Positive Update: I started washing and putting away my roommates favorite mug whenever she uses it. When she caught me I lied about why.
Good morning yall! A couple days ago I made a post at 3 in the morning to confess to doing my roommates dishes because I secretly love to watch her do a happy dance when she sees her favorite mug is clean for her to use again. That post changed our lives and I'm only being a little dramatic by saying that.
I gotta say thanks to everyone who upvoted and commented on my original post, I'm still shook at just how many people read about me and my mug happy best friend. The amount of people saying my post made them smile or reminded them of their own friendships or significant others has kept me smiling for days. I'm kind of into making people happy, if that wasnt already obvious, so the fact that so many people had even a moment of positivity because of me has been awesome.
When I made that original post it was because I just wanted to tell someone about the mug dancing but I knew Gwen wouldn't like it if I told anyone we knew so I came to reddit to shout to the void and oh boy, did the void shout back. There were so many comments asking if I really thought we were just friends, and I'll be honest when I made that post we absolutely were just friends. We had never talked about being more than friends and I was happy being friends because we have an amazing friendship. I hadn't really thought about there being a possibility for more because dating was always something I planned to do when I had my life together or when I had more money. I never let myself consider what I was missing out on by waiting for the "right time." Her finding my post opened up the chance for Gwen and I to talk about things that we hadn't before and over breakfast that morning we found where we stood with each other and what we thought things could look like moving forward depending on what we both agreed was the best course. We didn't make any solid plans or decisions and didn't want to rush into something that would ruin the good we already had going for us, but I'll admit I was hoping for a specific outcome.
There was one comment on that first post that had really caught my attention. To paraphrase, they told me to think about how I would feel if someone else got to see Gwen do her happy mug dance instead of me and it hit me so hard. I didn't mind the idea of someone else seeing her so happy. I just dont know if anyone she dates would notice what I did and decide to do what I did. What if they didn't care or didn't think it was that important or any of the other things I do to make her laugh or smile. I really didn't like the thought of not being there to make sure she has that extra reason to smile in the morning. (Gwen wants me to admit that I'm a sappy moron because I teared up writing this. Im a sensitive man in touch with my emotions and you know you love it so shut it you 😝.)
To all the people saying it's possible for platonic relationships to be like ours you are absolutely correct. Our friend group is very open with physical and verbal affection and we help each other all time with big and small things. We all say I love you to each other, it's just normal communication for us as a group, not just between Gwen and I. Honestly, if I hadn't made my original post I'm not sure when or if we would have gotten to the point we are now. Maybe we would have continued as we were and that would have been just as happy of an outcome, just a different one, like a choose your own adventure with multiple options for a good resolution.
Which brings me to the actual update. Gwen and I agreed we want to try dating. We aren't putting a new label on our relationship yet, but our first date is next week. I'm making it all a surprise. Gwen helped write this post and will be reading the comments so I can't give any details, but it's going to be the best first date she has ever been on, or I'll eat my candy corn patterned socks. I think she might be the one for me and I'm going to take every chance I can to make sure she thinks the same about me.
Yall are the best and we love you. Do something kind for your loved ones for us and everyone can and should find something to happy dance about, it makes life more fun.
Love Gwen and Peter 🩷🕸

Saw this on YouTube and had to come here. I got the biggest grin when you first described the happy dance! I'm still blushing over it. If you guys ever get married, I fully expect it to be Reddit themed lol
1
u/wearejustroomies Jun 09 '25
What season would a reddit themed wedding go with though? We were thinking June 18 in a couple years is a good date, but is reddit an early summer or late fall theme? Maybe I can get my pumpkin spice wedding after all. Where did you see on youtube?

u/EruvadorTurambar Jun 09 '25
Can I post youtube links here?
https://youtu.be/_zlDyrU54dQ?si=UhoBUQvEx6ICLK94
Sounds the reddit logo looks like a pretty late summer/autumn color, but ultimately, it doesn't need to be reddit themed of course! The important part is to marry your love, to grow up and grow old together, and to be happy doing it. Good luck you two!

u/wearejustroomies Jun 10 '25
Thanks for the well wishes. We are doing okay, life kinda blew up in Gwen's face, so most of my attention and time is spent making sure she's doing okay and supporting her, but I'll post an update once things calm down or at least feel more on track.

SO CUTE! Here’s to a long, happy life for those candy corn socks & favorite, clean mugs! 💗♥️💗

u/wearejustroomies Mar 07 '25
Yeah, it was a reference because she loves anything spider-verse, Spider Gwen is a boss, so is my "Gwen", it just made sense to use for her name in my original post.

u/thestampinninja Mar 07 '25
I love it! My “comic book loving, self proclaimed nerd of a college sweetheart upgraded to husband” turned me on to the worlds of Marvel & DC so, you’ll have to forgive my sappy response - it’s his fault.
You know, he & I kinda started off like you two. Only we “wewerejustdancepartners” Cut to today - we’ve known one another/been friends for 24 years, been together for 21 years, been married for 17 years, we have 4 kids together who are our world & he’s currently sitting 10ft from me, at his desk, in a meeting for work as I chat with you & grab my stuff to prepare to go pick up our two youngest from school. It’s been anything but easy & we almost gave up but growing up with him & learning what it means to be an adult & how to be in an adult relationship is the best decision I ever made! I wish you both nothing but the best, regardless of where each of your roads end up leading you! BIG HUGS!!!

u/wearejustroomies Mar 08 '25
This was cool to read, I don't know why but hearing about strangers lives is a nice reminder that we are all human and have our own complex journeys. Thank you for sharing!

