Mel Greig: I want to marry my best friend
After my failed marriage, I spent a lot of time thinking about what went wrong, and apart from the whole putting-his-willy-in-other-places situation, there was a lot of stuff that didn’t ever match up.
If you sit back and ask yourself ‘What do I want in a perfect marriage?’ we only ticked half of each other’s boxes. At the time that was enough, but now?

It got me to thinking that 90 percent of the things I want in a marriage, I already have with my best friend.
My best friend completes me on every level, which is rare because you normally have the friend that makes you laugh, the one who picks you up from the park drunk in the middle of the night, the one who loves a deep and meaningful, the one who loves a good bitch session over wine.
But what if you have a friend that gives you all the things you’ve wanted in a man? I’m thinking:
To have conversations on any level
To sleep in the same bed together without kicking each other
To talk for hours on the phone without wanting to hang up
To laugh until we pee
Unconditional love where you would do anything for them and without judgement
To inspire you
To send you messages reminding you YOU’VE GOT THIS
You miss them so much you must text them every day if you haven’t spoken on the phone
To have passionate discussions without arguing
To holiday with each other and enjoy all the same things
To know you can be honest with them and trust them unconditionally
Is that not a perfect relationship?
Of course, there is still the 10 percent that’s missing from the 90 percent of boxes ticked and it’s an important one, but it’s ok I have a solution.
Obviously you aren’t going to get intimate with your best friend because as much as you love each other, you still see that as crossing the friendship boundaries.
So, what if we marry our best friends and just date on the side? I’m actually being half serious. My best friend is my soul mate and I know she’ll be in my life forever. Is this a possible scenario? Could we get married and then get some on the side? Think about how much easier our lives would be.
Or do we trust that we both have someone out there that will tick all of our boxes?
Regardless, one thing is for sure. Whoever enters our lives will have to get used to there being a third wheel situation and not a ‘I’m dating twins and they both want to be with me kind of way’ or ‘Why is Mel sitting at the end of the bed watching us again scenario’.
Our friendship is just as important as any relationship and it is un-divorcable.
So who else wants to marry their best friend?
