I didn't know if this post should have been in the relationship thread or not, but it has more to do with sexual issues then other things.

Anyway, I just got over a huge relationship a little longer then a month ago, and I had a god friend that I always liked, even before I started this relationship. He helped me everytime I ever needed anything at all and he really helped me to get over the "crash" after the relationship I just got out of.

After my ex broke it off with me, I became really secluded and cut off from the world. He was the only person I would talk to, but somehow, eventually, we started dating. At first I thought I would never love again. I had no sexual/affectionate desire for a long time, but now I have them back even stronger then before.

I've known this guy for well over a year and I find that I trust him more then anyone, even my ex (who i dated for almost a year). I told him everything, even about my schizophrenia and he accepts me for who I am. I'm just amazed actually. He does have a bit of negativity problem himself, but I accept that and we're working it out together.

I just wanted to know if something like this was normal and do relationships with your best friends work out? Everything I ever read always said no. This is really the only thing that concerns me, because I feel like we know everything about each other and we're on the same level on everything. Every time a problem comes up, we talk about it.

I'll just leave this open to any comments. Tell me what you feel about it. And ask me questions if you need to. Thanks and hav ea great day!

You guys sound like you have it going on. I think the key is communication and you have that. And the friendship is what you have already. Acceptance keeps everything glued together. Enjoy!

Some of the best relationships and most successful marriages started out being best friends first.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
