Did any of you turn a FWB into a... relationship?

So, I was talking to my girlfriend at a Halloween party and found out her husband and her started out at FWB and didn't so much as have a discussion about the "status" of their relationship for about a year...

I found this interesting. I don't think I could go without some sort of defining conversation for a full year.

If you're in a long-term exclusive (not open) relationship, how did it come about? What's your story?



And yes, I am rather bored...

    I did. Well, it started as a relationship, and we broke it off. Then we did a FWB thing / open relationship for 1.5 to 2 years. And now we live together, moved from Boston to Seattle, and have been dating steadily since 2007.

    I had a on/off FWB type situation for the past two years. We are just starting to get into more and talking about the status of where we're at at what not. It would probably be easier if I wasn't so damn terrified of commitment. Anyways, I actually know a lot of couples who started out that way.

    My current bf and i started out as FWB. He had JUST gotten out of a very serious relationship and wasn't ready for another one. Even thought I wanted a serious relationship we stayed as FWB for over a year. Him officialy asking me out was a huge deal to me, we have been together for over 5 years if you count the year as FWB. It was a weir start to a relationship to say the least but it is good now

    Nope. :(

    I generally date first then have relations ... I'm old fashioned that way I guess. :)

    I have a couple friends who started out as best friends, became FWB's and everyone knew what they were. At some point they just switched to being BF/GF. Fast forward 5 years, and they're still together. No ring or anything, but they share a mortgage and pets. They might as well be married but I don't think she wants kids.

    no, our rule was cut and run once any feelings came about. He did, so I ran. It was fun while it lasted, though...

    Yes married him happy ever after since 2005. Turns out he has always been in love with me :) I felt the same but didn't want to be a girl about it.

    No....I hate to admit this, but I am too prude to even have a FWB.

    I did. Only took 12 years. I don't recommend it to ordinary people.
