Interesting question. I've loved two women in my life. My Ex and Joan. The women in between I would call FWB relationships because the love emotion wasn't there. Other than that the relationships were the same.

The best side of FWB - For me he was a friend of many years and I loved him as a friend.

did you ever question the ltr? if that is what you were looking for why did you settle? I am sure the sex was great but didnt you really want that ltr?

You never have to buy Christmas presents for his family, there are no anniversaries to remember, you don't have to rush home & make dinner or do anyone else's laundry. If he starts to clip his toenails on your couch, you can ask him to go home. Don't have to choose between being a football widow or having 6 loud men over on Sundays. If you want to spend

The best thing about a FWB relationship is that you get to have some fun, some companionship and sex without all of the hassles and heartbreaks of a regular relationship -- as long as you can keep love and sex separate. However, eventually those relationships do get old and sometimes one partner does screw things up by playing games, etc. -- so then the fun goes out the window.

When I was in a position to have FWB relationships, the positive aspects were ....

Being able to have a fun sexual relationship with someone, the ability to have that without commitment, and the ability to still be open to other relationships if they came about.

It's tough sometimes to keep the emotional aspects out of the relationship though. For me, that could easily become a deal breaker. The only FWB relationships that worked out well were those that were never based on anything more. I tried having a FWB with a couple of past BFs, but they were very short lived because the emotional baggage always got in the way. On the other hand, I had a FWB relationship with someone off and on over the course of several years. It was off and on because there were times when one or the other of us was dating, which would make it off. When neither of us dated, we would find our way back to our FWB relationship.
