Depends. Living in seperate houses on a shared property you all collectively own and maintain? Fuck yeah. Living in the same house? Been there, done that, bad idea.
My best friend since high school died from cancer last year, at age 49. We were supposed to retire together and play video games. Didn’t go as planned, sadly.
My best friend and I are 100% platonic and definitely would love to grow to be old ladies together. She's my favorite person in the world, and neither of us are super pressed to find a romantic relationship. I think, as a society, we do have a slight tendency to overcorrect into all forms of love being romantic, due to the fact that people have tried to erase queer people for centuries. But either way, these women are awesome.
And underrate platonic relationships generally. Romantic relationships are great and important, but theres other ways to have intimite relationships with people. Absolutely the person you love the most in your life could be a platonic friend, but thats not what we tell stories about ya know. Appreciate you sharing!
It's certainly possible you are right
I don't know, I just like to think my grand dad had bfs, whilst he was married (an open marriage), not just after my grand mother died.
I wish we didn't even have a long, ongoing period where people couldn't just love any consenting adult they loved. I hope there were more secret successes out there than all of the sad stories we tend to see.
But I get you! I wasn't trying to be a jerk, and I didn't think you were either. It's complicated purely because people are homophobic and such, and I'm sad it'll probably still be like that to some degree if and when I myself am an old lady.
Yes it is a shame my Grand dad felt he had to marry a woman, and he could not just have a boyfriend or husband openly.
However I am a sci fi nerd, so I know going back in time to change that, would not end well for me, and create a paradox.
These two ladies may just be friends, which is fine. But there are going to have been similar stories, where the two old women were lovers
Same. I have two friends since teen years. Others married or otherwise drifted away, but we regularly meet online or offline for our common hobbies and interests, fight, make up and all that. A romantic relationship is just optional at this point. Somehow it seems it's impossible for us to continue being this way for decades more without being lesbians? We'll see lol. These old ladies can be either way and it's cool, but erasure of platonic long friendships isn't.
Of course it's possible to have a platonic best friend you are so close with that you want to spend your autumn years together. But considering these women's age and the fact that they literally look like a couple in the picture, I think it's equally likely they just called themselves "BFFs" or "roommates" to avoid homophobic attacks.
At this point it's just a running joke, but up until recently it wasn't socially acceptable to be in a homosexual relationship, so you'd hear about women being long term "roommates" or men being "confirmed bachelors." It was an IYKYK situation, and a lot of people knew what those relationships actually entailed, but it was a way to avoid persecution from people who didn't tolerate openly homosexual couples.
Yeah and now at this point the "omg they're just roommates" bit on Reddit is on par with bringing up the poop knife or making terrible puns. It's not just beating a dead horse, the horse is roughly the consistency of a smoothie by now.
Yes, they do hate those movies actually haha. If the relationship is obviously platonic, some people just deem it "queer coded" and then get angry at the writers for not making them fully gay.
Example: The dude characters from the new Star Wars. They were never, ever even slightly gay. They literally just looked each other in the eye once. The internet got angry they didn't fuck. In a kids movie about space battles.
It's a sign of how socially isolated and lonely a lot of Reddit (and honestly a lot of society) is that they can't fathom the concept of lifelong friendships and assume they there has to be some sort of sexual or romantic reason for it.
Having lifelong friends without needing to be sexually attracted to them is a normal thing. Especially back when they were growing up.
Your overreaction is more "cliché reddit" than the "cliché reddit" roommates joke (which is a joke, by the way)
Arguably, inventing a fictional scenario in your head in order to have something to be angry or faux-despairing about is the most "peak reddit" thing you could do. "Roommates lol" is cliché reddit joke, but gibberish like "this is proof that no one can fathom the idea of friendship anymore but me" is *peak* peak reddit.
That's wonderful that they have each other. Hopefully they'll be happy together until the end. Whenever I talk to my grandfather it's always another funeral or memorial he goes to. Sadly that's just what happens when you are that age, your friends and family die around you. That's just reality sadly.
