According to the Urban Dictionary, bromance is a close relationship between to straight males. This subject came to mind after spending time with my husband while he was recuperating from his illness. I realized that he was on the phone quite often. First I thought that he was talking to his mom, since I know she calls during the day. After awhile I realized that the he was speaking to his best friend. 10:00am, 1:00pm and sometimes in the evening he was on the phone. It seemed like they had a schedule going on, which I thought was strange. When I began to listen to the conversations, they really were not talking about anything important, but were talking about what some of things their friends had done, what they were watching on TV and what they had did that day. Then I began to get annoyed, since I was thinking that I was in the house and he could just talk to me. I just assumed that since my hubby and I work different schedules, they have been doing this forever and I just never knew about it. I just found it odd, which I do not know why since I know that he is really close to his best friend.
When did a close relationships between to male friends become a bromance, instead of being called homies, best friends or buddies? Once I got over my initial annoyance with him being on the phone, I realized that I do the same thing. I talk or text to my friends through out the evening, so why should I be annoyed with him for doing it. Women can be close without any additional questions, but men have to be questioned about their relationships. I think it is funny to have a name for it....what is next womanance? Friends, male/male or female/female, to me are just called friends, just like we learned when we children.
