My Fwb blocked me after I ended it...

Hi all,

Just wanted to emotionally vent really. I feel rubbish....

I ended my Fwb arrangement today - it was a hard decision because I was emotionally involved but it ended up wrecking my head

He was very consistent with messaging for 3 months, then the dynamics changed about 4 days ago. He would always contact me of an evening and the next morning, being really enthusiastic - whilst I made the effort plenty of times, he was always the pursuer. Then all of a sudden I felt a change (gut feeling I suppose). It was me now reaching out to him the last 4 days. I knew him well enough to know it wasn't like him. I literally felt sick most of the weekend and I hated the feeling. He wasn't away on holiday or anything, as he said last week he has no plans.

Not only that but this in partie was a huge contributing factor - it had been over a couple of weeks since we hooked up (had a great time, stayed in an Airbnb and it was just lovely - lots of affection and very emotionally intimate). He was all for spending two hours every night talking dirty but I was getting frustrated, if you know what I mean. So it came about discussing our next meet up, and I suggested next weekend (I knew we were both free as he told me last week). He asked if I was going to be still on my period (without going into detail...).Basically, I didn't get an enthusiastic 'yes sounds great', or 'aw I'm sorry I can't but can do this date?'. He blew me off. That was a painful rejection.

So having sense the last few days he was losing interest (pursuing me that is - he'd still respond to my texts), I just felt sick and knew I couldnt handle this casual arrangement anymore. It felt like it was becoming more on his terms.

So I sent this text to him earlier :

Hey, hope you're ok? Listen I'm going to have to bow out of this arrangement graciously 😊. I thought I could handle casual but, not this sort of casual lol. No change on my part - i don't want anything serious - but last few days I've felt the dynamic change slightly. I also thought it would be effortless asking to hook up and get an enthusiastic 'yes'. It was naive of me really to think that the daily interest yohve shown for a few months wouldn't wane at some point. I'm not cut out for something that's more on the other person's terms. It's all good though no hard feelings. x

Then he blocked me.

Was that text insensitive as I feel bad now that I forgot to say 'sorry' 😔

I'd block you too if I was him.

No chance of you messaging in a week's time asking if he's thinking about you etc.

You ended it and he sent a respectful reply, I don't know what else you want.

You sound pretty intense for a fwb situation - getting the hump over 4 days of changed contact? Surely people do fwb so they don’t have to think about other peoples feelings to this extent

This
the guy was great for 3 months, has 4 busy days and you go off about not getting the pursuing that you need.

@SunshineAndFizz

Reasonable reply is probably a bit generous lol. He's obviously a bit pissed off but trying to come across diplomatic too..

Anyhow, I knew by sending that message it would definitely be the end of it. I knew he wouldn't declare his love or anything. I was just a bit shocked he blocked me as a reaction, then later on unblocked me to get his last word in (which is obvious by saying 'he forgot' and 'I was busy in and off' which was utter bollocks as he'd been busy on holiday at a wedding yet text me several times during the day every day her was there!

Just wanted to rant, thanks for your input I do appreciate it 😁

@FloydPepper you're missing the point. I didn't 'go off', I was just unhappy as knew my expectations were unrealistic - so ended it.

@Besttobe8001 bit harsh that isn't it? Did you not read the other messages ffsz he was texting/chasing ME every day - I'm the one who was chilled 🙄

@FloydPepper he wasn't busy for 4 days BTW, that's utter bullshit. He said he was but I knew he had no plans because he told me 🙄

@CloseYourEyesAndSee thank you 😁 for the credit! I see what you mean about the casual comment - I was happy with casual (can I just say at this point - about 4 wks ago we both agreed to have benefits of a rship- without the tag and obligations - plus exclusivity. God knows why don't ask.... Lol) - but not 'casual' as in unequal terms, I.e him being nonchalant /not arsed about wanting to hook up. I wanted enthusiasm! If he had said to me 'yes let's meet up next weekend!' - there's no way I would have ended it today. I would have been more chilled about his lack of contact thr last 4 days - knowing I'd be seeing him anyway.....
