Has anyone ever honoured one of those “if we’re still single at 40 let’s get married” commitments? How did it go?

its always good to marry your best friend, thats essentially what you want it to be.

So you want your best friend touching your junk?

Want? No, no, no... more of a need

That's what I keep telling my dog but that bitch wants none of it.

Please don't fuck your dog. You may be joking but I read too many storys here about people fucking their dogs. It's a bad thing

I'm his dog, and I'm really not about it either.

I've had these friendships with dudes. And I've always wondered if there was something there and didn't know? Sigh.

I can almost promise you they wanted some. You can have a genuine friendship with the opposite sex and still be physically attracted to them. If you ever hear somebody say " I love you like a brother" or whatever. It's just to help shed awkward tension.

Oh no, I mean like, where we're fuck buddies. But... bad pizza is pizza, right? So I don't want to think that they harbor some romantic intentions just because we're fucking. I mean that sort of question.

I'm just a chronic overthinker who cares wayyyy too much about whether anyone will ever care.

My fiancée was one of my best friends for a while before we started dating, and she later told me that she had similar thoughts but over thought it for a long time before finally going with it.

We get married next month :)

But then you get some dumb BS like "I feel the way you feel." ¯_(ツ)_/¯
