Well said. I'm so glad you have each other through this process. Staying friends is good and shows you've treated each other with respect and honesty. 💙
I started the video thinking "I definitely stop believing in love" and ended up feeling the exact opposite "this definitely makes me believe in love a lot more". I think we forget that love has many edges and, generally, we want to enclose it in only one way. I love you both very much and you will always be an inspiration to me 💖
This comment almost made me cry. It's so sweet. I feel like that too. I don't want to ever hate my SO if things ever go awry so I really hope we're like this if that ever happens.
♥︎ So so so happy for the clarity you two have found!! So brave for being so open and casual with the world wide web. A very relatable "break up" too! Thank you for sharing!!! ☺︎
Ahh, you two are so incredible - thank you for sharing this vulnerability 💛 Sending so much love and light to the both of you as you move forward into the future !!! 🌈🍓💖
@@icekng456 I think in a way they are evolved because we don't know that they didn't show anger and those emotions. But we know that they're able to overcome those emotions in this video to still hold respect and love for each other. Only emotionally immature people imo cannot get past these emotions to be able to treat each other like respectful individuals they still love
@@icekng456 I’m sure there was sadness, fear and anger, but they got pass that. It’s not about not feeling anything, it’s about not getting stuck, moving forward without resenting each other.
this is kinda weird to say, but i wish my parents have had this nice o a conversation with me when they divorced. man, Fran and Ed are healing my inner child and they didn't even had to try hahahhaa
lol tell me about it. I wish my parents were friends. I don't even get why they got married. My mom currently wants to get separated from my dad but they can't even afford to live apart or get divorced because we're immigrants. :( It's awful...
@@humankaleidoscope4989 I think most of marriages are on that situation, or at least that seems the rule here in Spain. Maybe that cheer you up in some way haha ok no
@@ZurditaDinamita lol yeah actually we're mexican but both sides of my family are originally from spain so it's funny you say that. A lot of marriages are like that in a lot of places unfortunately. it's kinda messed up my ideas about love and marriage. x_x hopefully you and I both avoid marriages/relationships like that
Love and identity don't need to be static or permanent, if today the label that fits the most is "gay" but tomorrow it's something else, that's totally fine! Don't feel ashamed or like you're faking it, what you're feeling right now is valid. It's really amazing that you're able to start figuring out yourself and your feelings! :)
But she could have been a lesbian the whole time? Why is that so uncomfortable for people to realise. Sexuality doesn’t have to be fluid, or change or just be a label.
@@lilymcmanaway I didn't say she wasn't, I don't remember her exact words, but she said something along the lines of not wanting to say she's gay because it's something so big, and a lot of people are afraid of saying they identify with a certain label because it feels like you're signing up for something permanent, and if in the future you don't feel the same anymore people would think you lied or were faking it, my comment was trying to reassure her that if "gay" is what fits her now but later she realizes she's something else, it is fine.
@@lilymcmanaway This is true! I think the original commenter was just trying to acknowledge Fran's feelings about her identity and how she isn't sure just yet. She might find out she's a lesbian and has always been a lesbian, and I don't think the original commenter was trying trying imply that all lesbians are sexually fluid and somehow 'chose' to only like women. Some people really do have static sexual orientations, and have never and will never experience sexual fluidity. That said, for a lot of people sexual orientation is a lot more complex than that. And sometimes it isn't even really about sexually fluidity - for a lot of queer people they just aren't at a point where they know 'what' they are exactly, especially if they're coming out later in life, or maybe they do know but they're finding it hard translate it into the available language. For those people, it can be really scary to say that they're gay even if they think or know that is likely true, because there is always that fear of being wrong - especially because we live in a society that likes to make it seem like sexual orientation is 'obvious' and self-evident from a young age for everyone. Saying you're gay and realizing you're wrong later on can be nerve wracking for a lot of people for this reason so it can really stall their progress when coming to terms with their identity as a queer person. Sometimes being affirmed in the fact that you are allowed to be wrong or change labels is comforting for THOSE people in particular. If someone is sure that they are a lesbian then that message is typically not meant for them. They don't need to be affirmed about potentially being wrong because they aren't wrong. They know who they are so that advice doesn't apply to them.
Like you said when there's a breakup is so painful, and even for us fans watching through our screens, it's sometimes so hard to understand, but what you did here was amazing, it's none of our business, but the kindness you demonstrate towards us feels uplifting, thanks Fran and Ed for sharing this part of your journey, it makes me happy you are now feeling better and in a better and healthier place, thank you 💖
Honestly, I teared up when you started describing the roles you will still fulfill in each others lives. It is not "weird" to break up like this at all: it is an inspiration! Hating your ex is just a way to refrain from feeling the pain and vulnerability.
