From friends to lovers is a story as old as time, seen both on the big screen, in television series and even in books.
But does it really work in the long term? What happens when it’s not your favorite celebrity you’re watching in a movie, but your best friend in real life?
Reddit users are now sharing their own experiences of what it was like to sleep with their best friends, and it’s a unique situation that’s drawing mixed reviews.
The question was raised this week in the r/AskReddit subreddit from a user who asked directly: ‘People who slept with their best friend, what happened?’
The post received over 5,000 responses from different people who had slept with their best friend, and while some ended up married, others ended up ruining the friendship forever.
Reddit users are now sharing their own experiences of what it was like to sleep with their best friends, and it’s a unique situation that’s drawing mixed reviews.
‘Actually, like a movie, a Halloween party. I always had feelings for her. Spin the bottle, get in the closet, kiss, find out he’s my best friend, have a fun night, pretend nothing ever happened, I couldn’t, I started dating, fast forward five years, I’m married and a newborn. one person wrote.
Another shared a similar story, writing‘After a game of cat and mouse that lasted for years… We have been very happily married for eight years together for 10.’
‘I married him 12 years ago and I wouldn’t change a thing. “He remains my best friend and father to my wonderful children.” someone else wrote.
A Reddit user explained“We tried to just be friends, but eventually it became too much and we ended up dating.” We have been together for almost eight years, married since April 2022. She is also still my best friend.
Others, however, were not so lucky.
“I slept with a friend drunk and like an idiot, I tried to explain my feelings about it over text. That turned into an essay, and I regret everything about that night… I probably haven’t talked to her in about a year… I still cringe at how fucking stupid I am/was…’ they wrote.
Other The Reddit commenter shared, “She told me I had to move out of the apartment and never spoke to me again… best friends for years and we did everything together… one stupid night of drinking too much destroyed that friendship very quickly…”
‘I hated them because they took advantage of the situation/me. “It made me hate everything about them and ruined the friendship,” he said. The second person confessed.
Some users reported success stories, including marrying their best friends, while others faced broken relationships and even divorces.
The viral Reddit post comes after therapist Taylor Palmby revealed her ‘revolutionary’ advice that will help you reframe your thinking while dating.
Someone else claimed‘It was great and we got married a year later. We were together eight years and married seven. Six of those years were great until he became a manipulative, manipulative narcissistic cheater. We are now divorced and I hope to never see him again.
The viral Reddit post comes after therapist Taylor Palmby revealed her ‘revolutionary’ advice that will help you reframe your thinking while dating.
She shared the advice on TikTok, explaining: ‘We’re not going to say ‘I like this person’ or ‘I love this person’ until we’ve been on a considerable number of dates with them.
Instead, the therapist advised people to say they were “curious” about the person, because you don’t want to immediately convince your brain that they’re always kind, funny, or loving.
