When I let the deep friendship with my non-binary friend & climbing/adventure buddy acquire a romantic&sexual aspect to it, in April, letting it happen out of spontaneous mutual consent and just the feeling of the moment, without discussing its possible consequences, I made a mistake.
I assumed it would be okay because in the moment there was mutual consent and it felt spontaneous and “right” then.
I assumed it would be okay because in my life, and especially in the past five or six years, I have had so many “friends with benefits” and it’s always been okay.
I assumed wrong.
I shouldn’t even have assumed in the first place.
Touché.
