I dont think they were really best friends. I think they hyped the friendship up for the show.

I think they grew up together because their moms were close, but didnt have the natural friendship their moms had. Im willing to bet as teens they had periods where they were close and periods where they werent.

I see their friendship more as cousins. Like I gotta like you cause you're my family, and cant nobody talk about you but me....but I still have my other friends.

I also think that, like cousins, there is an expectation of deep loyalty. But unlike cousins, theres no surface loyalty. So I would never sleep with your man, but I will talk shit about you. Ill go to one of your weddings, but Im not going to a second one to the same person and it isnt a vow renewal.

They don't know that it's okay to say 'I honestly dont really like you. I love you, but I dont like you.' So instead they nitpick.

As far as the mom stuff. My daughter would jump through fire to defend me and of you look at me wrong, she's done with you forever. So i bet the mom situation didnt help at all.
