Was this an FWB offer?

Confused male here seeking guidance regarding chat with woman acquaintance I had recently. I have known her for a number of years through a third party and we get on ok. In chatting she mentioned some bloke she met off the internet who was just after sex she reckoned.
Then she asked me if I had seen the film FWB. She went on to say that she had needs as well but only Mr Right would do.
I am in a long term sexless marriage and I believe she may know I am not getting any sex at home my OH seems quite happy to broadcast the fact that she has lost interest.
Not sure if my mind is playing tricks through deprivation, should I just ignore our conversation?

Of course you should. You are married ffs! If lack of sex is a deal breaker in your marriage, leave your wife and start having sex. If not, ignore this woman, unless your wife is happy for you to sleep around and is in the loop.

I think it was just the opposite. She's not looking for a FWB, she's looking for Mr Right, ie A Relationship. Sorry, but she was probably trying to let you know that although she likes you - it's not in that way.

Forget the "offer", could be, could not be, doesnt really matter.

Why are you staying in a marriage that clearly makes you unhappy to the point where you are wondering about whether you should look elsewhere? Why are you staying in a marriage where your wife is happy to tell anyone and everyone that sex is off the agenda?

Do you and your DW love each other? Have fun together? If not then I think you need to question whether you should be staying with her....

Jesus Christ - what is it with the men on Mumsnet?

Um, maybe try sorting out your marriage first?!

MaudeLebowski · 12/03/2015 22:58

I'd interpret your conversation as her acknowledging her sex drive, but saying that she wasn't willing to indulge it outside of a serious relationship.

Get over yourself, sort your marriage out, and stop reading what you want to read from other people.

What's that supposed to mean?

CupidStuntSurvivor · 13/03/2015 00:48

She's actually telling you (quite bluntly I feel) that she's not looking for a FWB situation but rather wants a relationship. And she's probably only telling you that in the context of a conversation explaining why she turned down a previous offer rather than her saying she likes you. Don't be the married guy actively looking to cheat and seeing offers everywhere.

Have you given her the impression you are interested in her? Because it sounds like she is telling you, in a round about way, that she is not interested in you.

Why complicate life further, focus on your situation at home.