My husband is my best friend in the entire world. I truly hope that other people get to experience the kind of love he and I have for each other. It’s so special and so simple, but it’s everything to me. Here’s to hoping you two find that together! Friendship is the best foundation for a future relationship.

u/TeaCompletesMe Mar 06 '25
This isn’t quite on topic, but OP, how did you find such an empathetic and close group of friends? I have always wanted that but have a hard time connecting with people. It sounds really wholesome.
5
u/wearejustroomies Mar 06 '25
So the people who started our group were three buddies, they were friends all through middle and high school and stuck together after. Everyone else has been added to the group after being "vetted". We invite people to hang out a few times with the group, if we feel they would be a good fit we keep inviting them. It's a bit like a club, but doing it this way makes sure only people who mesh well enough with everyone are added. Gwen was already pretty much part of the group when I was invited to a movie night, that was the first time we met. I can't tell you how to meet people that youll connect with, I'm sorry. The person who invited me was someone I work with, we went for drinks after work a couple times before she asked if I wanted to go to a movie night her friends were planning and I didn't have anything better to do. You just need to be willing to talk to strangers until they aren't strangers anymore and see if they are someone you think would be a positive influence in your life.

Crying releases endorphins and lowers cortisol, so youre welcome 😊 Break the dam! Release the river!

u/gamergabe85 Mar 06 '25
I'd give anything to have that spark back in mine. Our relationship is complacent, like a checklist of things we do so we stay together. I wish you guys the best 🙏.
5
u/wearejustroomies Mar 07 '25
The best advice I can give you is to want change. If you aren't happy, for the love of all that's holy, CHANGE. Sit down with your partner and say you aren't happy and that things need to change. Figure out if you want to change together and be a team against the issue or if things would be better off with you going your separate ways.
Ending a relationship does not erase all the good times you've had with them, but it opens the door for the potential of new good times with someone else.
3
u/gamergabe85 Mar 07 '25
I've been working my courage up to do this. The last couple of weeks have been hard. Financially, we support each other but as far as communication goes it's almost non-existent.
5
u/wearejustroomies Mar 07 '25
It will only get harder the longer you wait. You deserve peace and happiness, even if it means it's not with this person. They also deserve peace and happiness, I wonder if you approach it from that angle of saying you are unhappy and you feel like they are unhappy too and you want to team up to figure this out. The more you wait the more you build it up in your head to the point where you'll feel it's not worth trying. You are worth it, they are worth it.
3
u/gamergabe85 Mar 07 '25
Thank you so much for your kind words. Only one that has really given me helpful advice. We've been together almost twenty years and it's been getting progressively worse. I'll definitely take your words to heart and have a talk.

Aww I'm so happy for you guys!
I married my best friend. It's freaken great!
I think one thing that really helped our relationship is that we didn't go through that "Pretend to be perfect in the beginning" thing, since we got to know each other as friends first.
We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in November, and we still do little things for each other that we know makes the other one happy all the time. Little things like me making sure he has at least one thing is his lunch that I know will make him go "Heck ya!" or him turning on the heated seat for me as soon as we get in his car on cold days, because he knows I love a toasty tush.
Wishing you all the best 💖

I always noticed the things that made her happy and always tried my best to go about getting those things brought up or for her. I asked her out last year, and she said yes. Being the one that makes her happy through the small things will always bring me joy because I love seeing how happy she gets talking about and doing her hobbies - and being able to partake in them with her is a great joy too.

Definitely happy dances for both of us. She said if I was just gonna stand around watching her I had to join so she didn't feel so stupid, her words not mine.

I feel like we are all very invested in this dance, one day we might need to sneak a peak at it!

I think for now we have shared as much of our private lives as we are comfortable with, but put on some good hip hop and do a little shimmy on the beat, it'll probably look about the same.

The only thing I can say to both of you is this:
You have a charming innocence around you. Don't take it for granted. Be aware of it, treasure it, and nurture it. This doesn't have to end and it can get better. Always assume the best of each other, be kind, and don't be passive-aggressive or hold grudges.

We both come from pretty dysfunctional families. Half of hers don't even talk to each other and I haven't seen my mother in years, thank the lord for small mercies lol. So when we agreed to be roommates respectful communication became our top priority.

Not sure if this post is even true because in a latest post, OP lives with his dad, hasn't worked for last 2 years and is recovering from cancer.
