    Yep.
    That's my husband and me.
    I don't think it was ever romantic.
    But he has been my best friend from a few months after we started dating 35 years ago.

    We became a couple within around two months maybe and we are still together now....:)

  • Definitely not.  Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.  Independent ProdigalSon and Relationship ProdigalSon cannot be allowed to meet. THE WORLDS CANNOT COLLIDE!

  • Oh how fun you caught someone right at the peak of their "Who and What Am I?" phase.  Always such a "fun" roller coaster.

    Mostly my boyfriends and now my husband have been my closest friends.  But the friendship grew out of the relationship. Or they just came together.  I have sometimes had sex with friends like what the young people refer to as FWB but never developed into anything romantic or long-term.

    I don't have any friends other than here. No romantic relationship allowed.

    A good friend from grade school ended up in a short term romantic relationship and went our separate ways - so to speak.  She met her husband, I met my Ex we attended each others weddings.  She helped me through my divorce, I helped her through the death of her husband.  We are currently with great partners and moving on with our lives.

    So we have maintained a friendship for over 50 years, yes we have been lovers, and yes at times we have asked "What if".  Now does that count?

    Yes.  And he was gay.  We gave up trying to fight it.

      Does that mean the two of you gave up trying to avoid the relationship, or that you gave up trying to make it work?
