Both of us liked each other for a while when we “ CF: were best friends beforehand, but the friendship I had with him meant a lot to me and I didn’t know if I wanted to jeopardize that, so it just took a while for the transition to happen. WE KNEW IT WOULD BE WORTH IT EVEN IF THERE WAS THAT RISK. DH: Sometimes, when you have these feelings, THEY WILL COME OUT AT SOME POINT ANYWAY, or if you are keeping them inside, it kind of ruins your friendship as well. If you are pretending to feel one way that you are not and if you are trying to be honest with the other person, you are not going to have that same friendship. DH: One thing we do is we hold each other’s hand basically everywhere we go. It’s couple-y, but it’s also REASSURING TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS ALWAYS THERE.
DH: I think a lot of relationships have issues when the individuals in it are too stressed or worried about things outside the couple that they forget to focus on the other person and MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE BOTH HAPPY AND HEALTHY.
DH: It only matters if the relationship is special to you. IT’S IRRELEVANT WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS.
