What is difference between best friend and soulmate?

But once you find that one person -- the person you can trust with your life and all of your secrets -- that's when you truly know you have more than just a best friend; you have a soulmate. People think a soulmate refers to the person you marry and spend your life with.

The term "best friend" gets tossed around as frequently as the word "diet" — everyone says it, but seldom does anyone really mean it. But once you find that one person -- the person you can trust with your life and all of your secrets -- that's when you truly know you have more than just a best friend; you have a soulmate. People think a soulmate refers to the person you marry and spend your life with. But, in reality, your soulmate is the person who is an extension of yourself, the person you could never live without. Sure, those qualities may overlap with an intimate partner, but the bond that creates this lifelong friendship is simply unparalleled. At times, your relationship will be tested; you may fight, and you may have falling outs, but at the end of the day, you know this person will pick up the phone regardless of what your current situation is. This person is your ride-or-die, the one who will stand next to you at the altar and the one who has become a part of your family. This is your person, and the bond between the two of you can never be rivaled.

So how do you know if you're fortunate enough to have one of these amazing people in your life?

Well, your relationship probably looks a little something like this:

1. She's not feeding you bullsh*t; she's feeding you the truth.

2. She's not indulging your bad behaviors; she's actually saving you from them.

She's not telling you what you want to hear; she's telling you what you need to hear. 9. She's not judging your spending habits; she's just trying to make you more financially responsible.

10. She's not laughing at your jokes; she's making them with you.

11. She's not jealous of your new boyfriend; she just misses you.

12. She's not telling you to quit your job; she's trying to get you to recognize you need a better one. 13. She's not leaving you in the dark; she's making you her plus one. 14. She's not letting you off the hook; she's making you address your problems.

15. She's not stealing your contacts; she's sharing her Rolodex.

16. She's not trying to f*ck you over; she just loves f*cking with you.
