ELI5 - the full relationship between Jean-Luc Picard and Beverly Crusher.
gpt
They met when they were younger. Picard and Jack Crusher were friends and Crusher was dating Beverly Howard. Picard liked her, but she was off limits. When Picard was the Captain of the Stargazer, Jack was killed and Picard had to tell Beverly that it was his fault. This made her even more off limits. When she came to work on the Enterprise, they had a few 'will they or won't they' episodes, but in the end decided to remain friends, although in an alternate future, they had married and divorced (All Good Things). In the books they are currently married and expecting a baby.