You guys are such fine, fine people. Talking with each other about things in a clear and caring way like this, truly seeing each other fully. Thank you for sharing with us, and for being such inspiring people. Best vibes going forward 🙏🏼
Mom, Dad...it's okay all of your RUclips children understand and we love you, also Fran you have been with me through a lot (even if I just watch your videos) so I'm here too...also... Yaaaay pride!
I can only imagine how difficult this all was, but seeing you both looking so happy and healthy is so wonderful. Thank you for letting us in when we are not entitled to anything.
Eduardo es un corazón hermoso y deseo lo mejor para él (para ambos) no imagino estar con la persona que amas por 13 años, la ilusión de un bebé, perderlo y luego descubrir que tu esposa es gay. Que gran ser humano.
You two are amazing, what a wonderful example to set, I’m sorry for all the heartache you’ve had to go through to get to this point 🌷🌷🌷 I hope you discover even more of yourselves, and with you guys having each other’s back, you’ll both become stronger than ever 🌷🌷🌷 you are amazing! Xxxx
I've always been surrounded by toxic relationships of all kinds. The way you guys handled this is the most beautiful thing I've seen. It's so inspiring. Thank you for being kind enough to share this part of your private life with us. I wish you both the best in this new journey of your lives.
honestly as someone who's only ever really fallen out with exes for lifestyle differences, hearing you say "being a couple was only one small part of our relationship" meant a Whole lot to hear, and believe me when i say i felt that and understand that completely. if you have a lot of foundation outside of that to move from and you both want the best for each other, of course it's possible to stay friends with people you were with - and tbh, in my experience it's totally worth the effort to still have someone who understands you so well around. anyway this is all to say thank you so much, as always, for your openness, and I wish you all the best in your new lives moving forward with this, whatever that may look like
Se me olvidó decir algo: Ed Pavez, qué buena persona eres. No tiene que ser fácil estar en tu posición,y sin embargo todo lo vuelves sencillo y bonito. Abrazos!!!!
Fran, thank you for trusting this loving community you've built around your art! I've been following your content since the dawn of time and only until this year did I join your Patreon (which was a much more intimate side of your artistic life with the podcasts, patreon exclusive videos, lens, etc...) Even through all the hurdles, you've been such a strong person who understands that healing isn't linear. You and Ed are very much parent figures for this small art community online, and even though you're parting ways as a couple, I know for a fact that we will always support what's best for you two! I'm so happy to know you guys have found different "anchors" of supporting one another outside of the context of a romantic relationship! I'm wishing the best for you both, especially Fran since coming to terms with the fact that you are 🏳️🌈💅🏽✨ is definitely not easy. It takes a lot of trust to feel safe sharing that information with others while navigating that area in your life as you feel it solidifying/understanding the complexities! I realized I wasn't straight back in middle school, which was very frustrating but ultimately liberating as I came to understand myself as a human. You're amazing and we love you both so much!!!! I hope this brings a smile to your day or some comfort if you were feeling nervous about reactions to this video 💘Happy Pride 365~ 🌈✨
just wanted to say that we are sending all our love to both of you! thank you for sharing your life with all of us and wishing you all the best as you embark on this new chapter xx dana & lou
I'm really surprised how well Ed seems to be in peace with the situation? I mean, I understand it had to be a lot for YOU and not to minimise your or anything, I think your dealing is amazing, but I'm just surprised how much your husband seems to be understanding, not eee... sheepish or anything. I think not everyone in his position would be doing so well as he seems to be doing in the video. Best wishes to both of you and good luck
You also have to keep in mind that it's not like he found out she was gay and then they filmed this video immediately after. They've been through therapy, they've processed their respective emotions, and from what they said they were already growing apart emotionally in a romantic sense. Ed also seems like a pretty emotionally mature person. But all that aside, we have to remember that we're seeing the end result of months of work and communication. At this point they've probably both accepted it, so it seems like he had no initial negative reasons or emotional hurt, when that might not be the case at all.
Sending love to both of you. You've been a part of my life through RUclips for years, I've always loved your kindness, the content that you create, the intelligence and integrity that shine through your videos (both of you again). I wish you all the best.💙
I'm in tears because this warms my heart. The maturity of exposing such a personal process and it's been put so beautifully; you didn't have to explain anything yet I hope everybody gets to see this and learn about your graceful family. Thank you!
