FWB - Am I doing it right?

How does this work? I've always been an all or nothing girl.
I like it. We text / talk, make plans. Sometimes he cooks, sometimes me. The occasional take away or meal out. Sex always happens and I'm not complaining! He leaves in the morning after breakfast. And I'm happy to spend the rest of my time catching up with friends and random jobs. This is what fwb is for?

if you're happy and he's happy then it sounds perfect.

Are you upper middle class?

I think it sounds more like a sexual relationship than FWB, but does it matter? If you're both happy with the arrangement, does it really need a label?

Sound ok to me. Just keep the lines of communication open as to what both your expectations are and how you are feeling. FWB can slide into a situationship without too much more emotional attachment and people can be happy doing that for significant periods of time. Just do what works for you both.

Sounds like my FWB set up.
Neither of us can do real 'relationships' so this is what we do in the meantime.
I like the sex and companionship.
It's a lot less expensive and disappointing than dating randoms!

If it works for you both then enjoy it.

Probably solid middle class, if it matters.
Thanks for the feedback - I think if it's fun, we keep on.
