Ending FWB but when?

12 replies

Zeroperspective · 25/11/2024 21:34

I've been FWB with this guy for about 7 months and we are great friends as well as having great sex. Stupidly I've caught feelings so I need to end it but do I tell him before and have one last time or wait until after we have one last time and then tell him?

Me and my husband started as FWB 12 years ago, just putting it out there Smile

Are you going to ask him if he has feelings for you too? If he does would you like to have a relationship with him? If you don’t want that, just end it without one last time.

Depends

sound you want a last time. I think you should be clear about your feeling after last time,

In your head are you hoping he turns round and says I have feelings or you too let me swipe you up on my white horse and we can gallop off into the sunset? Marry me?

I would be honest with him. See what happens.

I'm not wanting a relationship, we have both been clear about that from day one and no I am not expecting him to feel the same way. He's given no indication its more to him and even if he does feel the same it doesn't change the fact that I don't want this, I'm not in the right headspace for a relationship, I don't have time for one and I don't really want one, damn him for being so bloody brilliant as a male of the species!
I do however want one last time but I'm not sure it's fair so to speak that I know it's our last time and he doesn't, hence do I tell him before rather than after

Could you not just carry on as you are?

Based on that, I don’t think it is particularly fair. He is going into something that he doesn’t know will be the last time. I would tell him first and if he wants one last time then go for it but I think he should be made aware beforehand.

This happened with mine. We've finished it twice but keep coming back. We now act like a couple indoors but strictly friends outside. Just enjoy it while it lasts

Was this grading and titling of sexual relationships really a thing so long ago? Surely it's an internet culture thing.

I would do it one last time and then meet up for coffee and tell him. Dont tell him when you're meeting for sex, its not fair and he wont see it coming.
