I’m currently in a FWB situation. We’ve been seeing each other about once a week for four months. There’s been no fights or drama and we always have a great time together. Recently tho he’s canceled the last few weeks and when I asked him if he was still into this he said that work stress and family drama has made him feel not up for it. His exact words were he just doesn’t feel like it with everything else that’s going on. I told him I understand, thanked him for being honest and I’m here if he needed to talk. I’m taking this whole conversation to mean that it’s over and I should move on but others have told me that I’m overreacting, and to just give him some space for now. I’m still not sure but I could use some impartial advice on what to do…

Yes, I’d say he’s probably not interested in a FWB and may have decided to actually date someone else. Or he’s stressed and will look for meeting up when he’s not stressed- it’s a take it as it goes situation.

@anon Thank you this is exactly what I thought. He didn’t exactly say he wanted to end things but I’m assuming he was (probably for someone else 😂). Others are saying he was probably just explaining why he was cancelling. I guess we’ll see…

If this is only FWB- sex… Why do you care what he says?

Sounds like he is pulling back. His reasons might not have anything to do with you. Either way, time will tell. Do nothing. If he wants to see you, he knows where to find you. Take my advice with a grain of salt. I have never been in such a situation before.

@emily Thank you! Its good advice and you’re absolutely right

Well if it’s a FWB situation then just leave it the way it is. You’re not exclusive or committed to each other. But it seems to me you put yourself in a more girlfriend-like position. (by asking for the reasons and showing him you’re considerate) The fact you are posting here says you care more than you should (as a FWB).
I agree he’s probably pulling back. So give him space. Meanwhile trying to figure out what you really want with him. Like is it just the companionship or there’s something more than FWB. When he reaches out again or after a while you check up on him, you can communicate with him about it.

@sylvia Those are really good points and definitely something I need to think about. Thank you for the advice!
