My wife and I were friends for a long time before we dated. I like to think we are still friends
Lesbians
A community for lesbians, people whose loved ones are lesbians, people who want information about lesbians, queer people, and allies! Trans lesbians are lesbians and are welcome.
If your partner isn't also your best friend, you're doing it wrong.
Precisely! My girlfriend is my best friend
I'm still friends with many of my exes because I formed good friendships with them either before or during relationships. It's only the toxic typical straight, monogamous relationship dogma that says we have to stop caring for and start hating people we care about when we're no longer romantically involved and so romance and friendship need to be separate so a breakup doesn't mean losing your best friend. Friendship is the bedrock of all of my relationships since I learned that regardless of their or my gender (I'm pansexual, though).
