enough to get somewhere in this world. I can say with complete confidence that I wouldn't be the person I am today if it hadn't been for him. We have a wonderful life together. And best of all he thinks I'm the most beautiful woman in the world no matter how many times I tell him I'm not.  Man, I'm totally getting all watery-eyed here!!

I think in all seriousness I would be dead if I didn't have my husband by my side. He helps me and supports me and picks me up when I fall. He is the greatest. If it wasn't for him I would have killed myself a long time ago. He makes me believe in myself. I can do anything with him by my side.
Anyway, I have never heard the song so I think I will go and download it. |

Id probably by now be either dead or in prison from not caring about my life. The only thing really that was keeping from suicide Id say was fear of hell and well yep thats about it. Now I cant say that because I have a new reason to live with my SO in the picture I just dont know what Id do without her.

Like many others, I lost my SO and best friend a couple weeks ago. However, since this is sort of open ended as to what you'd do without your best friend, I'm going to answer it in terms of my best girl friend.
I've known the woman for 16 years. When we met, I was riding down the street with no shirt on. She thought I was a boy. (Easy kids, I was 3). She was raking leaves. From then on, we've been inseperable. I swear, she knows me better than I know myself. She knows what I want, knows what I need, and drives me further to achieve what I want to do. She'd had some really hard times in her life, struggling with clinical depression, but I like to think we got through it together and made our friendship even stronger. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a best friend like her, and I can safely say that we'll be friends for the rest of our lives. I love that girl |

I'd be in the same place... but on the inside I'd have a brittle heart. Where I'm heading to now is totally different than where I would be without her. I'd probably go for the money... instead I'm going for whatever gets me near her. Before meeting her I was very close to giving up on relationships all together, I was considering a life of solitude. A life of exile.
A huge difference between this affirming, beautiful, compassionate relationship and a life of exile. Such a wide gap that it is impossible to even imagine at this point...

probably homeless....my boyfriend moved out to be with me and provide me with security and someone to come home to every night. if it weren't for him, i would really truly be alone in this world. he's the only person who stuck by me after my family deserted me.

I couldnt even imagine where I would be without the love of my life....he is extremely special to me and I know I would go insane if he wasnt in my life or if something really tragic happened to him. Oiee...I dont even want to think about it...

It's by the beach boys, Denim. An oldie but a goodie! You've probably heard it before and just didn't know that's what it was called. It's very famous.
Oh and I just wanted to say- I hope all of you that are looking for love, find it! It's great to be a part of a team.

My best bud has helped me through countless low periods and stood by me no matter what. If it weren't for my best friend, I believe I would be currently in a mental institution somewhere being a total drain on this country. That, or a jailed stalker.
He is a rock to me, and I feel he feels the same way about me.

My best friend sort of "dumped" me about a month ago.
So now I sit here alone. And then I start thinking about that song, and it makes me sad. Man, that is a beautiful song.

I would probably be in the same town I'm in now. I wouldn't be as mature as I think I am now. We have gone through so much together that has made us stronger. I wouldn't have my little angel girl who is such a joy to us. I would probably be a prude. Serious prude! I was before I met him.
