we've been best friends for four years. finally dating. i want this.
and also i keep having this quiet grief like i "lost" the friendship even though she's right here. who do i complain about her TO now. who gets the partner hat vs the best friend hat.
anyone else feel that weird double feeling when friendship tips into romance.

yes. i felt guilty like i was contaminating something pure. therapy helped me see we were building on it, not deleting it.

get one other friend you can vent to. putting all hats on one person gets heavy fast even when you adore them.

the hat metaphor is going to live in my head rent-free

also talk about how you argue now. friend-fighting and partner-fighting aren't the same sport.
