So, I am in a FWB situation in the sense that that's what he (AP) calls it. A friend who knows both of us from work asked me flat out if we were having an affair. So what is the difference? Is there one?
AP and I are attracted to each other, live in different states but work for the same company. We text, email, and talk on the phone regularly. We are physical when we see each other incl sex. Neither one of us is interested in leaving our M or kids so I guess that is different. We aren't unhappy in our M. So what's the difference between this an A? Isn't this R an A??

Makes me think about my A. I know it is an affair but I wonder if AP considers it an A?
I was thinking about that today and here I found this post. I have a feeling AP will see our relationship as FWB. Seems that would be less loaded for him, less complicated.
I agree uncomplicated is what I want, but call it what it is.
