Embarrassed by FWB

206 replies

NC for this as don't want linking to my other threads.

I've had a FWB set up with a man over the last 2 years. Fairly infrequent/irregular at times but it suited us both.

Both very much on the same page, strictly for fun, we chat about everyday life etc but no emotional attachment. I do like him, I'm not in love with him.

Recently we've started to expand our repertoire, talking about fantasies etc. Decided to go with one of his fantasies recently.

It was quite in-depth, specific and needed a bit of preparation on my behalf. But I was interested and keen to go ahead.

So preparation done; on the day he decided he's not feeling it blah blah blah maybe another time Confused.

I was so embarrassed, I was meeting him for no strings sex and he turned me down when I got there Blush

I know it's over, my self esteem has taken a bit of a hit. But am I being unfair? I know he has the right to change his mind but I was actually there when he decided no Blush.

I was petty turned heel and walked as fast as my legs could carry me and didn't respond to his following message that "he feels really bad..." oh god the shame of his pity Sad.

Not sure what I want maybe just to get it off my chest really, can't talk IRL about this as my friends don't know I have/had this set up as I feel a bit judged.

Would love to block him and never cast eyes on him again, but we cross paths regularly and I need to style this out, somehow.

Well said PeaceTea

DancingWithAStranger · 08/02/2020 18:53

Oh come on op surely it will only be outing if he reads this and hes not likely to surely? Please tell us, I'm racking my brain here and so confused

You lot of filthy scoundrels are not getting your kicks or worse still vomiting from my total anticlimax (pun intended)

Sorry OP but who do you think you are?

A human being who feels rejected and humiliated, probably.

She hasn’t done anything wrong. She left. She didn’t get nasty or shout at him or get aggressive. She left.

MsDogLady · 08/02/2020 18:57

I know what he’s saying wasn’t come in we’ll do something else, chat, etc. It was dismissive.

...it needed a lot of trust (by my opinion anyway).

OP, you expanded your boundaries to prepare for and join his fantasy. He then broke your trust by being abruptly dismissive and causing you to feel foolish. He didn’t handle the situation like a friend would, with care and sensitivity.

I would move on.

DancingWithAStranger · 08/02/2020 18:58

Aww Patrick sorry you've missed the boat trying to be goady.

I've had all day with lovely posts, some critical of me/my response but in a constructive way.

I'm in no place to bite now I'm afraid, maybe you'll find prey somewhere else, bye.

Cherrygirl3 · 08/02/2020 19:04

Maybe he just chickened out OP? As others have said, some fantasies should stay just that.....he realised too late and handled it badly, causing you to feel rejected.

PatricksRum · 08/02/2020 19:16

@DancingWithAStranger
You need to take a long hard look at yourself and understand not everything is about you and throwing a strop because someone doesn't want to have sex with you is very manipulative.
If this came from a male everyone would shout ltb

God this is an embarrassing lack of comprehension.

I'm guessing this poster has been at Patrick's rum, it's not just their name, 🤣

NothingWrong · 08/02/2020 19:23

Fgs how would a fantasy be outing. You're being ridiculous.

Sagradafamiliar · 08/02/2020 19:23

Yessss Dancing that is how you wipe the floor with a goady fucker in one post 👑

PatricksRum · 08/02/2020 19:24

@JacquesHammer Did OP go off in a strop because she he did not want to have sex?

Sagradafamiliar · 08/02/2020 19:25

I really don't think OP should say what the fantasy was if she doesn't want to. (Although I'm nosey damn it!)

Sagradafamiliar · 08/02/2020 19:26

No she didn't, Patrick. Self preservation because she felt mortified and humiliated. Don't get it twisted.

JacquesHammer · 08/02/2020 19:27

If only there were a way to look at the OP’s posts and see what she felt at the time.

No need to tag me, I’m on the thread.

NothingWrong · 08/02/2020 19:27

Well on the one hand she's saying nobody observing would have noticed anything untoward and on the other hand she's saying oh it would be incredibly outing. It's some random fantasy. Spill it!

Then we can judge whether you looked ridiculous and put him off or what might have gone on. Without knowing what you're talking about, we have no idea whether you or he were being U.

ExtraFox18 · 08/02/2020 19:33

Is it possible that this was a bit of a power trip for him getting you to put effort into fulfilling his fantasy and then your compliance turned him off and he enjoyed humiliating you a bit in this way? Sorry but maybe I see things like this after being with someone for whom it was all about little power trips it seems.

Qwerty543 · 08/02/2020 19:35

@DancingWithAStranger was it adult baby? That's pretty niche as I can't think of anything else that's that filthy a fetish.

PatricksRum · 08/02/2020 19:37

Apologies storming off and ignoring texts isn't a strop if you are female.

NothingWrong · 08/02/2020 19:37

Qwerty543 Oh God. I've awful images in my head of a grown woman wearing a nappy lol. Fantasies should remain in fantasy land imo *accepts Prude crown.

JacquesHammer · 08/02/2020 19:39

Sigh. Except you said the reason the OP left was that he wouldn’t have sex. Which the OP has made clear wasn’t the case.

TeachesOfPeaches · 08/02/2020 19:40

What was the fantasy OP! Please!!!

NothingWrong · 08/02/2020 19:41

Jacques - the OP has made it clear that the reason she left was because he didn't want sex. I've read all her posts and nowhere has she said that she left for another reason? That's the whole point of the thread! He didn't want sex so she felt humiliated and left?

DancingWithAStranger · 08/02/2020 19:45

Oh god if I get banned for this 🙈

So here's the warning don't read any further if you are queasy Envy ⚠️⚠️

Do I need HQ to put a warning on my title now ? Grin

The OP discussed feeling vulnerable and being scared by what she was doing for him. She has also clearly stated he wasn’t wrong for not having sex.
