Are you high?

The FWBs always know. That’s what that arrangement means. We doing this unless or until one of us meets someone or one catches feelings. If you’re doing it right, you move on when it’s time.

They’re your business, outside of an agreement to be exclusive. If she’s moving on from me because she met Mr. Right and wants to be exclusive with him, that’s the deal. I’m not going to cry and carry on because I wasn’t in love with her, because we were only FWB. She doesn’t have to introduce us, and she doesn’t have to tell Mr. Right about me. She might, but she doesn’t have to. What she did up until they agree to be exclusive is her business.

LTR guys are not being played. They’re seen as better relationship material than I am for her, and frankly, she’s better relationship material for them than for me or we would have been together like that. You should treat each other with respect, but let’s be honest. Sometimes you’re FWB with someone whose views you don’t respect that much, in spite of the sexual compatibility. So your LTRs are often people you respect more, not less, than your FWB.

No one is getting played unless they’re being lied to or manipulated. And don’t go asking questions that aren’t your business before you became exclusive. Share your panels and share your boundaries, and mind your business.
