I was watching The Big Bang TV comedy and Friends with Benefits got mentioned. So I wondered if others had experienced that type of relationship and how it went. Plus any other thoughts.

A few years ago, I had 3 Friends With Benefits, one after another, each FWB lasted around 6 months to 1 year each time. As far as I am concerned and the ladies it worked very well. We enjoyed days and nights out and had some great 'encounters'. But weren't hassle to each other, no jealously, none of the hassles and control that happen in 'partner' relationships. When we had, had enough we just said, shall we call it a day and moved on...

    I dated a guy for 6 years and have now split up with him but we have a FWB thing going, as we ended on very good terms due to not wanting to lose each other as friends. Its much better now as we both have freedom and don't have to deal with the emotional toll of a long term relationship. So far so good!

    An ex and I were FWB for a little less than a year. We're now in a relationship (for the past year +). Take that as you will though. I personally think it won't work for very long before one or both of the parties involved starts to want more.

    In these day's more and more are just doing the FWB. I believe FWB is good as long as both parties are on the same page. For those that are wanting this FWB, I say go for it.

    In my single days I tried that .. in most cases someone gets hurt. I've been on
    both sides of that fence. Not worth it.

    It can go either way. Back before the married days I had a few such experiences...two were just fine but one went very, very badly as my "friend" ultimately wanted more than that. The other two were awesome though...particularly being in the military, it was nice to not be tied down.

    It wasn't the b!tch in my case...it was the guy! I was totally lovin' the FWB, could have cut it down to booty call...they're the ones that fell in love and wanted to "make it work". Until I found Dave...I thought he would be an awesome FWB, he put me in my place on our first date, either i'm all in or he's not going to waste his time. I have been with him (all in) for six years on October :smooched:

    So... how is this not a relationship? are you free to have sex with anyone else and you both just aren't right now? are you free to go on dates, or what?

    Some times my FWB ladies or I would call each other just for a 'booty call', not go out etc... With one FWB, there was a rule, that I couldn't say over night at hers, but she did at mine sometimes...

    Just so you know... The guys in FWB relationships get feelings too. And expect you to make them sandwiches! Or try to stick around to talk!
