How are fwbs? good or bad overall?

[Anonymous]

I'm considering getting back in touch with an ex and seeing if he wants to hang out ha ha I know that hanging out will lead to "stuff". We did this a few times last fall but at the time I wasn't into the idea of doing things so casually and stopped it. now I'm considering it though because I doubt I'm going to have a serious relationship anytime soon and I'm missing the physical contact d: do you think it'd be worth it? or would it just get complicated? its always been pretty physical between us By the way. i Haven't kissed someone since we last "hung out" and its just like ahhh also, would you think you're friend was slutty for hooking up with her ex just Because she like wants to? I'm a bit worried my friends will judge me badly

Well, if you judged her chances are she will judge you, practice what you preach. Friends w/Benefits, completely disgusting stay single or be in a relationship not inbetween. This is called morals. If you go back to your ex feelings may rekindle. Keep your clothes on sweetie, seriously. If no guys are up to that quality and you don't have time keep your damn clothes on and wait it out until someone good does come along. Shake my damn head on girls not having morals anymore. Anyways, have fun with whatever your choice is

ive never judged her.. I don't know why you would think that. ultimately, I've actually decided tho because I heard he has herpes lol also, I don't see anything wrong with hooking up with an ex because I miss the intimacy

[Asker]

Decided no though *

you miss it.. and then you gain the feelings and go down the same road again, it is not a good thing to do

Personally, it's a total "NO-NO" to get back with an ex even if it's a casual relationship. If you're thinking about having a FWB do it with someone new. If you're the type to get emotionally attached with someone, FWB isn't the best for you, but if you can set your emotions aside, then go for it.

If you're just up for physical pleasure, then it's good.

If you're up to something more than that, then it's not a good idea.

I think FWB relationships are difficult at best. Most of the time because emotions do get involved.

Well, it could be bad cause you might have amazing sex and then you might get back into a relationship

[Asker]

i actually don't have time for a relationship ha ha so I think that's unlikely to happen i don't think he does either really

[Breathe]

wel its not about the time, its that you're both being intimate

Find a different guy. Not an ex.

The FWB thing is not for me. I prefer a quality relationship.

[Asker]

unfortunately right now I don't know any guys who would suit me for a quality relationship and I don't have time for a full on relationship which sucks but that's how it is

You can choose how much time a relationship takes; some couples only see each other 1-2 times a week. Finding a quality person is the key, though.

[Asker]

yeah and unfortunately I don't know any quality guys like that right now with my schedule right now I really wouldn't have time to hang out more than once a week at most if at all and then in the summer I'm gone about 6 out of the 9 weeks I have
