A netizen shared a story about how she shared a friend-with-benefits with her roommate because the guy was great in bed.
Here is the story
I used to have a fwb I couldn’t get over as well, we had been fwbs for a while and I caught feelings for him about a year in. He didn’t reciprocate my feelings, and he wasn’t looking for commitment.
He was actually my roommate’s fwb, but things happened and we ended up “sharing” him. He was great in bed anyway so it was pretty hard to cover things up. Thin walls.
We continued being fwbs for a while after that before he decided we should stop because I was getting too attached. At this point he’d already stopped being fwb with my roommate for about a month as well. This was before uni started for both of us (I’ve since graduated) and it was really awkward seeing him in school for a few years (thank god for covid I guess?).
Im still friends with my ex-roomie and found out that she’d asked him to be exclusive as well and that was why he stopped coming around.
He got together with his current gf maybe a couple of years after we split and I spent quite a while wondering why and what could have been.
I think it would be better for fwbs who have grown out of the relationship to call it quits ASAP before things get out of hand in the emotional aspect. Things could have gotten messy with me and my roomie but I guess I’m thankful that my fwb made the call to cut it off in the bud. I’m still glad that I had those experiences with him and while I do find myself wondering what ifs quite often with regards to him, I think I’ve already accepted that we’re not a thing. Guess it really does take time.
