Ex FWB?


Recommended Posts

Maybe I should have posted this here.. I'm sure I won't get any responses here either, worth a I guess.

 

My ex and I have been hanging out since we broke up about a year ago. We both moved home from school for good and live very close. I am not in love with him anymore and just enjoy his company. We hang out maybe once a week.

 

I've always heard that FWB is no good because someone always ends up developing feelings and the other may not so of course that just leads to problems. I figure that would definitely happen if the two have previously been in a relationship...

 

It's been about a month since we have been FWB and I'm not sure what to expect, if anything. I like the way things are and am not looking to be in a relationship. I don't think he is either because he spends a lot of time with his friends and way less with me, but when we are together he acts like when we were dating so I'm kinda of confused.. I don't want to just ask him so maybe there are some signs I can look for?!

 

If you have any advice at all I'd really appreciate it! Share from past experiences or whatever, I would love to read!

With your ex, its a little different because there are already feelings that will always be there.

 

For some people, its just easier to have a FWB type relationship with their ex's because they're already sexually compatible and regardless of feelings both sides can acknowledge that a relationship previously didn't work.

Why don't you want to ask him?

Thank you for your post, that makes sense now.

 

 

Why don't you want to ask him?

 

I don't think I really want to know how he feels, I don't want to hear him actually say that he just wants to be FWB but I also don't want to hear that he wants to get back together. I would just rather it be unspoken (like currently) but mutually what I want even though I know that is selfish.

That is why I was a little concerned about him acting like we are dating, and we were around his friends. But like you said maybe because there are those feelings that will always be there?
