Same goes with you.

You’re using one another until something better falls in your direction.
Like I said - mutually beneficial relationship.

I did not say use her or disrespect her. Just be FB's or FWB. I did that with one of my ex's. We remained lovers for quite some time. Then I found a new girl and she found a new guy who she married. We were not using each other - just FWB. Lovers and friends. We did have that connection.

I would beg to differ about the notion neither was using the other.

You where both using one another for your own means, just because you share sentiments or elements between one another does not make that any different.

Disrespect was never mentioned, so i am unsure why that was even an element.

You seem to want to call it "using" in order to say something bad or wrong was happening... unless you think all human interaction is "using" (which, according to your clarification, seems to be the case). Either way, it appears that your comment was a non-sequitur.

Mutually-desired FWB isn't "using" (unless you have a problem with it... but then that's your problem).

Or he could just be calling it how he see's it. Just like you are.

You're the only one assuming he means it in a bad way. (In this particular instance.) Just my observation.

However, neither one of you are "wrong" per se, it's simply a difference of opinion. It's all about perception and what that person's moral compass is based on. If you don't see it as a bad thing, it's not. Do you. If other's aren't comfortable with it. That's fine as well. It's not for everybody.

I mentioned respect in the light of this and other posts. While the word disrespect was not used, I chose to emphasize the point. I'm big on respecting women.

“Using” is not a bad word.

We ALL use others for our own desires. People seem to have some idea that just because we share desires mutually that we are still not using the other for our own needs.

We are.
it’s why we are even bothering to have relations with others in the first place.

We all “use” others when we attempt to relate to them for our own benefit and gain something we cannot obtain by ourselves.

There is always and element of self involved to every mutual relation. Even in moments when we share motivations with another.

Without self to drive us we would never share anything with anyone.
