From an article on meeting parents:
> SOs come and go; best friends and parents are for life.  

What if your best friend is your SO? 
I broke up with my SO about 2 months ago when she decided to start going
out with another person. I don't see her quite as much as I used to, but
I still enjoy a special relationship with her. We still are best
friends, sharing secrets and all the other silly things that best
friends do. In the mean time I have developed other relationships that
I never had before, but the point I am trying to make is that my ex-SO
was (and probably always will be) one of the best friends I ever had in
my whole life. 
Now for the sad part. In the past two or three months I have witnessed
several breakups. In about 90% of them there is no more contact between
the two people who were once so close. Is it really possible to break
off a relationship like that without remebering all the wonderful things
that happened between two people? Or is it that I'm expecting people to
develop something deeper than a mere physical attraction when they start
"going out"?
Obviously it's possible to continue a relationship after a relationship.
What I'd like to know is why it is so rare, and why people don't try to
do it more often.
