Is this not just a fwb? Feel like I’m getting old. Is there a difference?

It could be a relationship, not serious enough to live with but its stuck, not going anywhere but you stay hoping it'll improve so your stuck in a situationship

Or a 'one of us is fuckinh the other one around and the other one hasn't the sense or self esteem to tell them to fucking do one' situation.

Ah ok I've only ever seen it used when someone is "seeing someone" but it's not official

Often one sees it as a fwb, but the other is hoping for more. Its where it looks like a relationship, sounds like a relationship but one of the people will declare they were clear they weren't looking for a relationship

the difference is the lines are blurred with little clarity

Ah my experience of fwb is the very opposite when someone's clear they don't want a relationship but the other believes if they keep sleeping with them they will change their mind see it so often..

Yes, I think women tend to assume regularly shagging someone will bring emotional connection for a guy, but its not the case, not if the guy has already decided your not relationship material

Yeah I know someone that did just that, he told her time and time again it wasn’t a relationship but she would cling on to any hope and read into things because “actions speak louder” 🤦🏻
