Quoted just for the lol factor :D

On topic - my OH and I have been together for 16 years now and married for just over 6 years. Sure we argue, usually about mundane, asinine things (like what to have for dinner :p) but we're still the best of friends as well as man and wife and I wouldn't have it any other way. So yes I suppose we are "like an old married couple" but our relationship hasn't suffered and we're both still happy together.

Is there a reason you think your relationship would suffer due to pointless arguments? From my experience these little pointless arguments are simply part of what makes a relationship work - you both have to accept a little give and take (no euphemism intended) and it's worked out all right for us so far. :)
 
I feel for anyone in this position where you just become friends instead of lovers :( i've been there when you get the i'm just not in love with you anymore conversation.
 
I'm really good friends with my ex, we still live together but we know it wont really work.

A hell of a lot closer now we're not dating.
 
Im really good friends still with my Ex, deep down wished it had worked out. And it still hurts a lil. But i am over it, honest.

Why can't you be both best friends and lovers?

Quite, I've always felt this is the best way to be. If she isnt your best friend then.. why not?

It's probably one of the reasons so many relationships falter after a while. If you don't have strong foundations then it's going to crumble. Being both best friends and lovers provides good foundations so is a good thing in my eyes (and my relationship supports the position)
 
I did the same thing about three years ago. I regretted it up until about four months ago, but I'm still single. The still being best friends part will make it very difficult for you to get over her, and if you must remain friends, my advice is go and find someone else as soon as possible (by that, I mean do it before she does ;)).

I think what the OP and others are talking about is when your relationship changes from being friends and lovers to just friends who are together and have a sexual relationship only because "that's what they do".
