    FWB sounds like a healthy down-titration, but in reality it's a slippery upward slope.
    plus, imagine if/when you start dating or f---ing someone else and she's still in the mix.

    I've only ever seen FWB work personally when it was just an actual friends-only friend who got access to the benefits... the downgrade, a reversal to "friends" with sexy time from full couple status never really took for me

    This only works if you don't love her and just want her for the sex. Seems to me you actually miss her.

    What if in the process you find out she met someone else or breaks ur heart again? Not sure if that's worth it bro

    Think about it this way: you might have more women coming your way that wanted to date you but saw you were taken. Whenever I go through breakups I notice I start to get DMs from women who want to “comfort” me.

    Well, update. We met for what I thought would be just sex but ended up being 5 hour talk...and sex. Sort of a closure. I did not get the urge to get back togethet, even though she seems to have taken the best out of this situation and decided to clean her life up. She seemed healthy and stable. But something in me is gone and now I know.
