Change In Status, Still Best Friends

"We had gotten drunk to celebrate me getting into med school, and 8 years of repressed sexual tension just poured out in a single night."

"The next 3 days, we were both in a panicked daze."

"I thought I had lost my best friend for the best sex of my life, and I couldn't stop thinking it wasn't worth it."

"The sex was mind blowing, but no one made me feel as safe or as happy and I would trade anything to keep that."

"He asked would it really be so crazy if we tried dating?"

"We moved in together a month later."

"We've been together now for 7 years, got engaged."

"Saving up for a house and wedding."

"He's still my best friend."- LexicalCat

'We bought an air fryer and a water cooler for our house so I guess you could say things are pretty serious."- ur_newstepmom

Still The Same Old Friends...

"We did a FWB thing for about three years."

"Whenever we were both single, we’d hook up."

"She lived about 300 miles away.'

"We used to sort of dance around the possibility of actually dating, even getting married, but we never pulled the trigger."

"The distance was too much, I think."

"We loved each other very much."

"Got to the point where whether it was platonic or romantic love was difficult to tell, and weirdly, neither of us was in a rush to figure it out."

"I guess we both had faith it would work itself out as it was supposed to."

"And it did."

"She met a great guy, dated him, and married him."

"I performed the ceremony."

"After it was over, at the reception, I gave her a hug and she kissed my cheek and smiled a little flirtatiously (we both knew it was the last time she’d give me that look), and said, 'Thanks for marrying me.'"

"It was one of the most purely loving, intimate moments of my life."

"We are still close."

"Not like before, but we still love each other deeply, and we always will."

"That love just has a more clearly defined label now, and it’s a label we both respect and cherish."

"So yeah, it’s not always a sad ending."

"Sometimes it’s just a weird and beautiful intermission."- RPMac1979

Must Have Been Good

"More sex."- Glittering_Pea_6228

Be it a friendship or a romantic relationship, having sex is always bound to change things.

If you like things the way they are, think very carefully before taking the leap.
