Men, it's time to get it off your chest, what's bothering you?

I had a FWB that started because she planned to move away in 6 months. 6 months turned into 7, turned into 8, etc. A year went by of us sleeping together and she became one of my best friends but I never asked to make it official. I didn’t want her to give up on her dream of moving just for me.

I didn’t want to move either because my friends, family and job are here. I brainwashed myself into thinking she’s not the one and let her go. On our last day we hugged, she cried and I said we’d visit each other.

That was two years ago. Life got in the way for too many reasons to type but we still randomly text. I see pictures of her and she looks happy, even more beautiful, and possibly has bf. Meanwhile I’m in the same city, struggling with dating apps, most of my friends have moved away, and now I work fully remote.

Sometimes I wonder if I should have moved with her or if that would have been too much pressure for the both of us.
