It's just a fwb, not a relationship. Sounds like you are expecting too much.

If you want a relationship cut him off and date around

Uh, you might be doing fwb wrong.

I may well misunderstand the FWB thing, so please correct me if I'm wrong. You can him a Friend With Benefits however you are expecting him to behave like a boyfriend. Which one is it?

He is just your fwb, there is no reason he should text you every day.

If that's something you want, maybe you like him as more than an FWB?

Or if you don't, it's JUST as important to set expectations in a FWB situation as it is in a relationship. Maybe if you guys talk about it you can find a compromise. But generally, texting every day/constantly is not standard in a FWB situation.

I mean, unless you two specifically discussed expectations for your fwb situation and that included texting a certain amount, I don't really think he's necessarily doing anything wrong. It sounds like you're wanting him to put in the same effort that he would in a committed relationship.

Isn’t that kind of all you’d expect from a FWB? It’s not a BF/GF relationship. And if he gets preoccupied with someone he may want a relationship with wouldn’t communication with them take priority? One might ask “what do you get out of this?” If it’s not fulfilling you then you can address it because you deserve to be happy.

He owes you nothing, he’s a fwb. You’re 27, why are you wasting your time on situations like this? You haven’t seen each other in 2 months, he doesn’t care. Be honest with yourself and the person you’re sleeping with if you have relationship expectations.

So you haven’t seen him in a few months to hookup

Could it be that he is hooking up with other chicks while keeping you on the back burner ?

Maybe he’s just giving you the minimum to keep you along for the ride till a spot opens up

He’s your fwb, not your boyfriend. He simply wants to sleep with you and nothing more than that. It seems you’ve caught some feelings for this guy, which is why it’s a bad idea to do fwb if you catch feelings easily
