I've fallen for my FWB

Hey, im new here and need some advice lol!

So i met this guy in my early 20s (im now 30) and he will be soon. We met off some dating site and literally lived down the road from one another. It was purely sex back then. The sex was just sex (wham bam thankyou mam) he was a bit of a bad boy, had alot of energy in him and I knew I wasnt the only girl he was seeing. I did like him back then, but never said anything.
Fast forward to when I was 26, we were still sleeping with eachother but it ended when i got in a relationship. We didnt have any contact.
3 years later, that relationship ended and moved about 10 mins up the road from him. I found myself back on that dating site and found him on there. We started messaging again. He was also coming out of a messy relationship. Within weeks, he was coming back round for sex.

We've never spoken about 'what this is'. But it generally feels different. Hes alot more calmer, almost like a different person, like hes grown up a bit. At first, it was just really good sex. We'd hook up when we could (when my housemate wasn't home) but just recently, the sex has changed. Its slowed right now, almost like making love. He pleases me like no other man has and I cannot get enough of him. We seem to have a routine when he comes over; i make us lunch, we hang out in bed watching films and chatting about life, we have mindblowing sex, we hang out some more and he goes home. It's now been 8 months and today he came over when my housemate was in and he shook her hand and said hello lol. I've been feeling like this for a while and once did send him a text about it which he read but never replied to :(
He calls me beautiful to my face, passionately kisses me when he leaves. Hes polite and charming and ticks all the right boxes. But today, he asked me twice whats on my mind as im quiet. "So come on, tell me what's up. Why don't you just tell me?" It's like he knows what I wanna say, but im too much of a coward to say it.
On the one hand, i just wanna tell him Im head over heels for him but there's the fear of rejection. 2) I dont want it to be awkward, if he doesn't like me in the same way, atleast I'd know and to be honest, don't want to lose out on the sex!

Someone help me out here! Do I bite the bullet, tell him and risk it all, or do I just suck up it and enjoy having multiple orgasms lmao!!?

He feels entitled to use women.

He was never honest with you.

He said you were exclusive.

He is not your friend.

But you want to stay friends with him.

You call her naive or stupid. Wouldn't that make you naive or stupid too?

He isn't your friend. You are not his friend if you didn't know he had a girlfriend and is going to be a father. Their friends will know all about that.
The best case scenario is that you were using each other, worst case is that he used you. Get the friendship notion out of your head or you're in dangerous 'other woman' deluded territory.

She's no more naive or stupid than anyone else being strung along by a dishonest partner in this situation. Hopefully it's just because you're feeling hurt that you're acting as if you are superior and judging his girlfriend. Does it make you naive or stupid that you thought that crumbs like watching films in bed must've meant something? There's nothing wrong with either of you - it's all on him this. And he's no friend to either of you.

I really do feel your pain!! I used to see a guy a FWB and I got feelings for him and then when I displayed this to him he backed off and go back with his girlfriend! Then recently after coming out of a relationship myself I started seeing him again, he told me he backed off before cause he had feelings! We’ve been getting on so well then one night when I was drunk I told him and next day BOOM he cut me off AGAIN!! It really has messed with my head and upset me a lot but do you know what? Your better off out of it now than later.. but believe me I know how much it hurts!

You meet your friends' girlfriends. You don't lie to them for months.

He isn't your friend
