I hadn't really thought about this before until thread in AIBU

I have a house with a friend for several years now. I think he's attractive but definitely not in a romantic sense. He is absolutely not in love with me so this is nothing that could hurt him. It doesn't hurt him either as I would be delighted if he found a nice girlfriend.

But it's been only this year that I have tolerated some sexual activity because I wanted to chat. I'm not outgoing but I do like chatting!

It's best to talk to him about it really so that we're absolutely clear? I think he knows that I'm fine with messing around a little when I'm in a talkative mood. Definitely not full sex. It is a complete trade off really!

But why? Just have a conversation like normal people. It doesn't need to be a tit per word.

Maybe it's time to get out into the world and make some friends OP. It's not healthy feeling so lonely that you exchange your body for a conversation.

It's not really that strange. If I'm very isolated, both single and don't mind him holding me whilst I talk he doesn't get hurt, I don't get hurt. We're not looking at a long term relationship here. It had crossed my mind that he might get me confused with a girlfriend which is why when I read 'talk shit, get pussy' thread in AIBU yesterday I wondered if our boundaries were clear enough.

It might be unconventional however it doesn't matter if we've cuddled a couple of times on the sofa. With no further intent.

I had something even weirder happen to me today but don't need to talk about it!

It is not normal to stand around, chatting about the weather, with your housemate’s hand on your tit.

If you are desperate for company, try getting on a bus. I can't sit down on a bus without someone telling me their life story, but they don't grab my boobs.

porridgeisbae · 28/10/2023 13:42

I ended up in a FWB situation a bit like this. He should be willing to chat to you without you having to get your baps out before he'll do it. Or if he isn't, leave him alone and befriend other people.

One way or another you need to get out more often, so you can chat to people who don't require you to flop one out before they'll stay for a chat. x

I don't think this is an AI as their way of writing tends to be bland.

It really is that strange. And you thinking it’s not is even weirder.

CissOff · 28/10/2023 13:46

I have very strange visions of OP whipping her boobs out whilst he fondles them and she just chats away mindlessly 😂

Such a bizarre thread but entertaining all the same.

TheFretfulPorpentine · 28/10/2023 13:49

How did you end up sharing a house with someone who needs bribing into normal social interaction?

Jewelspun · 28/10/2023 13:56

So you and a male friend bought a house or rent a house together.

In the communal areas of the house you enjoy sitting down and making conversation but when you do he likes to have a fumble and rummage down your bra and in your knickers but you're ok with this because you enjoy having a chat!

Is that right?

If so you are appearing as cheap and desperate to him on one level but when you go on to say that you hen he is I'll you don't go anywhere near him that makes you sound cold and uncaring.

It's all very bizarre.

TeaGinandFags · 28/10/2023 13:59

MOVE!

That's it.

I never said anything about wanking. That is PP's mind and was grossly inappropriate.

I let him hold me a couple of times and hold my breasts. Brief kiss. And yes that was because I needed to talk so we were both manipulative as we're not in love with each other.

I've dealt with it now as I've messaged him and been quite stark. Not in a nasty way.

There are some strange people on here.

So you live together but he'll only talk to you if he's at First Base? Do you never go out in public together??

FuckingHellAdele · 28/10/2023 14:00

Talk about the Odd Couple.

Your narcoleptic friend (real or imaginary) is an absolute fucking sex pest.

Ah be kind, he's only making mammaries.......

SleepingStandingUp · 28/10/2023 14:03

I'm assuming as you talk about holding you and kissing it's more lying on the sofa with his arm around you and one on your breast and the odd kiss. But re wanking, surely you know that's what he's doing once you've gone?

porridgeisbae · 28/10/2023 14:05

when you go on to say that when he is ill you don't go anywhere near him that makes you sound cold and uncaring.

That isn't what OP is saying, she's saying he doesn't want to chat at all when he's ill.

Sounds like he doesn't really want much to do with you even when he's a bit better OP.

My FWB was like this. I'd be chatting about something and he'd go 'that's good now suck my c*ck.' He moaned about his other lover talking too much when they could be shagging as well. He didn't like her much as a person, maybe he was the same with me.

Peoplemakemedespair · 28/10/2023 14:10

You’re the cheapest prostitute I’ve ever heard of. My ex would love your number

Very occasionally - look, I'm used to NT people. Both my siblings were. So I tend to take people as they are whether their behaviour might not be 'normal' to other people.

I have already sent him a message before 9am this morning asking if he realises it's a trade. Think he does, but would like to make sure. I'll have to get my chatting elsewhere.

ChristmasCrumpet · 28/10/2023 14:17

You've said multiple times "he's definitely not in love with me" which I find so odd, because that's beyond obvious and doesn't need clarifying.

Was this thread in the hope that someone might say "oh, but OP I think he does love you".

I think you're clearly very in to him.

QueSyrahSyrah · 28/10/2023 14:27

What the hell have I just stumbled across.

OP you don't seem to have answered WHY your tits have to be involved, and why you can't simply have a conversation with him in the normal manner. Does he just sit there mute with noise cancelling headphones on until you whack them out?

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 28/10/2023 14:42

The weirdest thing here for me is that OP has messaged her flat mate rather than speak face to face .

I don't think the situation where someone gets drunk and has sex with a flatmate they wouldn't have fancied sober is particularly unusual but this situation sounds as if OP needs to look at ways of getting a bit more of a social life and making more friends . And look for a new flat-share (I'm assuming you are renting). In the meantime, make sure there is a lock on your bedroom / bathroom door and be very wary of future interactions in communal areas.

TheShellBeach · 28/10/2023 14:45

Anyone else wondering what on the earth the beverage is that OP so disapproves of?

Not tea and not alcohol, but she really thinks badly of it.

Maybe one of those people who drink their own urine 'for health benefits'.

Jeez.
Urine is not a beverage.

This thread is so weird though that it might be urine

I reckon it's Red Bull. Or Prime.
