What stops you developing feelings for your FWB?

[Rantypanties]

I’d like to hear others thoughts on this. Is it lack of physical attraction? Do they have an annoying trait you can tolerate short term but not in a relationship?

I’m (obviously!!) the one who developed feelings in the FWB ‘relationship’ but I could never imagine having sex with someone who I just felt nothing for or wasn’t attracted to them?!

I guess I’d like more opinions so I can overthink myself to sleep about it!!!!

I agree with PP's.

Honesty
Distance
Neutral ground (hotels)

I wouldn't have started arrangement with my FWB if i thought there would ever be even a hint of a proper relationship. I knew I'd never want a relationship with FWB because I was certain that I would never want him to involved in my dc lives, he'd be a financial drain, and biggest of all we got on fabulously for a night or weekend but we'd have fought incessantly in a relationship. We did over the course of 5yrs become very good friends, and remain so despite both being in new relationships

Certainly agree with honesty.

My wife and I both haver several others and everyone knows about everyone.

Distance in terms of keeping a distance. We don't constantly contact each other.

Not neutral grounds though.

We both often stay at others home and our couples with benefits stay over with us and we even share our marital bed with them

If that what suits you then who am I to judge. I'm single, have my own place and no kids but because of past experiences prefer neutral ground.
Not nasty experience , just FB's coming for the weekend and not knowing when to leave.

As above, distance is good, good honest discussion, and it helps that we're not compatible. I mean in terms of lifestyle, opinions etc. We can have a friendly banter about our opposing politics, and still want to shag. But that would wear thin very quickly in a relationship.

The sexual chemistry has to be there though.

I am the worst person to ask. I married mine 🤦🏼‍♀️
