"We&amp;amp;#8217;ve talked about winning over your guy&amp;amp;#8217;s best friends, how to handle it if one of his friend is not so nice to you, and what happens if his BFF is a chick who just happens to be in love with him(drama!). But what about when you have absolutely no issues with your man&amp;amp;#8217;s best friend&amp;amp;#133; except for the fact that he&amp;amp;#8217;s leaving town for a year?Nah, that&amp;amp;#8217;s not Brian and J. But they do this thing where they toast every time they have a drink so...Cheers to two of my favorite guys! Let me tell you about Brian. He&amp;amp;#8217;s been J&amp;amp;#8217;s best friend for 11 years since they first met freshman year in college (boy are there stories). He&amp;amp;#8217;s like J&amp;amp;#8217;s other brother (who also happens to be named Brian) and he&amp;amp;#8217;s grown to become one of my close friends as well. We see Brian almost every week and we love it. J and Brian have a definite bromance going on. They complete each other&amp;amp;#8217;s sentences and sometimes they don&amp;amp;#8217;t even need to talk; they just make noises and laugh hysterically. And now I feel like I&amp;amp;#8217;m in on some of their inside jokes and it&amp;amp;#8217;s a special place to be. But Brian&amp;amp;#8217;s about to leave for a year. He&amp;amp;#8217;s an actor, you see, and he&amp;amp;#8217;s going on the national tour of the show, Sister Act (so when he&amp;#x27;s rich and famous you can say you heard about him here first!). We&amp;amp;#8217;ll see him in February when he&amp;amp;#8217;s performing in Boston (the closest show to us), but other than that it&amp;amp;#8217;s going to be a long-distance relationship. You know, all emails, phone calls and texts. I have a pretty good feeling J is going to go through best friend withdrawal even though he hasn&amp;amp;#8217;t brought it up to me yet. I mean, his other friend Miguel is touring with Jersey Boys so he&amp;amp;#8217;s really losing guy friends left and right. Of course he&amp;amp;#8217;ll be OK, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s going to be a long year without his buds, you know? Do you guys have any advice on how to handle a long-distance relationship? I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never been in one and I&amp;amp;#8217;d love to make it as easy as possible for J while his best buddies are away. Have you ever had to deal with your guy&amp;#x27;s BFF going away for a while? How&amp;#x27;d you guys deal with it? Umm, and I hope this doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t mean I&amp;amp;#8217;m on football duty every week now. Alright, fine, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll do it!
