These Are the Results of Sleeping With Your Best Friend

14.

I was on vacation with a group of friends. One of my best friends was in that group. We were drunk and dancing one night and we started kissing and one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together (multiple times on that vacation). We were both worried the other would be weirded out because we’ve known each other for almost 10 yrs but it wasn’t weird at all. Up until then I had only been curious about being with other women and at 26 had only ever slept with and dated men so kind of nerve racking but it was amazing. She and I are now in a relationship and insanely in love. I wouldn’t take back that first night for anything in the world.

I was 19, she was 31, should of realized the age gap would be an issue. We got drunk and ended up sleeping together, decided it wasn’t the best idea. Then she went on a trip with with me as friends, got drunk and ended up sleeping together, decided to see how this could go, had a couple of GREAT months, then she decided to end it on Christmas Eve, we got drunk and ended up sleeping together… she then decided to teach me a lesson (why and what that lesson was I am still trying to work out nearly 20 years later), and shacked up with some other guy and mention him at almost every opportunity she could before cutting me out of her life, was weird, the only time she got weird with me was when I asked her how she felt about me, guess that was the beginning of the end. Saw her once since, decided not to say hello, she looked annoyed with something.

One of my good friends had recently broken up with her boyfriend. One drunken night, we slept together. After that, I kind of fell for her but I didn’t want to move too quickly so I said we should hold off on doing the deed again. She lost interest and banged a series of guys, which caused me to lose interest. When I started dating someone else, she tried to get me to cheat and I stopped talking to her.

12 year friendship after dating briefly when we were 18. Hooked up last summer, he told me he wanted more. I’d just come out of a relationship and asked to take things slowly, and he agreed. After that he kept cancelling plans on me, avoiding calls. I eventually saw him a few months later, we acted couple-y and arranged to meet the next day. He cancelled again. I decided to reactivate my facebook account and snoop (I’m not proud) and found out he’d had a girlfriend for 5 months. A relationship which started about a week after I asked if we could take things slowly. I haven’t spoken to him since Christmas and don’t plan to again. Our friendship is ruined and I will always remember how easily he threw me away.
