When you and your best friend are actually a power couple

It’s really better if your boyfriend is your side bitch

The term “power couple” in the media refers to famous pairs like Barack and Michelle Obama, Jay Z and Beyoncé, Melinda and Bill Gates, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. This phrase is for some reason classically reserved for romantic relationships.

Here’s the definitive proof that it shouldn’t be.

People think it’s weird when they see one of you without the other

When your bestie goes home to visit family, people seem worried when they see you out Is without her. You may hear questions like, “Is everything OK?”, “Is she sick?”, or “Did something happen?”

You always keep in contact over Skype during those twilight zone moments where you actually are apart

You plan every vacation together

Whether it’s Spring Break in Puerto Rico, summer in India, birthday weekend in Las Vegas, or Thanksgiving in Miami, you have the next year’s vacations planned already. It doesn’t matter where you go as long as you’re together.

Messages to your boyfriend look like this

While messages with your best friend look like this

If for April Fools you announce that you two have started dating, everyone believes it

Somehow everyone forgot what day it was when they saw the post because they’re so excited that you two are finally in a romantic relationship.

Your fashion taste is unique but complementary

Before going out you text each other to discuss what you’re going to wear. If there’s a formal event, you make sure that your dresses won’t clash.

You experience life to the fullest together

You may get naked in the rain forest just for the fun of it.

You dgaf if people don’t understand your friendship

At the end of the day, you are both lucky to be in each other’s lives. You build each other up, you encourage one another’s dreams, you are both a shoulder to cry on, you are adventure partner’s for life, you are a best friend power couple.
