Established M/M Couples
Though seeing romance blossom is enjoyable, it's also nice to see what happens once people are in a romantic relationship. These are a few established relationships that I've seen out of hundreds of series/movies.
-
1. One Afternoon

a lovely short movie, the focus is on the family dynamics

the focus is not on their romance, it's more on the cases and the lawyer's relationship with his sister/niece
-
4. Between Complete and Incomplete

Four established couples (one is m/m), go thru realistic and rarely discussed struggles, on Viki.
