Some end happily. The two friends realize their mutual feelings and start a romantic relationship. They build on the strong foundation of their friendship and often have a very deep and loving connection.
Often, these stories end in uncertainty. The person who has fallen for their best friend may be too afraid to say anything. So they keep their feelings bottled up, and the relationship just stays in this limbo. They continue to be friends on the surface, but there's always this underlying tension or unspoken emotion that can make the friendship feel a bit off - not quite as carefree as it used to be.
Often, they end happily. Since they started as best friends, they already have a strong bond, and in the end, they usually live happily ever after, perhaps with a growing family or achieving their dreams together.
Often, it starts with a deepening of the friendship bond. For example, they might start sharing more personal secrets than before.
Often, they end badly. Either the friendship is completely ruined because of the betrayal. Or, if there was a romantic aspect, the relationship doesn't work out and they end up losing both the friendship and the romantic connection.
Often, they end happily. The couple overcomes the initial obstacle of the brother's reaction. For example, in many stories, the brother is initially angry or shocked but then comes around and accepts the relationship. So, the two lovers end up together, happily in love.
Often, these stories can end badly. There could be jealousy issues that arise. For example, the bi guy might start to feel left out if his wife and best friend become too close without him. Or the wife could develop stronger feelings for the best friend than she intended, which could lead to the breakdown of the relationship between the bi guy and his wife or between the bi guy and his best friend.
Well, sometimes the wife realizes her mistake and tries to end the affair before the husband finds out. But there are always consequences. The relationship between the wife and the husband is strained. The best friend may feel guilty and disappear from their lives. In other cases, if the husband does find out, there could be a big fight, and the end result is a divorce. The social circle also gets affected as people take sides.
Often, they end in divorce. When a wife's cheating is discovered, it breaks the trust in the marriage, and many couples cannot recover from that.
They usually start when they spend a lot of time together. You know, doing things like going on long hikes or cooking together regularly. As they do these things, they start to feel a deeper connection. It's like the friendship deepens to a point where it turns into love. They begin to notice the small details about each other that they previously ignored, like the way the other person smells or their little habits.
One common element is the element of surprise. People often don't expect to fall for their best friends, like it just sneaks up on them. For example, you might be in a normal day - to - day situation with your friend, like having coffee, and suddenly you see them in a different way.
In many cases, the best friends with benefits story ends because one of them meets someone else they want to be in a serious relationship with. So, they break off the friends - with - benefits arrangement. This can be a bittersweet ending. On one hand, the friendship might survive, but on the other hand, there's a sense of loss from the end of the more intimate aspect of their relationship.