You talk to each other so beautifully, it's amazing. It doesn't matter what you are to each other - there's a pure respect and I wish more people speak to other people like that. spending love from Poland to both of you (and your cats)!
this is a very mature way to deal with relationships and identities, i can only hope to be like this in my life. i’ve been following this channel for so long, i care a lot about both ed and fran and it’s certainly surprising news but i hope the best for both of you and all support to fran for coming out ❤️🌈
This is perhaps the most healthy de-coupling I've ever heard of.🤔 I love that you two recognize how important you are to each other in other ways, and congrats to both of you on your personal growth journeys. You two set a great example!
You guyyyyys! What a lovely and beautiful coming out Fran! Congrats and the strength of the two of you is palpable! I love how you both came together side by side as humans to respectfully communicate clearly and appropriately! Wow! I didn't know my love and respect for you two could be any greater, but here we are! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Dios mío ustedes tienen la relación más honesta y pura del planeta xD sí, es raro para todo el mundo que ya no sean pareja después de tantos años, pero ahora tienen otro mundo por explorar cada uno :) y que se sigan queriendo así es muy inspirador, los quiero y deseo lo mejor 🖤
No matter how you stay in each others lives it is apparent that the love is there. I like that you are still in sync and laughing together. I wish you both well and I hope that your friendship continues to grow and that you both always cherish it. Good luck on your road to discovering who you are.
Qué bonito ver como el amor incondicional te permite crecer y florecer, sin egoísmo ni limitaciones 💗 Thank you for sharing this with the world, it’s never too late to embrace yourself 🏳️🌈🥰 Un abrazo desde Chilito 🇨🇱
It’s not irreversible. I was sure I was gay, I decided that I am and was confident about it. Later I figured out that I am not. Wether you are doesn’t matter. Just enjoy life and explore, figure things out for yourself. As long as you are happy 😊 It’s heartwarming to hear that you call each other family, still. Hugs to both of you.
I love that you guys can differ a romantic relationship from a friendship. Most romantic relationships begin with friendship and end with mutual hate, but they forget what they had before and end up like two strangers. I love you two!
I went through something very similarly with my ex boyfriend of 10 years. We are still best friends and I’m so proud of that. Our society has kind of trained us to believe that when you break up with someone you hate each other and that’s just not true (in every case). Thank you for sharing with us and congrats Fran on coming out 🌈 ♥️
I didn't come out as a lesbian to the majority of people in my life, including my immediate family, until just a few years ago (I'm 38 now) so I feel like I can relate to the fear of doing that later in life. I was worried about how people would react, if they would walk away from me or hate me, etc. I am happy to say that never happened with those that truly mattered 😊 Whatever happens from here, Fran, just be sure to allow yourself grace and patience to figure it out and find the label that feels right and authentic to you 🌈 💛
Bittersweet news but you both share love for each other. Going seperate ways as friends/family is something great and awesome. You two are just such lovely people. And I'm proud and happy for finding your sexuality, Fran. It's never too late. I'm turning 49 this month and I realized I'm pansexual just last year. Hands down, this was the most lovely, gentle, filled with love, respect, kindness, jokes and honesty break up video I've ever seen. All the best for both of you. And the cats ;-)
It is so lovely that you are both able to respectfully communicate the impact of this significant news to each other, and also remain friends and colleagues. I'm glad you decided to take some time to process it all a little while before sharing it online as well. A lot of people could benefit from thinking and reflecting before posting their news. I wish you both all the best.
There's so much I want to say, such as about the parents and cats thing haha, but it all boils down to MAD LOVE AND RESPECT TO BOTH OF YOU. Thank you for sharing your lives and life lessons with us 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
Good luck to you Ed, what courage you have and how powerful is your love to be there and remain in tact with Fran. I’m glad she has you in her life…..she will need you.
I started watching this video thinking "What?! NOOOOOooooo...", but ended like "Awww!! They are both so nice and mature! And still friends - and family!" love that! It warmed my heart. PS: Moça @Literature-se, não conhecia seu canal! Adorei e já me inscrevi. 📚💛
I already shared my sentiments with you on patreon, but I just wanted to chime in again and say I am so happy for you and proud of you. I know this couldn't be easy, but I am so glad you trust us and are so willing to share your journey with us. I've never had a close connection with my family, but you feel like home and I appreciate this safe space you've created. I am here to support you with all my love. Thank you for being you Fran. I wish you and Ed nothing but happiness and to be able to live your true selves. We love and support both of you unconditionally. Keep moving at the pace that feels most comfortable to you and may you keep inspiring so many more of us! Love you two!
