Getting too emotionally attached to friends with benefits - Time to break it off?

I'm getting too emotionally attached to my FWB. Just keep thinking of her all the time, like I'm in love. Is it time to break it off? Starting a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship with her is NOT an option. We just know too much about each others' dirty little secrets to be able to accept each other in a healthy relationship.

  • And what's wrong with knowing each others dirty secrets? All relationship seem to be like that or seem to start like that from knowing someone for so long, you're not in love with her by the way. You're lusting for her, but if you're thinking in your mind about being with her in public in places like the movies, then you respect her and you want her completely.

    But my suggestion, tell her how you feel and if she feels the same -keep the relationship or end the FWB before it gets worse...

    • Well, would you want be in a relationship with someone you know has a history of cheating/promiscuity? Probably not ... That goes for both of us.

    • If that person is willing to put the past behind them and is trying to change themselves for the better then it is very well worth the sacrifice. As long as they keep their word.

  • Take it from one who had a friends with benefits relationship for three years off and on. Please be real with her about the way your feeling. You might care a lot about her but love idk. Lust is a mother sucker it tricks you from time to time. Plus I think if you were to start a real relationship it would take a lot of getting to know each other out side the bed room. Good Luck!

    • Did you sometimes have feelings for your FWB? Or were you able to completely detach yourself on an emotional level?

    • Most Def I a started having feelings for him but the I never told him. Why cause I knew what the deal was friends with benefits nothing more! The crazy thing is he started letting me know he was falling for me after two years but I didn't get the signs until late. We ended cause he was done expecting me to leave my boyfriend. Now that's another story.

    • Do you think I should tell her how I'm feeling? Can I ask her if she feels the same? I know a relationship between us will never be possible but I just want to know if it's only me that's going crazy and getting too emotionally attached.

  • You only have two options either you break it off or you form a relationship with her.

  • It's up to you- You can go either two ways, break it off and have a relationship.

  • That's why you should never go into friends with benefits relationships :/

    Honestly, if you think you cannot stand it to know too much about your girl's dirty past, then there's no other way than to break up. If you think you can bear this, then talk to her about your feelings. Relationships are never simple, even if you start them normal way anyway.

    But I'd suggest to cut it off and find a serious girlfriend.

    Good luck.

  • Accepting the secrets is what makes genuine relationships worthwhile...imo

  • Well if you think you can not have a relationship with her, then you probably have to end it.
