Divorced Best Friends Say They Don’t Need Men To Be Happy- Are Platonic Life Partners
By Fox News
Two female best friends who describe themselves as “platonic life partners” are living together after they were each divorced from previous partners — and they claim that “you don’t need a man to be happy,” according to SWNS.
Marissa Baker, 30, and Patty Kulak, 27, have declared they are “platonic soulmates” and will be in each other’s lives forever.
The pair reportedly met on Jan. 1, 2021, at a birthday party.
In May of that year, with both women separated from their husbands, they decided to move in together in Naples, Florida.
They were both going through divorces and started going out on “friendship dates,” they said, as they helped each other through tough times emotionally.
While they’re often mistaken for a couple, the women insist their platonic partnership works for them because they “aren’t attracted to each other,” they told SWNS.
Baker, a government regional manager, said, “It is wild. Our whole relationship has been very simple — we just say, ‘This is where we’re at and this is what we need,’ and the other person is like, ‘Boom, got it,'” she told SWNS.
She added, “That’s why we jokingly call each other platonic life partners because whatever the universe does, we just help each other figure out and it is so fun.”
She said as well, “We both love positivity and personal development — and we don’t want to go out to the bar and drink.”
Rather, she said, “we want to sit on our balcony, drink tea and watch the sunset — and we want to be in bed no later than 8:30 p.m. because we are going to wake up at 4 a.m. and go work out the next day.”
Kulak, a planner in Naples, told the outlet, “We have built such a good connection over something that can be considered so ugly,” referencing the divorces the women got from their husbands.
The pair said it was “a no-brainer” that they would move in together.
Baker said they joke with each other that they are “the husbands they never got to have.” She said they get along so well because they accept each other for “how you are.”
