It's natural to have different types of relationships with different people in your life, including your romantic partner and your friends. However, there are some key differences between a romantic relationship and a friendship that can help distinguish the two:

Emotional intimacy: In a romantic relationship, there is typically a deeper level of emotional intimacy than in a friendship. This may include sharing more personal information, feelings, and vulnerabilities with your partner than with your friends.

Physical intimacy: Physical intimacy, such as holding hands, cuddling, or sexual activity, is typically reserved for romantic relationships and not present in friendships.

Commitment: In a romantic relationship, there is usually a greater level of commitment and exclusivity than in a friendship. This may include being monogamous, planning a future together, and making sacrifices for each other.

Communication: Communication in a romantic relationship often involves discussing the future, making plans together, and working through conflicts in a way that is more important than in friendships.

Before and after dating, you may treat your significant other differently than your friends. This could involve spending more one-on-one time with them, being more affectionate, and prioritizing their needs and wants. However, it's important to maintain healthy boundaries and not neglect your friendships or other important relationships in your life.

I fuck my boyfriend and I don't with my friends. That's the major difference. Other than that our relationship is about the same because he was a friend first so I still treat him like a friend just with the benefits.

Ask yourself, what is a friend? What behavior/qualities define them? Same question for a boyfriend/girlfriend. This is what separates the two.

Emotional and physical intimacy is what separates your partner from everyone/anyone else.
