I know some of you may argue that its possible..your best friend, lover, and mate all in one.

 

But there are certain exceptions, such as not being her therapist or telling her about your problems...i dont believe these are healthy for a relationship.

 

What do you guys think?

I think it's fun while it happens, but it can turn bad as soon as one feels any more or any less interested in the other.

Mind you, I personally know a couple that were friends for 5 years... started to become lovers. And are now together as a couple for about 7 years. I myself was in a 3 year relationship that spawned from a friendship of 6 or 7 years.

Maintain the friend aspect is cool until, like i said.. One has a change of heart.

If you two are best friends...then talking about each other's problems shouldn't be an issue. Friends help friends out...even if all you can do is listen to each other. In my opinion...if talking about your problems is something you DON'T want to do then I wouldn't consider you two "best friends." If you can't be friends then you can't really be a couple either because part of being in a relationship is being friends too. As for being lovers...that's the easiest one to be because you can have sex without loving or even caring about the other person. I do believe it's possible for another to be your best friend, lover, and mate all in one because then you really have all the components you need for a relationship.
