One British survey found that just over 50 per cent of women felt closer to their best friend than the person they married. Here, three faithful female friends explain why the first person they turn to isn’t their dearly beloved, it’s each other . No, not with my husband, Peter (pictured with me, above), but with my two closest female friends, Wendy and Robbie. I’m perimenopausal and if I’m struggling with hot flushes, I turn to Wendy and Robbie because they are older than me. I believe women cope with deep emotions better than men, so I was grateful she had her friends when her father died.