Dearest Fran, I’ve been watching your videos since when you were still living in Berlin and your work has helped me through some pretty tough times. I’m so grateful and I genuinely love you and wish you so much joy and happiness. So proud of you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Love you both so much. You are amazing human beans on amazing journeys and you both deserve the best. I'm so happy you have unearthed this in yourself and are letting it breath. ✿❤
I got the notification and saw the title at work and was so worried. It makes me happy to hear that both of you are ok with the transition that your life has to make now. I think both of you are brave to face the public like this.. much love to both of you!

Creo que es uno de los videos más bonitos que he visto en youtube, con todos los cambios de emociones que tuve durante el transcurso del mismo... los quiero mucho
Oooh Fran! Que bonito que hayan podido despedirse como pareja de la mejor manera posible y que sigan siendo familia, se nota que tienen una relación hermosa y que siempre van a estar el uno para el otro ❤️ Los apoyo y les deseo lo mejor a ambos en todos sus proyectos :)
It is beautiful to see you both so well. I think your friendship is a treasure. No matter you have come out late, Why the rush? You have taken the time to know yourself and have known nice people in the process, that’s great! Feeling good.
Si proud of you guys… it takes a lot of courage to express the way you feel between the 2 of you, and more more on a public platform. I’m sure everyone will wish your the best about each road that you’re gonna take, it I’ll be great. Blessings from Tijuana 💕
6:18 The exact moment of the: true sadness, shame and sorrow hidden in EDs face, trying to pretending don`t care, blinking microexpressions trying not to cry.
My gosh. Couldn’t love and admire you both more. I think to share this with friends and family is hard enough, but to be open and share it online takes a lot. Obviously you’re in a good place mentally if you’re able to share it and I’m glad. I think this helps a lot of people. You are both such beautiful people 💕
I've been following your channel for years now Fran and I just wanted to say I'm so happy for both you and Ed ❤️ you've both come so far and I'm happy to hear you were both able to remain close friends/family. Happy coming out!!🥳
I love you for being a paradigm of civilised people. It's nice to show that to the world. Thank you for sharing your story. Best wishes to both of you!
This is how things end when both hold each other so dear, without needing to crash-test-dummy the relationship up against a wall because you don’t know how to communicate. Very nice to see. Also I was highly confused for 2 years now that my gaydar was THIS off. I‘m pan and normally pretty good at spotting a fellow LGBTQ+ member. 💜 🌈
A couple that even when is no longer a couple, keeps giving lessons about affective responsibility within a couple. LA RAJA, eso son.. juntos y por separado. Gracias por compartirnos su proceso porque de verdad lo apreciamos un montón. P.D. YA QUIERO PODCAST DE NUEVOOOOOO
Brave & beautiful! Thank you for sharing something that is really none of our business so openly, I wish we all were so true with ourselves and each other. Best wishes to you both for healing and new adventures xx
Fran, luv, could you pls talk more about your journey of self discovery?? I think your experience is more common for women than is imagined. I am on the same path! In a patriarchal society lesbianism is basically invisible or is shamed. also all of the socializing girls go through that enforces heteronormity and their reliance / devotion to men!
This was such a beautiful and powerful video. I am humbled and wowed by the maturity and care you have for one another. Truly blown away and impressed. Best of luck to you both in your new areas of exploration in your friendship. And congrats Fran for for coming out !!!!! Happy for you !
Los he seguido por tantos años que siento que my relationship terminó también JAJAJJA, me alegra que los dos se han encontrado aún más a ustedes mismos y espero que esta nueva era de su vida sea mucho mejor de la que ya tenían, les deseo mucho amor como individuos y una relación muy sana como amigos.
So glad you have found a healthy, and joyful, way forward. I was 27 when I came out. Some of us are late bloomers. It's wonderful that you two have your solid friendship and are so supportive of each other.
feels like such a weird comment to be saying this on a “we broke up” kind of video but wow i’m so happy for both of you!!!!!! it’s a really beautiful thing to make it out the other side of a relationship and not have massive animosity between you. also congrats on the gay lmao

It's so beautiful to see two people figuring out what is best for them and supporting each other through it! Fran, I wish you love and beautiful freedom in this next chapter ❤️
First of all I am shook and glad at the same time for both of you. Both of you have been part of my life, our life for years. And as extended family on the internet I support both of you on this journey as a couple once was and as individuals now towards the future 🤗 💗
THE most healthy break-up/coming out video I have ever seen. Ed - you are SO amazing! How lucky is Fran to have you in her life! Fran - You are SO brave to face your sexuality AFTER a heterosexual marriage AND a miscarriage. I wish nothing but happiness to both of you!!
