September 19 2010

I have a FWB .. That I don't want to sleep with anymore but would still like to remain friends .. But I'm thinking that might not be possible.. So tell me .. Can u successfully go back to being just friends after being a regular FWB?

    Oh no the  " lets just be Friends"  Statement! I think 90% of guys who get to hear that term used on them, know its time to move on.........Rejection rejection rejection!Cheers Nev

    All of my relationships are based around friendship and the fact they are someone I really like... So yes I believe they can work.. But then again... Im one of those rare breeds that has a fantastic relationship with my ex husband (and his new wife)... We were friends for so long (since we were 17) .. we have two beautiful children together .. we are now more like a brother and sister.. he is always there for me and me him.. So yes it can work.. Why cos you dont want a sexual relationship anymore does it mean the basis of what bought you together needs to end ?? Sassy xx

    I have a number of male and female friends that have been FWB's. I have always stressed with these that the FVRIENDSHIP comes first and the benefits are just the icing..I ahve managed to keep people as friends by ensuring that this is layed out early on in the piece...if not then sometimes it doesnt work and if thats the case then they werent really friends but fuck buddys...

    No matter what advice you receive about this, only you know the answer. Only you know for FB and only you know the relationship you have.Choose your words wisely by speaking from your heart. Good luck.xx

    I do believe that this is possible. I have one amazing man who is my friend, first and last. Several months ago he found someone that he wanted to have a committed relationship with and yet we are still friends. We meet every time I am in town only it is dinner or coffee and NOT spend the night. We chat and email all the time. If something amuses us we text each other. He will be a great friend for life and if the situation arose where by he was available again, well we would just go back to FWB status. It depends on the strength of the friendship to begin with and the commitment to that friendship. Fionabee

    Yeah of course you can just stay friends.. umm... errr.. .it depends on the people involved I guess.. trouble with FWB is that always people get emotionally connected and often than not.. its more one sided than the other. Maybe you could start by saying something along those lines. hugs Stalky
