I have been observing FWB arrangements for years now, and Ipersonally dont condemn anyone who chooses it . I think there are people who can make that work , but only if one person DOES NOT end up falling in love with the other because this messes up the equilibrium.
But I think in the majority of cases, one person generally ends up developing romantic feelings towards the other person. What makes a successful FWB possible in my opinion are the pillars of honest communication and clarity of boundaries. But very often the person who develops the romantic feelings starts dealing with a lot of inner conflict , which they fail to communicate to the other person, so the other party continues to operate under the mutually agreed upon contract, while the romantically vulnerable person is flailing around erratically, while trying to cope with their unscripted and non-contractual feelings. That's where things get messy and often leave a sour taste in both parties' mouths . ![]() |

Nothing wrong with them. You simply have to understand all the positives and negatives that go with an FWB. If you can live with those then get your rocks off.

Yes it can course problems but so can normal relationships. If you go into FWB you know what you are going into but I know you can't help feelings changing as soon as feelings change both involved need to be open and talk and maybe walk away and hope to stay freinds or both start something more serious it worked for Justin Timberlake lol x

well,, why do you need a commitment to have sex, or be intimate with someone? And well you probably know as well as I do. Wink wink.. or maybe you don't!.lol.. but anywho.. most often in friends-with-benefits relationships.. One of them usually finds another friend... it's not that they are immoral people.. it's just that they enjoy instant gratification... they can usually emotionally detach themselves from a situation... which generally means they won't have any real problem jumping from one relationship to another.. just my witty itty bitty opinions |

...heck..the FWB has its pros...but after trying it a few times...no thanks..the I have no feelings but like sex routine gets old and usually one party gets attached..regardless of who gets attached or decides it's no longer working...seems to me that you just wind up with an unfeeling heart...then when you meet someone that you might be happy with...your heart may not know ...it's grown numb and can't feel...jmo..

The issue is about having clearly defined and compatible expectations. FWBs generally have a spoken or unspoken agreement that there are no demands on each other,but like I said before very often one person develops romantic feels for the other and those feelings are usually accompanied by new expectations or hopes , and ultimately resentment towards the other person when these hopes are not fulfilled That is unfair to the person who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. Let me give a small example. Prior to feelings emerging, no one demanded the other person to justify their unavailability for an FWB date. But all of a sudden if one person develops romantic feelings , and the other party says they are unavailable to hang for lets say twice in a row, all of a sudden , the romantically vulnerable person could become resentful towards their FBW because it hurts for them to think of their FWB spending alot of time with someone else instead of them. If both FBWs are able to keep their feelings out of the equation, then all is well , but when romantic feelings creep in, which they often do for one person, the rules of engagement get so messed up. ![]() |

If feelings get involved and the reciprocation of feelings isn't there, that's when it ends. Geez, it's not that hard to figure out.
For those that can't seem to grasp that concept, then FWB isn't for them, and that's probably a good thing. ![]() |

Being as innocent as an angelic angel thing,

If someone wants fwb or one night stands...that is their business. I don't really care.
It's not for me, doesn't rock my world and not part of my beliefs....and NO it has nothing to do with fear. That is silly |
