How many "true" friends do you have in your life?

[IvanOffelitch]

Excluding your family/spouse/S.O.

Someone you could trust around your spouse/S.O. and know w/o a doubt that they'd never try any shit.

Someone you know w/o a doubt that you could trust with your life.

Someone you know you could trust with the very last penny you had to your name.

I have one...I consider myself lucky...or perhaps "blessed" would be a better term.

Describe your relationship with them?

My friend and I sound exactly like Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmons in the movie "Grumpy Old Men"...our phone conversations almost always start out with something along the lines of...

"What's up moron?"

"Not much, putz."

We've been best friends for over 25 years now. We've had one serious falling-out (over a girl back in high school no less...go figure) that lasted about 3 years.

I was with him the day his dad passed away.

I was with him in the hospital the night he nearly died in a motorcycle accident, and I was the only one there who would wipe the vomit off his chest when he got sick from all the meds the hospital had pumped into him.

We still argue from time to time. He can still be the biggest pain in the ass I've EVER known, but I wouldn't change a thing.

Your turn.

I have one and a half. I'll say a half on the later because we're kind of growing apart right now but I know if all hell broke loose she'd be there for me.

My husband is the best friend I've ever had and my brother in law is becoming the same. I'm not sure that my brother in law counts though as he's kind of family. I think it's very rare to find a group of 3 people who love being together-- where you can hang out and it's never like one person is left out.

Probably two.

Kids I grew up with. They understand where we came from. All with similar backgrounds and families.

Just 1 that I know I could call and he'd be on a flight out tomorrow if I needed him.

i have one possibly a second. the second guy i have know my whole life but he gets into some shady shit like drugs, trying to a thug. funny thing is he is the whitest person underneath it and is super rich. when he was 15 he got a brand new corvette. now he owns the corvette (2000), a 2002 escalade, and a 2005 H2.

the one friend that i could trust myself completly with is a guy i didn't like too much at first. he was so like me that he threatened my relationships with my other friends because they were beginning to like him more than me, because he was the newer version of me.

but after a while we begun to put up with each other and he threw great parties at his house when the parents were gone so i had to like him. time went on and i realized this guy is awesome and his heart always has good intentions for you. it's funny, we can go out to places, like a party and we will have a great time just hanging out with each other. we talk so much just we agree on so many things.

if i was in jail and i had no one to call i would call him (then my rich friend to post bail).
