When I have talked to people about platonic partnerships, people who have a friendship that goes well beyond even what a best friend is, I have been kind of shocked to find out how often people say, I have that, or I know someone who has it.

So I think people have an association with the term significant other and that they're thinking about a spouse or a romantic partner. And what I have found is that there are a lot of people who don't have a romantic partner or who don't only have a romantic partner as an extremely significant relationship in their lives.

A friendship can play as meaningful of a role in shaping people's lives as a romantic partner, even sort of rise to the level of being a partner like the person you would live with or raise kids with and make life decisions around.

Often enough that I have spent many hours talking to people who have these sorts of friendships and that I have experienced one in my own life. We don't really have great language for these friendships, so it makes it really hard to know how common they are. But it is really something I think that is hidden in plain sight that...

When I have talked to people about what I'm calling platonic partnerships, people who have a friendship that goes well beyond even what a best friend is, I have been kind of shocked to find out how often people say, I have that, or I had that, or I know someone who has it, that my aunt and her best friend lived next to each other for 30 years or whatever the case may be.

So I think it's more often than we probably think. We don't really know for sure because we don't have any stats on this. But I think regardless of how common it is for people to have these sorts of friendships, they're really worth looking at because they show us how much more we actually can ask of our friendships.