Thank you for the privilege of being a part of both of your journeys. You’re just the most amazing people and deserve nothing but the best in life!👏 ❤️
So happy and supportive of you! Self-work and introspection is tough and gritty stuff, keep being kind on yourself. Thank you for your pride, even if you are still finding footing. Love to see the mutual care and respect you have for one another so gracefully shifting forms. This depth of beautiful friendship is definitely a family connection ❤️
I admire your honesty, it’s so nice that you are still friends. You both are awsome❤️❤️👍 I understand, I’ve been married for 32 years and have four grown children, I know I am gay but it’s frowned upon in my Spanish family, so I got married and had kids like I was supposed to. It’s really hard, but I’m 56 and a breast cancer survivor, my husband has been with me taking care of me so I just can’t ever let anyone know my true feelings. I’m so happy that now young people can be themselves and not worry what anyone thinks, I love you both, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is the cutest public statement about a break up that I have ever seen. You guys have a fantastic comunication. Thank you for share that intimate part of your lives with us.
This was actually a truly heart warming video, if there were such a thing as “break up goals” this would be it! So much empathy and care for each other and the understanding that an important relationship doesn’t have to end just because the people need to go through significant changes. Thank you for sharing lovelies. 💖
Huge kudos to the both of you for bravely and candidly sharing with us your self explorations in your journey together and also as unique individuals! And it’s great that you are both still great friends, and still soulmates with each other, even as you are moving on to experience a new phase of life! Many blessings!
WOW. This is beautiful, refreshing, brave, honest, strong and inspiring in one big truth burrito. This journey can be hard and spooky, but it's so wonderful when you do it. Here's to growth, my friends. Thank you so much for sharing!

honestly as someone who's only ever really fallen out with exes for lifestyle differences, hearing you say "being a couple was only one small part of our relationship" meant a Whole lot to hear, and believe me when i say i felt that and understand that completely. if you have a lot of foundation outside of that to move from and you both want the best for each other, of course it's possible to stay friends with people you were with - and tbh, in my experience it's totally worth the effort to still have someone who understands you so well around. anyway this is all to say thank you so much, as always, for your openness, and I wish you all the best in your new lives moving forward with this, whatever that may look like
I second this!
Se me olvidó decir algo: Ed Pavez, qué buena persona eres. No tiene que ser fácil estar en tu posición,y sin embargo todo lo vuelves sencillo y bonito. Abrazos!!!!
es hermoso♥♥♥
lo quiero mucho :(
Fran, thank you for trusting this loving community you've built around your art! I've been following your content since the dawn of time and only until this year did I join your Patreon (which was a much more intimate side of your artistic life with the podcasts, patreon exclusive videos, lens, etc...) Even through all the hurdles, you've been such a strong person who understands that healing isn't linear. You and Ed are very much parent figures for this small art community online, and even though you're parting ways as a couple, I know for a fact that we will always support what's best for you two! I'm so happy to know you guys have found different "anchors" of supporting one another outside of the context of a romantic relationship! I'm wishing the best for you both, especially Fran since coming to terms with the fact that you are 🏳️🌈💅🏽✨ is definitely not easy. It takes a lot of trust to feel safe sharing that information with others while navigating that area in your life as you feel it solidifying/understanding the complexities! I realized I wasn't straight back in middle school, which was very frustrating but ultimately liberating as I came to understand myself as a human. You're amazing and we love you both so much!!!! I hope this brings a smile to your day or some comfort if you were feeling nervous about reactions to this video 💘Happy Pride 365~ 🌈✨
just wanted to say that we are sending all our love to both of you! thank you for sharing your life with all of us and wishing you all the best as you embark on this new chapter xx dana & lou
thank you guuuuuys!!!!
It’s actually really reassuring to see people break up so amicably, never experienced that myself 😔
Same
I'm really surprised how well Ed seems to be in peace with the situation? I mean, I understand it had to be a lot for YOU and not to minimise your or anything, I think your dealing is amazing, but I'm just surprised how much your husband seems to be understanding, not eee... sheepish or anything. I think not everyone in his position would be doing so well as he seems to be doing in the video. Best wishes to both of you and good luck
for some it might come as a surprise but for many it's like a simmering pot. He seems like a good mature, good hearted person.
You also have to keep in mind that it's not like he found out she was gay and then they filmed this video immediately after. They've been through therapy, they've processed their respective emotions, and from what they said they were already growing apart emotionally in a romantic sense. Ed also seems like a pretty emotionally mature person. But all that aside, we have to remember that we're seeing the end result of months of work and communication. At this point they've probably both accepted it, so it seems like he had no initial negative reasons or emotional hurt, when that might not be the case at all.