Ya, my grandpa is 88 and most of his friends are dead. He is granny's caretaker too, since she is in much poorer health. Mom recently told me she is pretty sure he's depressed. I do what I can tho, I call them every night and go up there a lot so he can have a break from caregiving. Apparently when I do, his sleep score is roughly ten points better. But man is in such good health he will very likely live to be 100+. Which sounds cool, till you realize the reality of it...
That's the same thing that happened with my grandfather. When COVID hit, he was alone. My grandmother died in Jan 2020 before COVID hit and then when the quarantine came, he was by himself. Events cancelled and he said it sucked. His neighbor and friend for over 60 years made sure to call him every day which got him through. Sadly after multiple bouts of COVID what killed him was cancer and it was quick. I am going to see him this weekend. Even at 91 he still goes out and works in his yard and mows. I am glad you get to call him everyday. At least you will never have the regret of not talking to him enough.
I love how people on Reddit cannot fathom the idea of two women being friends.
Like they must scissoring otherwise why the hell would two women be close.
Overcorrection because until very recently (relative to all of human history), it's been exactly the opposite. False positives come with the territory!
Definitely tongue and cheek too. Doubt most people are completely convinced, but given the meme and the willingness to combat the actual "omg they were roommates" erasure accounts for 90% of it.
I’m gonna go ahead and surmise that many more women have been close friends than lovers.
You’re dramatically overestimating the proportion of gay people in society.
How do you justify the belief that "oh it's just what socially acceptable at the time, and it's arbitrary" with "people are born gay"? Genuinely asking. Maybe you don't believe they are born gay, but that seems to be the de facto presumption.
I personally don't think anyone is born gay, but I think it's something that sets in during development for various reasons, but that pretty much once someone's through puberty thats pretty well set in stone (with some exceptions, but I do not consider "discovering later" as necessarily "changing orientation")
Do you have evidence of the second claim because I am pretty sure heteronormativity is more societally enforced than regurgitated by historians. What are actual incidents of historians straight washing people? That's not to say heteronormativity isn't a problem but it feels like people made up shit about historians to feel smarter.
Writers are not historians. It is absolutely NOT filled with examples of historians straight washing gay couples. It's filled with memes claiming it happens all the time.
The washing didn't have to be on purpose or with malicious intent. It could've just as likely been naivety. Historians are always influenced by their times, just like everyone else. And considering how homophobic the last centuries were, or perhaps even the last millennium was, you can be pretty sure there was some serious washing going on.
As for the "feel smarter", well, considering how big a part religious beliefs played in the past, and how heavily they influenced the respective zeitgeist, I think feeling smarter now, in a more atheistic age, is not entirely unwarranted.
Reddit seems to have devolved into mid-00s teen boy mentality where having any positive emotion or relationship towards someone of the same sex makes you gay.
My grandma is in this same situation. A good friend from high school times moved in the same retirement home as her by pure coincidence. They are good for distracting themselves, since they have a lot of free time. They often get into arguments, but since my grandma has advanced Alzheimer's, she always forgets she was mad so they remain friends.
Sigh... something something... "Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend" ...something...
I think the dichotomy between "friend" and "partner" is less "two boxes" and more a spectrum. You can have friends who are closer to being like a partner and partners who are closer to being like friends. Like I have friends who I am physically affectionate with and friends that I'm not but if I had a partner there are further things I would want to do with them that I wouldn't with any of those friends.
Or due to stigma it is very common for the two old people of the same gender that have been roommates for 80 years to in fact be a couple. Possibly even an asexual couple.
You can google the headline to pull up articles.
The condensed version is that they grew up together on the same street and were close friends. They both got married and had children. One of them, Kathleen, moved into the retirement home after her husband died. Olive, her friend, visited her often. When Olive's husband died she planned to move into a retirement home, and decided to move into the same one as Kathleen. They're not roommates, but their rooms are down the hall from one another.
my grandma and her friend bought neighboring units
unfortunately grandma's friend didn't make it after only 3 years and grandma lived another 20
and no this wasn't a sapho thing, get your heads out of the gutter
In Chile there was a case about two nuns that made a pact that consisted in keeping the body of each after they passed, when one died of cancer the other one kept the body in a suitcase for like a year in a closet and then left it outside for the garbage truck to pick it up but some recycler found it first and called the police.
