Bestfriends to love

I met this guy at the dog park. We started out just hanging out while the dogs played, and we didn't even know each other's names, but we knew each other by our dogs. This went on for, like, five months. Then, the pandemic happened. I started hiking frequently, and one day, we ran into each other on one of my hikes. We exchanged numbers and names and started hiking together several times a week with the dogs. We became really good friends — we talked every day and took hikes every weekend together. This went on for nearly a year, and then, around Christmas I realized he might have feelings for me when he got me a little gift for Christmas. A few weeks after that, we stared dating! Over two years of dating later, we still hike every weekend with the dogs, too!"I had been friends with a guy for about three years in college. He was three years older and definitely looked out for me a lot. We spent a lot of time together, and people often asked if there was something going on. One time at a college event, he kissed me out of the blue in front of a lot of people, but we both brushed it off. A couple of months later, it happened again, and we spent the night together (non-sexually but still sleeping in same bed)." "I started to question if there was something there, and a few days later, when IM-ing him (in the days of MSN messenger), I brought it up and suggested we go out. He said that actually, in retrospect, I was like his little sister. So, yeah, no, that did NOT work out.I met my now-husband when we worked together at a restaurant 15 years ago, and I was still with my ex-girlfriend. My ex had been unfaithful to me a couple times, but I had taken her back (like an i***t). She cheated again, and I finally broke it off for good. I leaned into my co-worker friend group since she didn't know them, and started hanging with them more, including my now-husband. He and I started hanging out almost daily and even signed a lease on a two-bedroom apartment for the following month, as friends.Three days before we moved into our apartment, something shifted. We threw a pre-housewarming hotel party with some of our friends and ended the night cuddling together, but nothing else happened. I met him outside his parents' home the next day to talk about it, and we both confessed we had caught feelings, and shared our first kiss. We decided to just see what happened, and moved in together a day later, officially dating. It was the riskiest, most terrifying thing I've ever done, but 14 years later, we've now moved into our second home, we have two wonderful rescue dogs together, we've been married almost four years, and just had our first child last summer.One day, I walked into a record store crying because of something that happened at work and drama from a situation-ship. This nice, buff guy in scrubs came up and asked if I was okay and offered me a cup of tea from the cafe/bakery next door where his cute boyfriend was working part time. I became good friends with them both. Six months later, on New Year's Eve, the bakery boyfriend got tipsy, kissed me, and then, they both avoided me for two weeks. After that, as a couple, they asked me out. I said yes, and two years later, I married both of them
