How did it worked out?

He's sleeping upstairs and our two kids are on the sofa watching dinosaur train. And im 33 weeks pregnant.

We're very happy and very much still in love. We have a very calm and low conflict relationship but plenty of passion!

Good luck

Same for me, I married the only person I was friends with before dating. Together for 21 years, married for 14.

We met at work on our first day and started as business friends and then friend friends for about three years. We were both dating other people but we hung out a lot at work and sometimes on weekends. I always thought he was very cute and then over time I realized how nice and smart he was and that I enjoyed spending time with him more than with my BF. Soon after breaking up with my BF I made the first move and that was it. Falling in love with a friend was so easy because I knew him so well. The only thing I didn’t know was would he be a good lover and he proved to be one on the first night. We’ve been married a long time and I still feel the same way about him or even more. I really feel blessed and I’m pretty sure he feels the same way.

NP - were you worried that if you didn’t click in bed that your friendship would be at risk? Good friends are hard to come by especially those of the opposite sex.

It’s funny that you should ask. I knew from a GF who had briefly dated him that he was very good in bed (yes, TMI) so I was more concerned about how good he’d find me to be. I guess I did ok. I didn’t think about putting our friendship at risk at the time as it just felt like the right thing to do.

We went to grammar school together but not HS or college but we were always good friends. We didn’t see other from about age 18 until 25 because we lived on opposite coasts but we would email and chat once in awhile. Then one day he called and said he was moving back east for a job and he invited me out to dinner. When I met him at the restaurant there was an instant chemistry as we had both physically matured. As we parted that night I think we both knew that something was going to happen. That was 31 years ago. As a pp said earlier it was easy to go from being friends to lovers as it was slipping into an old pair of slippers.

He’s out on a run right now after making us a delicious lunch; I’m reading on the couch with the cat, and DS is reading in his room.

Friends for 4 years in college & a while thereafter, started dating at 23, now married for 12.5 years (so far).

Friends since college, we each married other people who turned out to be assholes. We were at each other's first weddings. Got divorced separately. Then got together. Now we have been married for 13 years and I couldn't be happier. He's so perfect for me and a tiger in the sack.

We were better as friends. Mismatched marriage.

We married. Still married 20 years later. We aren't the worst match in the world, except that I'm not really attracted to him. And I don't like him much. But we get along. Kids.

Same. But we too often get along either.

*don’t get along

We went from close friends to lovers and back to close friends. From my perspective, everything that I value so much about him I can get from a friend. We are too