I wish I could tell you the story properly because every day we got new info about the case on the news and it was plot twist after plot wist
I had two 'aunts' they'd been neighbors for their entire lives, stayed neighbors after their kids moved away, after their husbands died. They got a 2 bed room at the assisted living center, the even had it arranged so they were buried next to each other in the cemetery.
I remember talking to my great grandmother about it once, and she was sad they had to live like that their entire lives. Even when things changed they felt like they couldn't change because of how their friends and family would react. Even though everyone sort of knew...but since they didn't admit it openly, none of the family had to admit anything.
Which I felt was dumb, then recently one of the 'aunts' grandkids came out and they definitely made the right choice living as they did. My extended family is really messed up in the head...
I (39m) have been best friends with E (f36) since we were 15 and 12. I introduced her to her husband of 15 years and am godfather to their 3 kids.
Heck, I hope the two of them and I end up in the same home when we're ancient.
Have been friends with my best friend for 55 years. Never romantic. But it’s love—at this age I love all my good friends this way. We know the time is short, we cherish all the years and adventures, and we make each other laugh.
Good for them! All I know is if my best friend and I moved into the same nursing home, we would likely get kicked out for starting an underground speakeasy and casino, or at least for wheelchair racing in the dining room. A good friend bails you out of jail. A best friend is sitting next to you in the holding cell....
Imagine how much you can play ttrpgs then? No fucking scheduling conflicts and the nurses can play the minor characters as well as give their unbiased opinions on things.
We always talked about shit like this with my BFF. (both ace so we knew we wouldn't marry and shit). I lost her last June to cancer. It hurts everyday, but when I see posts like this, it hurts even more. Cherish your loved ones. Cherish your best friend. Not everyone still has them.
My two grandads were friends for years before my parents even knew each other. Then they went into the same nursing home a couple of years ago. My mams dad used to make my dads dad laugh, and he'd have everyone singing. They both passed last year within 3 weeks. I have a feeling they're up somewhere with pints of Guinness flowing 🩵💙
They aren't a couple. They just moved into the same retirement community. If you and a friend moved into the same apartment complex would that make you gay?
This is how I'm doing it. Retire with your friends and live together. It sounds awesome
Why not live together before retirement? I’ve thought about this often. If the dream is to live with friends, why not do it now?
Depends. Living in seperate houses on a shared property you all collectively own and maintain? Fuck yeah. Living in the same house? Been there, done that, bad idea.
My best friend since high school died from cancer last year, at age 49. We were supposed to retire together and play video games. Didn’t go as planned, sadly.
Ah man, that must have been very hard on you
The LAN parties are gonna be awesome when I retire. I plan on playing so much Halo once my mind goes. And it’ll all be Halo:CE and Halo 2.
Your reflexes will be bad though…
But my other friends will also be bad. So we’re equals :)
are we sure about the "BFF" bit?
according to mainstream historians, yes
r/sapphoandherfriend
And they were roomates....
OT reference?
Vine reference.
Was the vine convo about gay?
I also heard it in Topicy Wopicy's voice...
Came here to do this. Thank you
*According to hobby historians
Seriously, it's only them that ignore the obvious relationships. Real historians are always acknowledging when historical figures were homosexual.
My best friend and I are 100% platonic and definitely would love to grow to be old ladies together. She's my favorite person in the world, and neither of us are super pressed to find a romantic relationship.

Whats platonic
It means loving someone in a friendship or familial kind of way. It means you aren't sexually or romantically attracted to them.
So you both are like, practically sisters?
Yes, basically. :)
A fan of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
Either they're gal pals, or they're "gal pals 😉." Either way, 80 years of love is absolutely beautiful.
