Have feelings for my friend with benefits :(?

I have been seeing someone for six years as an FWB and we are close, too. But we aren't in our 20's and neither of us are seeing a live-in or marital companion, so it works or us. At your age, if you would like to seek a life partner, this arrangement you're in may not be the best for you.

Whatever you decide, i wish you the best!

one of the downsides of FWB;s

So what are you? It doesn't sound like you're lovers, just "friends" who sometimes sleep together. When you start demanding more from men you will get it. This is going nowhere and you should move on.

You already know that he doesn't want a relationship. You already know that he's not in love with you. You already know that he's sleeping with other girls. I think the best thing for you to do is end it now. You will only end up with a broken heart if you stay FWB. But I think that you already know that.

He's getting sex when it suits, without the complications of a relationship. You WANT us to believe that there is more to this than there actually is. You want a boyfriend, he wants sex, and you provide it. I've read your earlier questions about this man, and you SO SO SO want to believe he has feelings for you, but you are just a convenient habit for him, and he is someone you are clinging to hoping it will develop into something stronger. Listen, when this guy is ready to settle down, it won't be with a girl who is desperate enough to be used like you... he will look for someone with self respect and dignity.

If you aren't seeing anyone else besides him, then your relationship is more like romance than a friend with benefits relationship.

Because people naturally get attached, when they are in an exclusive relationship, and they are having sex with each other.

Just because you call it a friend with benefits relationship doesn't make it so. What really matters is how you do it in practice. And in practice, you have an exclusive sexual relationship. Which is the same as romance. And that's why it affects you this way.

You need to be involved with at least two guys at the same time to avoid the kind of problem you have. Because having more than one guy prevents you from getting strongly attached to any one of them.
