I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years, lived together for 18 months, I’m 21, he’s 22. We get along great and are financially dependent on each other. I’m pursuing the start of my career and continued education coming Spring and he already has a career but wants to pursue his hobbies more (DJ) . I’m wondering if anybody has had success breaking up but still living together and being best friends. We’re expanding into a house in December so we will have separate bedrooms. I know it might be hard but the situation seems like it would have more positives than negatives. We’re both so busy and focused and on the weekends just want to have fun without worrying about eachother.
Transition from relationship to best friends?

Its my experience that once you’ve had sex with someone its not possible to go back to being just friends. Someone always has feelings left over.

Sounds like you have both talked about it, and decided that would be the right thing to do. It sounds like you both know what you want, and want to pursue it. It’s better to do it now rather then wait and never accomplish anything. I think you are both on the right track. Good Luck!

i have never heard of a situation that is similar to yours to work out.
there is no such thing as free things in life right? so believe me you wont only get the positives out of this, and eventually you will get tired of the negatives…