Sending love to both of you. You've been a part of my life through RUclips for years, I've always loved your kindness, the content that you create, the intelligence and integrity that shine through your videos (both of you again). I wish you all the best.💙

I'm in tears because this warms my heart. The maturity of exposing such a personal process and it's been put so beautifully; you didn't have to explain anything yet I hope everybody gets to see this and learn about your graceful family. Thank you!
You talk to each other so beautifully, it's amazing. It doesn't matter what you are to each other - there's a pure respect and I wish more people speak to other people like that.
spending love from Poland to both of you (and your cats)!
I cannot express enough just how refreshing and heartwarming you both are. I’m so grateful to be able to witness your beautiful friendship.
this is a very mature way to deal with relationships and identities, i can only hope to be like this in my life. i’ve been following this channel for so long, i care a lot about both ed and fran and it’s certainly surprising news but i hope the best for both of you and all support to fran for coming out ❤️🌈
This is perhaps the most healthy de-coupling I've ever heard of.🤔 I love that you two recognize how important you are to each other in other ways, and congrats to both of you on your personal growth journeys. You two set a great example!
You guyyyyys! What a lovely and beautiful coming out Fran! Congrats and the strength of the two of you is palpable! I love how you both came together side by side as humans to respectfully communicate clearly and appropriately! Wow! I didn't know my love and respect for you two could be any greater, but here we are! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
The fact that you are able to still be part of each other’s lives is beautiful. You guys clearly built a deep and strong love.
Fran te queremos y apoyamos! Ed eres un gran ser humano, de verdad. Felicidades por ser quienes son.
You two prove that love is elastic and even with changes that stretch the meaning of love it doesn't snap.
Dios mío ustedes tienen la relación más honesta y pura del planeta xD sí, es raro para todo el mundo que ya no sean pareja después de tantos años, pero ahora tienen otro mundo por explorar cada uno :) y que se sigan queriendo así es muy inspirador, los quiero y deseo lo mejor 🖤
No matter how you stay in each others lives it is apparent that the love is there. I like that you are still in sync and laughing together. I wish you both well and I hope that your friendship continues to grow and that you both always cherish it. Good luck on your road to discovering who you are.
The world would be a better place if there were more ppl like you two
Qué bonito ver como el amor incondicional te permite crecer y florecer, sin egoísmo ni limitaciones 💗 Thank you for sharing this with the world, it’s never too late to embrace yourself 🏳️🌈🥰 Un abrazo desde Chilito 🇨🇱
You beautiful, wise, evolved souls. I wish nothing but the best for you both! You alchemized love and it is a great inspiration.
I’m not crying. You’re crying!!! This level of maturity, I aspire.
It’s not irreversible. I was sure I was gay, I decided that I am and was confident about it. Later I figured out that I am not. Wether you are doesn’t matter. Just enjoy life and explore, figure things out for yourself. As long as you are happy 😊 It’s heartwarming to hear that you call each other family, still. Hugs to both of you.
@@icekng456 thank you so much for this comment, it really helped clear my mind!
The self-awareness from both of you is admirable.
I love that you guys can differ a romantic relationship from a friendship. Most romantic relationships begin with friendship and end with mutual hate, but they forget what they had before and end up like two strangers.
I love you two!
floored by how amazing you have navigated this change in your relationship together, you are wonderful people who deserve so much happiness 💗
I went through something very similarly with my ex boyfriend of 10 years. We are still best friends and I’m so proud of that. Our society has kind of trained us to believe that when you break up with someone you hate each other and that’s just not true (in every case). Thank you for sharing with us and congrats Fran on coming out 🌈 ♥️
I didn't come out as a lesbian to the majority of people in my life, including my immediate family, until just a few years ago (I'm 38 now) so I feel like I can relate to the fear of doing that later in life. I was worried about how people would react, if they would walk away from me or hate me, etc. I am happy to say that never happened with those that truly mattered 😊 Whatever happens from here, Fran, just be sure to allow yourself grace and patience to figure it out and find the label that feels right and authentic to you 🌈 💛
Bittersweet news but you both share love for each other. Going seperate ways as friends/family is something great and awesome. You two are just such lovely people. And I'm proud and happy for finding your sexuality, Fran. It's never too late. I'm turning 49 this month and I realized I'm pansexual just last year.
Hands down, this was the most lovely, gentle, filled with love, respect, kindness, jokes and honesty break up video I've ever seen. All the best for both of you. And the cats ;-)
It is so lovely that you are both able to respectfully communicate the impact of this significant news to each other, and also remain friends and colleagues. I'm glad you decided to take some time to process it all a little while before sharing it online as well. A lot of people could benefit from thinking and reflecting before posting their news. I wish you both all the best.
