#formsprings

Okay, I see where you're coming from, but as someone who's been in the phandom for almost ten years, and has watched just about every single video they've ever been in and has done multiple deep dives into their digital footprint...

Lemme start by saying, yea, sometimes the banter can be a little discomforting to watch in video just bc of it getting a bit mean sometimes, but for the most part, it is just that: banter. Dan has stated multiple times that he's just joking with Phil, and Phil knows that, otherwise I don't think he would have chosen to stay with Dan for 15 years, convinced Dan to move into their forever home together, and then convinced Dan to come back to the Gaming channel if Dan actually bothered him.

But going back to the romantic/sexual relationship of it all. It's just a fact that they've been romantically and sexually involved with each other, at least at the very start of their relationship. There are formsprings, tweets, and a particular video which allude to this dynamic of their relationship, and with the latest AmazingPhil video of them claiming to "not be qualified" to give advice on a break-up, I think it's probably safe to say that they've probably never stopped being romantically/sexually involved with each other (except maybe for a bit in 2012).

Also, at this point, it just doesn't make sense for them to be making so many important life choices together if they weren't a couple. If they're both single, it would be pretty hard for either of them to bring a date home to the forever home and digital empire they've built together.
