Being so comfortable with them that you're perfectly happy to be each other's tedious norm until the day one of you drops dead.
Dude, how to describe my life. Linda and I have been together since Christmas, 1979. We're both 55 (her in a few months), out of shape, health issues, extreme life stress between work and family, and would lovingly strangle each other to death on any given day.

Yet you couldn't pry us apart with a thousand crow bars. We're best friends like you wouldn't believe. Can make each other laugh to the point of pissing. And we've shared so much over the course of our time together that it's ridiculous. I simply can not imagine a life without her, and I'm sure she feels the same way.

Well, I hope she does....
