@_jennasayquoi: Sometimes these relationships formed after a friend was widowed. Not all of the partnerships were romantic, but a good chunk were documented as so #victorian #historytok #History #victorianhistory #queerhistory #victorians #feminism

My g-mother had a pair of friends (men) who were lifelong “roommates“ & “good friends“. I NEVER realized they were partners until I was an adult. We kids just accepted that euphemism at face value.
