Long story short, not too long ago I met his mother and little brother. We were outside spending time with his little brother when his stepdad called and checked in on his little brother to see how he was doing. His little brother said he was playing with *inserts fwbs name here* and me, my ‘fwb’ stated that I wasn’t his girlfriend. Later on we got into an argument about it and stuff. One of the few main things we argued about was that and our feelings for each other. So the next day he came up to me at work and started wrapping an arm around my waist, playing with my hair, and asking me how was I. I shrugged him off because I was highly annoyed that he had the audacity to do that but not wanting me to be his girlfriend?
He got mad and took off. I left work early because I wasn’t in the emotional state to handle all of this and so he found out I left and started texting me nonstop until I told him what was going on. His response was “It is what it is, girl. If you got a fkn problem with it then so be it. I’m done talking about it. All in all I don’t know what to do because he says one thing but then says another to other people about the relationship between him and I. Is he too scared to admit that he has feelings for me? Or is he just confused and wants someone there because he’s lonely?
I just hope we can resolve this issue sooner or later because I don’t know how much longer I can do this for.
However, with an FWB, you probably don’t care much to know how they feel beyond the bedroom. This will make spotting jealousy a bit difficult since you pay less attention but a walk in the park if you are conscious about catching him. You can deliberately talk about someone new at school or the office and how you find such a person attractive. This way, you will observe real-time any change in his countenance.
The reasons are endless but I do know one thing, you don’t say I love you to another person unless you really mean it
However, when he’s making arrangements to spend more of his free time with you, or canceling other arrangements just to be around you , it might be the right time to be honest with him if you don’t feel like you want to take the FWB arrangement to a higher level of commitment. If you ignore these signs, he may feel you are aware but only chose to be insensitive in order to lead him on . I don’t need to tell you this is probably where the drama starts to unfold.
To Conclude
My fwb is a tricky one. When we first started meeting up, we’ll just have the usual. Talking and having sex. Then thing started to progress, started spending the night at each other’s houses, meeting family, hanging out more, and buying each other gifts. It was until a few months ago he confessed that I made him feel some type of way and eventually after doing some digging, he said that he loved me. As soon as he said that we became more closer, started saying we missed each other and would see each other when we had the chance (whether it’ll be at work or outside of work). He then telling me a lot more things like him getting jealous that I would talk to other guys or think I’ll do it on purpose just to piss him off.