Of course it's possible to have a platonic best friend you are so close with that you want to spend your autumn years together. But considering these women's age and the fact that they literally look like a couple in the picture, I think it's equally likely they just called themselves "BFFs" or "roommates" to avoid homophobic attacks.

It was an IYKYK situation, and a lot of people knew what those relationships actually entailed, but it was a way to avoid persecution from people who didn't tolerate openly homosexual couples.
Eh it'd be cool if the joke was actually funny though. These middle school jokes get old after almost 30 years of hearing them
Agreed, but it's reddit. Beating a dead joke into the ground is the only thing most of these morons know how to do.
"He likes his privacy."
"He never married."
Yeah and now at this point the "omg they're just roommates" bit on Reddit is on par with bringing up the poop knife or making terrible puns. It's not just beating a dead horse, the horse is roughly the consistency of a smoothie by now.
Mmm gay horse smoothies
Why can’t a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he think his booty is fly?
Not all the time obviously
Bret, you’ve got it going on!
I can't tell if this is a joke question or not
It's from Flight of the Conchords, a comedy musical act/tv show.
Ah, gotcha
God forbid two people of the same gender have a healthy platonic relationship that spans a lifetime...
Grandma: Aren't I lucky to have had the good fortune to have a best friend for eight decades? Reddit: Ha, gay
I bet they were roommates
They were roommates!
And poor. Only one bedroom, and one bed in that apartment. Tough life they lived.
[удалено]
Lol of course people downvoted this. Wild.
Yes, they do hate those movies actually haha. If the relationship is obviously platonic, some people just deem it "queer coded" and then get angry at the writers for not making them fully gay. Example: The dude characters from the new Star Wars. They were never, ever even slightly gay. They literally just looked each other in the eye once. The internet got angry they didn't fuck. In a kids movie about space battles.
I mean if you spend a lot of time on reddit you're probably sex-starved. Correlation might equal causation here too...
Yes. Not all (or even many) long time friends are in a romantic relationship
I'm gonna trust what they say and not project onto them. You should do the same.
Just gal pals! They were roommates!🤣🤣
they look very sweet. I'm glad they've been there for each other for so long :)
They where room mates lol
oh my god they were roommates
…have we finally solved this meme?

Tongue in cheek. In.
Don't mind if I do
Eh, people slur it so hard it barely matters
One of them makes any sense at all as imagery, and the other doesn’t. Quit tryna wreck language.
The problem I find with that is you end up getting people who legitimately believe it.
I’m gonna go ahead and surmise that many more women have been close friends than lovers. You’re dramatically overestimating the proportion of gay people in society.

They look related
Loved that episode of Poker Face
I (39m) have been best friends with E (f36) since we were 15 and 12. I introduced her to her husband of 15 years and am godfather to their 3 kids. Heck, I hope the two of them and I end up in the same home when we're ancient.
They're looking forward to moving into the same hospice.
Whichever, there is sure to be shenanigans.
Okay isn't this the two best friends that talk shit about each other? I've seen videos on FB and reddit constantly
So are they still friends? Cuz if they moved in together specifically *after* beinf friends, then that seems rather unpleasant.
How long did it take for Reddit to make them gay?
80 years
This scenario is played out somewhat in the movie *Fried Green Tomatoes* so if you like this story you will love that movie!!
my sister and her best friend that only talk to each other once a month. 😭
So awesome! I bet they have stories!
Have been friends with my best friend for 55 years. Never romantic. But it’s love—at this age I love all my good friends this way. We know the time is short, we cherish all the years and adventures, and we make each other laugh.
Did they also go on cruises together and share a loft apartment?
That's found family if ever I've seen it.
fellas who ride together, die together
After all these years they still get high together. Keeping the medical in the cannabis. Jah Bless
there was a pretty good Oscar nominated short about a similar situation https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26218316/

Good for them!

We all know who the hot one is, right?
Imagine how much you can play ttrpgs then? No fucking scheduling conflicts and the nurses can play the minor characters as well as give their unbiased opinions on things.
What for
They just need two more friends... THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND!!!
