I’ve recently broken up with my FWB
And really surprised how hard it has hit me.
We had always agreed we could and would walk away, the feelings were always of respect and trust. Not love, but a genuine connection, based on sex and again a healthy respect and trust for each other and our respective circumstances
Now having agreed to walk away, as she has a potential boyfriend, which we could not do for each other. I wish her nothing but love and luck, but I am now missing our connection
lol not after sympathy, more just someone to go ‘yeah I get that’ and tell me I am not clown lol |

Recently separated myself, it can suck but people have the right to walk away and do what's right for them. All the best to you o.p |

You’re not a clown, you’re going to miss a connection with someone you enjoyed spending time with. That’s human  |

Just gone through something similar and it’s definitely hard. For me it was going from messaging every day to a few times a week just doing the friends thing. I’ll always care they were pretty special to me but I’m about 11 weeks down the line and I’m good. Just been away with friends and had a little holiday fling and it’s honestly done me the world of good. Feel like me for the first time in ages
So no OP you’re not a clown and definitely not alone |

I've been going through this myself this last couple of months, and its fucking hard!!! Especially when the connection you had was so perfect.
I've taken a step back for a while to clear my head before.
The circumstances of mine really dissapointed me.
If it helps to talk, feel free to message me. |

Just been through this, 28 years together, 4 kids and have broke up in last 6 months, still struggling to believe it's over, constant breakdowns when sitting at home alone, each time it happens I have to think about my kids while looking at pics of them and that perks me up each time, thank god for them or who knows what would happen....

The longer you’ve been together, the more impact it’s bound to have.

"Nothing worse than 'relationship pain' I hope you feel happier soon 
Dunno, having a kidney stone dragged out of my urethra was pretty fkn bad.
Sort of like negative sounding, I should imagine. "
More like my pee tube was being exfoliated with a pumice stone.
I still have it, in a pot.

Been divorced over a year and no marital sex for 8 years previous - so was told here was good for meets etc but still waiting for “the one” or more?! |

I have had a fwb for 2 months now and it is the best thing I’ve ever had in terms of relationships, but I’m very aware that it’s still new and exciting, we meet up every Wednesday and the odd weekend when schedules align and it’s perfect for both of us, a little escape from work, kids and the humdrum of everyday life.
I do worry though that one of us might confuse the passionate connection between us as love, or worse, that we both do, there appears to be no such thing as a long term no strings attached relationship, so as soon as I feel like I couldn’t see her fuck someone else, or find myself not wanting to fuck someone else, I think I’ll have to break things off, I know in my head there’s no real future in this, and she’s just too good a person to get hurt, and I’m not boyfriend material, not for her anyway. |
