The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't think there necessarily is one, remember though: If she cheats with you, she'll cheat on you too.
Thanks 🙏
She hasn’t cheated but her previous boyfriend cheated on her with some random lady.
Learned that lesson when I was 15 even though honestly I was already aware I just didnt want to admit it
I think any good relationship will make you friends, and it isn't awkward, it's great! But having been married a while, it is something you need to work at. With a long term partner they can end up in a bunch of different types of relationships with you - as well as friend, romantic parter and lover, they might be the equivalent of business parter, or boss/employee (for various household and family chores / projects) and learning how to do all those things well, and without ruining the other parts of the relationship can be challenge.
But if the balance is just between 'friend' and 'gf', I'd say the trick is knowing when to prioritise one over the over. There are times I'm horny and want to take things in that direction, but I realise my partner would rather have a cup of tea and complain about work. Equally, we might be getting intimate, and I'm tempted to make some dumb joke, because it's funny and that's what I do with a friend, so I have to weigh up my priorities (mostly sex wins, but sometimes I say the dumb thing and we both have a big laugh and then make dinner.)
It's only awkward if you feel awkward. If you do, take a moment to think about why and then consider talking about it with them
Exactly, awkwardness is something entirely personal. Ask any other person and they might say dating after a friendship is never awkward or that it always is. It's irrelevant to ask anyone else about awkwardness.
A good long term relationship is mostly about being friends. If you guys already have that it's a great start
Idk every friendship is different. As everyone is saying a successful or healthy relationship is gonna require you and your partner to be friend-like when you're not being otherwise intimate.
So with that I'd say really never, but it'll always be awkward if only one if you had an interest in that.
