That’s basically how my wife and I met. Except we were never exclusive because she was a really good friend and I didn’t wanna fuck that up. We ended up going our separate ways when she went off to college… We reconnected platonically years later, and then realized we were both getting divorced at the same time. One thing led to another, and we’ve been married for almost 2 years now.
We joke that if we had been exclusive, we would have a 20 year old already.
Friendship is the most important ingredient IMO, because a good friend is willing to change for the other, as well as look past deficiencies that don’t matter.
She’s easily the kindest, most loving, empathetic, and supportive person I’ve ever met. And the best part is that when I finally told her my feelings (after we reconnected), they were reciprocated immediately, much to my shock and amazement haha.

I’m happy for you! 😀