There's so much I want to say, such as about the parents and cats thing haha, but it all boils down to MAD LOVE AND RESPECT TO BOTH OF YOU. Thank you for sharing your lives and life lessons with us 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
Good luck to you Ed, what courage you have and how powerful is your love to be there and remain in tact with Fran. I’m glad she has you in her life…..she will need you.
OMG guys you are so so so awesome! Tks for sharing this with us, for the trust. I am genuinely happy you are okay! All my ❤️🌈
I started watching this video thinking "What?! NOOOOOooooo...", but ended like "Awww!! They are both so nice and mature! And still friends - and family!" love that! It warmed my heart.
PS: Moça @Literature-se, não conhecia seu canal! Adorei e já me inscrevi. 📚💛
I cried a little. Such strength for two beautiful people!!! Thank you so much for sending us your message
I already shared my sentiments with you on patreon, but I just wanted to chime in again and say I am so happy for you and proud of you. I know this couldn't be easy, but I am so glad you trust us and are so willing to share your journey with us.
I've never had a close connection with my family, but you feel like home and I appreciate this safe space you've created. I am here to support you with all my love. Thank you for being you Fran.
I wish you and Ed nothing but happiness and to be able to live your true selves. We love and support both of you unconditionally. Keep moving at the pace that feels most comfortable to you and may you keep inspiring so many more of us!
Love you two!
Dearest Fran, I’ve been watching your videos since when you were still living in Berlin and your work has helped me through some pretty tough times. I’m so grateful and I genuinely love you and wish you so much joy and happiness. So proud of you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
You two have a stronger bond and much more respect towards each other than a lot of people in an ordinary "love relationship". 💞
Love you both so much. You are amazing human beans on amazing journeys and you both deserve the best. I'm so happy you have unearthed this in yourself and are letting it breath. ✿❤
Im really impressed how you handled the situation. Very grown up thinking.
I got the notification and saw the title at work and was so worried. It makes me happy to hear that both of you are ok with the transition that your life has to make now. I think both of you are brave to face the public like this.. much love to both of you!
Creo que es uno de los videos más bonitos que he visto en youtube, con todos los cambios de emociones que tuve durante el transcurso del mismo... los quiero mucho
It sounds like you both are wonderful people and willing to see each other Grow...and want the best for one another...Awesome.
Oooh Fran! Que bonito que hayan podido despedirse como pareja de la mejor manera posible y que sigan siendo familia, se nota que tienen una relación hermosa y que siempre van a estar el uno para el otro ❤️ Los apoyo y les deseo lo mejor a ambos en todos sus proyectos :)
It is beautiful to see you both so well. I think your friendship is a treasure. No matter you have come out late, Why the rush? You have taken the time to know yourself and have known nice people in the process, that’s great! Feeling good.
Y"all are incredible. This was none of our business. At the same time, you are showing people how to show up in the world. Much love to both of you!
Si proud of you guys… it takes a lot of courage to express the way you feel between the 2 of you, and more more on a public platform. I’m sure everyone will wish your the best about each road that you’re gonna take, it I’ll be great. Blessings from Tijuana 💕
6:18 The exact moment of the: true sadness, shame and sorrow hidden in EDs face, trying to pretending don`t care, blinking microexpressions trying not to cry.
My gosh. Couldn’t love and admire you both more. I think to share this with friends and family is hard enough, but to be open and share it online takes a lot. Obviously you’re in a good place mentally if you’re able to share it and I’m glad. I think this helps a lot of people. You are both such beautiful people 💕
I've been following your channel for years now Fran and I just wanted to say I'm so happy for both you and Ed ❤️ you've both come so far and I'm happy to hear you were both able to remain close friends/family. Happy coming out!!🥳
I love you for being a paradigm of civilised people. It's nice to show that to the world. Thank you for sharing your story. Best wishes to both of you!
This is how things end when both hold each other so dear, without needing to crash-test-dummy the relationship up against a wall because you don’t know how to communicate. Very nice to see. Also I was highly confused for 2 years now that my gaydar was THIS off. I‘m pan and normally pretty good at spotting a fellow LGBTQ+ member. 💜 🌈
nice to find you together and to know that you are taking different paths, staying together. a big hug and good luck
A couple that even when is no longer a couple, keeps giving lessons about affective responsibility within a couple. LA RAJA, eso son.. juntos y por separado. Gracias por compartirnos su proceso porque de verdad lo apreciamos un montón. P.D. YA QUIERO PODCAST DE NUEVOOOOOO
Brave & beautiful! Thank you for sharing something that is really none of our business so openly, I wish we all were so true with ourselves and each other. Best wishes to you both for healing and new adventures xx
Fran, luv, could you pls talk more about your journey of self discovery?? I think your experience is more common for women than is imagined. I am on the same path! In a patriarchal society lesbianism is basically invisible or is shamed. also all of the socializing girls go through that enforces heteronormity and their reliance / devotion to men!
