Play Still over it by summer Walker. Cry. Then play some tunes to make you feel good about yourself and find a new one. Don’t dwell. Their loss.

Not a FWB if you’re caught the feels.

Maybe that’s the issue.

In my experience, FWB usually becomes a one sided relationship where one party tends to have feelings that the other party doesn't.

As the cliche dictates, time is the best healer.

Been there before too. Often it’s hard to filter feelings from the fun and unless you face into it early it’s hard to recover. My advice, move on. If they want you they’ll find a way to reach out again x

From the other side, I let my FWB go after 5 years last year because she was becoming a little bit clingy.

You have to move on. But I guess that is easier if you're the one who wants to move it on.

Hope you move on ok. But you need to chat to him to find out what his reason is I guess.

Be kind to yourself, we have no control over feelings, or who we get them for, try not to beat yourself up for being human....

I'd rather not chat to him or ask him why or any of that tbh I just let him go.

Sorry you're hurting, OP.

Take the time you need to be kind to yourself, and try not to hang on or to wait for them to change their mind. But mostly... be kind to you.

I’m sure he also doesn’t want you to push more.

If he would want to be back he would already come back. But you should just let him know that you are leaving him alone because you think he wants this. You don’t leave him alone because you don’t care.

I think it's ok to have feelings. Some people are just built that way and I feel like the risk to reward ratio makes it worth it.

I'd rather keep my heart open and experience all the benefits of that closeness rather than loose the intimacy I feel with those I'm closest too. I choose that even though I know these things can't let forever.

Give the feelings their due. Sit with it for as long as it's needed and then go and fuck someone really hot. You'll have earned it.

Rebound sex. Hi, how's it going?

But seriously, I'm sorry to hear that OP and I'm not entirely sure what can make the pain go away quickly. I would say try to be kind to yourself and not overthink what you could've done or still could do. Sometimes people drift apart and it's important you focus on what you want right now and hopefully that'll go some way towards your healing

Don’t be annoyed with yourself. Why?

You only shown yourself you have emotions, you shown them they are lovely enough for someone to care as much as you did.

It just happened that you both ended up in different places during your journey.

It hurts to lose a friend. Even one you weren’t fucking. Not everything has to be about romance, y’know. Friendships are still relationships between two people, and it still sucks when they end.

Sounds like it's developed into something more than FWB.

Sounds a bit harsh but that's probably why he has distanced himself from you.

Give them sometime and just see what happens.

Hope it works out for you.

It's you who is short sighted my friend. Just because you are attractive on the eye doesn't mean you're interesting. Hot people get dumped all the time.

Not aimed at OP. Just to prevent anyone getting upset and the White Knights gathering their posse to hunt the fox down.

What is the difference between a fb and a fwb, quite a lot and people get attached even end up living or getting married to fwb. He doesn't deserve your tears, your gorgeous would not take you long to find someone decent.

For me a Fuck Buddy is a convenience for both and it's just about sex.

Friend with benefits and the clue is in the title. Friendship, pubs, chat.

Clearly the line can be a blurry one. A scale perhaps. A FB could mean a bit more to some and a FWB less to others.

My opinion I guess.

I mean, there's not much detail here.

Sick of you in what way? What did you actually do to earn the negativity? Can you be honest about it?

You're both adults, these mind games of ignoring the elephant in the room are childish. He might want to hear you have feelings. Better out than ignored.

I was just about to add my thoughts and then saw your update. I'm pleased that you contacted him and you both understand the situation better.

I'm sure it still hurts as it does when emotions are involved, but when you have met someone for sex, you do get fond of them. It would be pretty tricky not to have some connection. I guess the more you hurt, means the closer you were.

Look after yourself while you recover.

Being Poly this is a huge problem for me and I can catch the feels very easily. Some people truly get to me and I can get hurt.

Wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China.

OP you have my sympathies, cry it out, get some great sex inside you, then see about a new FWB.

Good friends are very hard to come by.

Hope things work out and you regain his friendship.

Talk things out and see how to sort out the underlying issues.

It’s now clear that you value him more than for only sex.

I don’t know the background, maybe he is married, so thought it best to stop things getting messy since you have fallen in love.

It’s awful to see a few odd ones trying get some kind of sex (oral, etc) from you while you are hurting. How desperate can one be?

Strangely I agree; in part. The most beautiful woman I ever dated was also the most self-centered and vacuous. She appeared to believe her looks would overcome everything; they didn't and I ended it after just 2 boring months.

However, the OP is hurting after being dumped. I simply wanted to reasure her that she looks great and she should be able to find a new FWB with ease. Whether it lasts will depend on both of them.

There is a chemical reaction that happens to women when they have sex that makes catching feelings far more likely. Still sucks when it happens and more so when it goes sideways.

I say this to remind you that it's not your fault and not to beat yourself up about it. Hope it helps.
