And, how did you get to know them? And how long did it take for you to think of them as your best friend?

Definitely my wife. She likes to remind me though that I shouldn't just rely on her, and should socialize more. When one's spouse dies, men tend to die quite quickly after their wife dies, because men aren't good at making new friends or keeping up with existing ones over time. Women tend to be much better at both of those. Kind of macabre, but she's not wrong.