You both are so relaxed, it is nice to watch. You seem relieved. Nice humans...
I'm so proud of you guys, you are an example of a good relationship that goes beyond the social precepts. I've learned so much from you.
This was such a beautiful and powerful video. I am humbled and wowed by the maturity and care you have for one another. Truly blown away and impressed. Best of luck to you both in your new areas of exploration in your friendship. And congrats Fran for for coming out !!!!! Happy for you !
This journey of being human is quite a trip. Wishing you both the best as your relationship continues to evolve! 💕🌈
😮 damn. You guys just taught hundreds of people that this is something to strive for. I love you two.
Los he seguido por tantos años que siento que my relationship terminó también JAJAJJA, me alegra que los dos se han encontrado aún más a ustedes mismos y espero que esta nueva era de su vida sea mucho mejor de la que ya tenían, les deseo mucho amor como individuos y una relación muy sana como amigos.
So glad you have found a healthy, and joyful, way forward. I was 27 when I came out. Some of us are late bloomers. It's wonderful that you two have your solid friendship and are so supportive of each other.
feels like such a weird comment to be saying this on a “we broke up” kind of video but wow i’m so happy for both of you!!!!!! it’s a really beautiful thing to make it out the other side of a relationship and not have massive animosity between you. also congrats on the gay lmao
It's so beautiful to see two people figuring out what is best for them and supporting each other through it! Fran, I wish you love and beautiful freedom in this next chapter ❤️
You guys are amazing! I have so much admiration. Wish you nothing but the best. Congrats on coming out 😊😊❤️❤️
First of all I am shook and glad at the same time for both of you. Both of you have been part of my life, our life for years. And as extended family on the internet I support both of you on this journey as a couple once was and as individuals now towards the future 🤗 💗
THE most healthy break-up/coming out video I have ever seen.
Ed - you are SO amazing! How lucky is Fran to have you in her life!
Fran - You are SO brave to face your sexuality AFTER a heterosexual marriage AND a miscarriage.
I wish nothing but happiness to both of you!!
Thank you for the privilege of being a part of both of your journeys. You’re just the most amazing people and deserve nothing but the best in life!👏 ❤️
Anarquía relacional, que le llaman. Saber que el amor no solo es la monogamía, el amor es la amistad y mucho más. Se les aprecia
So happy and supportive of you! Self-work and introspection is tough and gritty stuff, keep being kind on yourself. Thank you for your pride, even if you are still finding footing. Love to see the mutual care and respect you have for one another so gracefully shifting forms. This depth of beautiful friendship is definitely a family connection ❤️
I admire your honesty, it’s so nice that you are still friends. You both are awsome❤️❤️👍 I understand, I’ve been married for 32 years and have four grown children, I know I am gay but it’s frowned upon in my Spanish family, so I got married and had kids like I was supposed to. It’s really hard, but I’m 56 and a breast cancer survivor, my husband has been with me taking care of me so I just can’t ever let anyone know my true feelings. I’m so happy that now young people can be themselves and not worry what anyone thinks, I love you both, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥺😢
Is the cutest public statement about a break up that I have ever seen. You guys have a fantastic comunication. Thank you for share that intimate part of your lives with us.
This was actually a truly heart warming video, if there were such a thing as “break up goals” this would be it! So much empathy and care for each other and the understanding that an important relationship doesn’t have to end just because the people need to go through significant changes. Thank you for sharing lovelies. 💖
Huge kudos to the both of you for bravely and candidly sharing with us your self explorations in your journey together and also as unique individuals! And it’s great that you are both still great friends, and still soulmates with each other, even as you are moving on to experience a new phase of life! Many blessings!
He is such a good man! He is going to make a woman really happy one day!
There is absolutely no shame in coming out later in life, I'm so proud of you Fran! 💕 I admire both of you
I've never felt so understood with this whole dinamic. It makes so much sense.
WOW. This is beautiful, refreshing, brave, honest, strong and inspiring in one big truth burrito. This journey can be hard and spooky, but it's so wonderful when you do it. Here's to growth, my friends. Thank you so much for sharing!
The future looks bright for both of you. Filled with rainbows and life changes. All the best in continuing your journey.
