I mean someone who always understands every single joke you ever make, without fail. The person who helps fill every moment with laughter when you’re together. What happens in the long term, does the laughter die off? Does the relationship (whether familial, friendship, or romantic) ever fade?
I’ve found 2 such people in my 30 something years, and I’m wondering if this is as rare a phenomenon as I have come to believe it is, or maybe my sense of humor just isn’t common.

1 and she’s my best friend. I call her my brain twin because in so many ways we’re exactly alike.
Two – my sibling and a friend’s husband. My friend’s husband became my friend, too, and as we worked in the same field, we’d often go to things together.
We’d be driving back from these things together and have to pull over because we were laughing so hard it wasn’t safe to drive.
He passed away a few years ago.
You’re right, it’s rare. I’m probably close to twice your age.
1, my oldest kid. So grateful for her.
My husband and one of my kids.
My ex-husband and his best friend (who is still my friend), my best friend when I was a teenager, one of my kids.
Two—my late father and my brother. Some others find me funny at times but a lot don’t get my humor.
A group of my cousins have a very similar sense of humor. But m mother and I definitely had the same sense of humor as in, OMG pull over because I’m laughing so hard I can’t drive. I miss those laughs sine she passed.
One and I put a ring on it.
Quite a few but I feel they all understand different parts of my sense of humor, i.e. I wouldn’t deluge them all with the exact same reels.
What ties them all together though is a love of the absurd and incongruous, an irreverence, a love of observing and novelty. Some are more meme oriented, some more punsters, and some are more storytellers/anecdote sharers. My English friend and I tell each other to fuck off more, and with my comedian friends we might go blue-er (we’re all women).
Also, I feel like Reddit comment threads and comments are some of the most hilarious parts of my day. I feel like the Internet has expanded our ability to find our humor-soulmates wherever we are.
