FB closure?

6 replies

Runforthehills21 · 08/02/2019 11:31

Seem to have got a long-standing FB situation that I may need help with - or not! He has most recently had a lot of the control in terms of making the arrangements, which has been probably not been ideal I suppose! He's not initiated contact in a couple of weeks (last saw him 3w ago to meet up), unless it's in reply to any messages that I send - we generally have occasionally commented on our days and our pictures (we are friends on social media) outside the sex arrangements.

So I'm a bit shy about reaching out and asking if he is free if he has no interest anymore in carrying on the arrangement. For closure do I send a message asking if things have come to an end? I'd just rather know one way or another, because I feel a bit hanging waiting around otherwise. Obviously, I'd also be a bit gutted because it worked well and I liked the guy but I'd rather know.

What do you suggest? Or shall I just leave it and assume no contact from him is my answer?

"Hey, I feel like we haven't spoken in ages! What are you up to these days?"

When this happened with my FWB it turned out he had met someone new and wanted a monogamish relationship with her, so prepare yourself emotionally to hear that.

I'm not sure that's a leading enough question tbh! Or that he'd answer with the info I need.

If you arent getting anything out of it, why can't you end it?

If you feel you can't, just ask him out right. Any vague question may not make it clearer. If you want closure, you need to be upfront and direct.

Ok, I guess direct is the way to go. Still feel a bit shy about being direct and asking for some reason, I know I shouldn't. I am prepared emotionally to get turned down but it would just be nice to know where I stand as I stupidly feel in a bit of a limbo otherwise.
