Just wondering because i never seem to be able to hold one close friend besides my boyfriend who i've been with for years.
I wouldn't advocate allowing all your emotional eggs to be in one basket. Imagine if something goes wrong in your relationship with him; then what will you do? If you can broaden the number of people you have as close friends, that is a good thing.
Ask yourself why you can't hold on to any other close friends. What is stopping you? Is it something you're doing, something they're doing? Just coincidence? I don't think it's a good sign to not be able to hold onto close friends. Although I can hardly help you since my history is similar when it comes to best friends, so sorry :P
I think it's normal, but possibly not a healthy situation. If you can find a way to rectify it, I think you should.
Depending on your situation that might be fine. I'm the same way. I find myself constantly vetting anyone in my social circle. Everyone is driven by internal needs so I make sure they are noted. Divide the trust and always leave them in the dark on some aspect. Frauds expose themselves.
The women in my life have always been carefully chosen. They see the scope of my life and experiences. You might be naturally aware of people or life experience ingrained this trait. Just make sure it does not deprive your life of joy.
