Background: a man I had been seeing said he wanted to be with me and everything was going great, then he decided he didn’t want a relationship because I want marriage and kids and he doesn’t.
My options are to agree to a friend with benefits type arrangement knowing one day he may meet miss right and I’ll be out the picture, or end things now before that happens and I’m heartbroken.
I know the majority will vote option 2 but those who would consider option 1 can I hear your views/experiences please.

Too messy, end it.

Being fwb with him means you'll be further away from what you do want for as long as you're seeing him and likely to be heartbroken at some point.

In this specific situation based on what you've said, continuing to see him would be self destructive.

You’re wasting your time. Your life.
