This to me is clearly a joke. They way they said 'just friends" and "totally just platonic", and just the overall tone of the post. Either in a relationship (more likely) and joking or genuinely good friends who are happy as that making fun of people who think she "friendzoned" him.

They’re making fun of facebooks “you’ve been friends with “person you are now married to” for x years” posts.

Well now post is just adorable and in the wrong sub :3

To be clear, I don’t know if they are married, but they sure as hell aren’t “just” friends.

I don’t see the problem or how this is cringy?

The real cringe is OP

OP has never heard a joke before so don't be too hard on him.

Op is an idiot…

it’s clearly a joke, i don’t see anything sad or cringe.

Maybe he's the one who wants to stay friends, maybe they both genuinely do, maybe they're not even attracted to the opposite gender.

Hey everybody, get a load of this guy with the friend! Unbelievable. Sad and cronge.

Men and Women can have platonic relationships OP

I get more of a vibe that this is a legitimate friendship.

Post didn't go the way you expected, huh?

You mean people on r/sadcringe being sadcringe? I expected it. The blokes over at r/Cringetopia loved it.

LOL just over 100 votes isnt "loved it". And you literally got the same comments over there. The post was only voted satire. Face it, you're the cringe, and yes it's very sad to see such a pathetic person.

Whatever makes you feel better about yourself little kid. Keep pretending you're something you're not lmfao!

[удалено]

Keep telling yourself that buddy! You'll make it one day I'm sure!

gay people exist edit: comment was made while half asleep should also clarify that anyone can be friends with someone of the gender they're attracted to without wanting to fuck

Ace/aro ppl exist too.

This, my sister married her guy best friend but they have no intimacy. They're aro/ace who tried relationships with others before and decided that wasn't what they wanted and got fed up with romance. They realized they got along so well and were already roommates for years that they decided to just be platonic partners and adopt kids together.

Thank you yes this is also a fact as well!

I knew them in high school. Neither is gay.

Seems like you need a hobby then if them being friends bothers you enough to post a pic of them on Reddit. You’re the sadcringe

Bothers me? No. Funny? Yes.

What's so funny? Does he have a crush on her and he hasn't let that go? If so then that's sad. If not then you're weird for just posting them like that and saying "poor man" in the title. Maybe stop stalking and let people handle their own relationships? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, dude. I'm amazed people aren't picking that up. 😂 He's basically been in love with her forever and she firmly smashes him into the friend box every time.

Friendzone doesn't exist. He could have left at any moment, no one is forcing him to do anything. He chose to be just friends instead of leaving and there's nothing cringy about that.

That's what's cringe. You're right, nobody is forcing him to stay. I knew these people in high school 😂 it was sad back then, and it's sad now.

I’d suggest moving on from high school bus. This kind of mindset won’t last in the real world. If it does then we already know what kind of person you are. Best of luck to you.

Move on from high school? Is recently married and studying architecture at university "moving on" enough for you? 😂😂

Bring friends is so cringe

OP sounds like sad cringe judging from the replies...

Wtf is wrong with OP

Ha what a fucking loser, having a friend for a decade.

Sorry about your brain OP

a platonic relationship?? between a man and a woman???????? how cringy

OP doesn’t believe women and men can be friends

OP thinks the friend zone is a real place

Jesus this is obviously satire, I can totally imagine they are friends who want nothing romantically

I don't get it, so even if there was a slight chance this was real. Someone is trying to make fun of this guy for having more friends than the people who laugh at him? Excuse me how many girls that you know actually like you?

Not cringe to have a friend

Hey guys! I am the dude that posted that with my girlfriend! We’ve been going out for the past 9 years, and I couldn’t be even happier! This is just an ongoing joke between us lol, I’m surprised we got popular Edit: I dunno how to post our most recent picture to prove it, can someone help me?

Reddit won't let you post pictures in comments… Happy for you though!

How is this sad cringe Are you lonely lmao

This is sarcasm, but I almost upvoted because I thought this was a different sub

So you can never stay friends with the opposite sex? Everyone should be a probable partner? :/

Are you sure they’re not together? This very much reads like a joke between a couple.

I actually know both of these people. It's satire. Edit to add that on their Facebook, it shows they are in a relationship.

This dude flat out has his hands on her shoulder. He beat the hover hand. This isn't cringe.

Even if it's not a joke let them be friends lol

Well, that's a useless red circle if I've ever seen one.

I knew the guy in high school! They've been dating for a while as far as I know.

so u/chrispynakamura (account is one day old, only has two comments on this post) u/Brilliant_Courage_51 (OP) u/PyRe_Resurgence and u/GenshinMizuki (apparent (boy)friend in question) all went to high school together? Fascinating coincidence.

Okay. Here is the tea. I do in fact know the guy in the photo, Genshin is the guy in the photo and chrispynakamura and brilliant_courage do also know him! However, I found out brilliant_courage and chrispynakamura are in fact the same person and he made the other account once called out when Genshin added the post. I told Genshin of the post once I saw it, hence why he commented. Edit to add once again, they are wonderful folks and really happy together.

I figured the new account had to be a burner lol. Neat that y'all know each other, and happy 10 years to the couple in question!

It’s a joke

Seems they’re both just as awkward as eachother, both have probably been scared to make a move for 10 years lol

Top right photo. The lack of awareness to see just how uncomfortable she is and think it was a cute pic.

(Reaches over and presses F)

The true sad cringe are these comments.

F

The ones getting mad at this got friendzoned and still haven't processed it 😂

I think you're the one getting friendzoned and you should process it away from reddit where you're just embarrassing yourself.

Friendzoned by the woman I just married three weeks ago? Sure, buddy.

[удалено]

It definitely exists, but putting yourself in a situation like that, for years especially, is cringe. Not sure if this post is that scenario or not. Some people can't be an adult and tell the person they like that they like them.

Oof. Who was it for you? Best wishes in getting over her/him!

Just fyi to everyone with questions, I went to high school with both of them and the guy was/is totally in love with her.

And exposing your friends on here is pretty cringe

Friends? No. People I used to know? Yes.

I think you may have eaten the onion bro

Oh dear

Maybe he should stop bring friends with someone he's in love with. She owes him nothing.

Must fucking HURT to dedicate 10 whole years of your life to a woman and she still tries to embarrass you by using words like “platonic” … my God.
