Hi Everyone!

First time being an AP. It's been 5 months of a romantic relationship, but MM and I have been friends for 5 years.

Definitely some highs and lows. Hoping to get some insight being a part of this forum.

Thanks,
RLF

Hi RLF,

My MM and I started off as friends as well.

Are you able to just be friends in public when needed?

Yes, we can't show much, if at all, public affection due to the circumstances. It's okay. We make up for it in private!

Hi and welcome! This has been such a helpful place to process the complicated, hard, and wonderful nature of these relationships. I am 6 months in to mine and experience the same highs and lows! Looking forward to hearing more from you.
