Do I just need a FWB?

[sunnysideup7]

I’m 29 and just got out of a very emotionally abusive relationship.4 years on and off and lots of pain and loss of self esteem in between. There’s lots of things I feel I need to sort out in my personal life including finances and gaining back my self confidence so I don’t really feel ready to date seriously at the moment but I miss intimacy. I would rather a FWB without the sex as I don’t like being sexual with someone just for the sake of it and without a true without a connection but I do feel I just need some lighthearted fun in my life again after everything I’ve just been through.

Do you think a FWB is a good idea?

I understand what you mean but I don't think you'd be able to find someone who just wants a cuddle and nothing else unfortunately. The point of a fwb is the sex.

Sounds like you need a good friend to me

Agree with Allstar.
The point of an FWB is the sex. You can still have a good connection and affection with it.

I think you'll struggle to find a man who just wants a companion, and a bit unfair to want cuddles and no more really. That said, fwb shouldn't mean sex ever time you meet, that would be a fuck buddy.

Agree with Allstar14. Whole point of FWB is the sex. Maybe just wait a while until you get back out there.

*a FWB

Your looking for a F not a FWB

Haha very true 🙈 I kind of realised maybe not the best option for me when I finished writing the post! Sex on its own just doesn’t interested me I was thinking more along the lines of a ‘relationship’ but without the actual relationship part 😂!

Think it’s best to wait until I’m actually ready to date again ;)

Yeh that wouldn’t work. Not many men would stick around when they realise you don’t actually want sex 😂
