Women are much more emotional. I reckon they DO get emotionally involved. And then if the guy ditches them - ow, it really must hurt. Why on earth would some of you set yourselves up for this possibility/ probability? Weird

Sweeping generalisations are nonsense.

Must be great to be untroubled by such base emotions as envy jealousy. Unburdened by any ego or desire to be wanted, unphased to be wanted less than another etc

Of course it is Grin

Anyone care to share how a FWB thing came to an end?

Form an orderly queue....

Bet the guy finds someone younger or more alluring - though it is hard to imagine young and/or alluring women doing this sort of stuff.

Yeah he might. As might I.

Nice innuendo again there though. Wink

Sweeping generalisations can be very annoying in some situations. However, I think in this particular situation they dirt the bill.

SilentIsla · 18/10/2018 18:52

...fit the bill

JacquesHammer · 18/10/2018 18:52

SilentIsla

So you can categorically say - and back up with fact - that all women get emotional and attached?

Cool story.

RebelWitchFace · 18/10/2018 18:53

@SilentIsla

One I started a relationship with someone else, another he started a relationship with someone else the other two it wasn't convenient anymore,mostly because of location.

SilentIsla · 18/10/2018 18:54

No one willling to enlighten us all about the end of one of those arrangements?

Looks like there isn’t a queue after all. Pity. Honesty would have been good.

SilentIsla · 18/10/2018 18:54

Most women are more emotional than the man FWB. Of course!

SilentIsla · 18/10/2018 18:55

Thank you, Rebel.

JacquesHammer · 18/10/2018 18:56

Silent when it happens I’ll be sure to fill you in.

Most women are more emotional than the man FWB. Of course!

Now we’ve discussed the word most haven’t we?

You know when situations made us reasses our marriage and realise it was time for it to be over, I very much included in that a reassessment of my life, which included the realisation I wasn’t cut out for a “conventional” relationship.

SilentIsla · 18/10/2018 19:01

Thanks, JaquesH.

Thenewdoctor · 18/10/2018 19:02

I’m a lot less emotional than Mr FTF in general.

I don’t think that particular generalisation stands up tbh.

SilentIsla · 18/10/2018 19:02

Oops

*Jacques

Oops*

Happens very regularly Smile

Keep wondering about small amendment to Jack.

lornar123 · 18/10/2018 19:46

I don't think you're cut out for them either Jacques, given your complete lack of a whole plethora of human emotion.

JacquesHammer · 18/10/2018 19:49

I don't think you're cut out for them either Jacques, given your complete lack of a whole plethora of human emotion

Grin

So because I feel differently from you on the subject of relationships, I’m a defective human being?

Have you got kids Lornar123? Family? I have perfectly normal relationships with them. With my friends. With work colleagues.

It’s very silly to assume isn’t it?

JacquesHammer · 18/10/2018 19:54

But you see the thing is, you seem to think you’re cut out for relationships and yet....how’s that working out for you?

lornar123 · 18/10/2018 19:59

So because I've been single for a month out of my adult life....

Fifithefoof · 18/10/2018 20:19

Ahhhhh it's only been a month? All is suddenly clearer ladies and gents!

Fifithefoof · 18/10/2018 20:20

Would be a good t shirt - lacking a whole plethora of human emotion.

Anyone care to share how a FWB thing came to an end?

Well as I said upthread mine was at the end of my final year at uni, and we were both going different places and wanted different things. We visited each other a couple of times over the next 6 months and had fantastic sex but then I met DH so the arrangement came to an end.

PreseaCombatir · 18/10/2018 21:50

So you’ve only managed to be without a man for a month of your adult life? You sound like you need a man to validate you, a man to ‘make you feel special’.
I’ve been in a comitted relationship for over 10 years, and I live DH very much. But he doesn’t define me, I’m special without him my confidence comes from me, not him.
