Of course my family counts as my safety net. We are very close, at least on my mother's side. My parents have taken very good care of us and I will probably be taking care of them in the future. My fiancé has always had my back as well. Besides them and my friends, there is one friend in my circle who has gone above and beyond so to speak. I'll call her Shirley. Me and he met in college and I was always there for her, she was always there for me. We had an attraction but I never made a move; but I feel that's why let it grow into what it did. She was always 'that' girl it was clear after a while I didn't see her like that. She had a way of overlooking my shortcomings. I worry that our bond has taken a hit because of my fiancé (jealousy), but hopefully she still feels that friendship. I know I still do.

It's always nice when it's recogniced that human relationships aren't a binary thing. They are complex because we are.
