It wasn’t just lesbian relationships. Pretty much any gay/lesbian relationship when written about by historians calls them roommates or very close friends or some bullshit like that

I had only seen it in the context of lesbian relationships till now (multiple times, not just a couple of times), and didn’t want to assume.
