As the subject says: Have you ever had a FWB with someone, and it eventually turns into a monogomous LTR ?
If yes, how did it work out? Did you get married? Or did you realize it was a really bad idea cause it started as basically a physical thing which was fun, but outside of that there was not much to build on ?
I wonder if a FWB might be a good way to end up in a relationship. The physical part will most likely always be great, cause you started off concentrating on only that. Therefore, there is none of the "i don't want to scare/freak out my s/o because I am much more/less wild then them"
And, considering there will be no pressure, as being only friends and having fun, there isn't the "I don't know how compatible we are long term." You wont care about that.
Then, a month or two or three or however long the FWB lasts, you probably eventually add feeling for the other person (based off of another thread which mentioned if two people can give each other happy endings frequently, they will bond over that alone. I think the thread was titled something like "how important is the big 'O'? )
I am not asking hypothetically here, I am hoping for responses from people that actually engaged in FWB relations, and how it ended, if it ever ended.
However, I did have a serious LTR turn into a FWB. And in that particular relationship, it worked out way better since the only reason we were even together in the LTR was because of sex.
I've never had this happen, but of course it does happen to others.
To me though, while a man can learn to love what his FWB provides he rarely falls IN love with her. No matter how cool she is(and she could be a good friend not just a random Bootycall) In the back of your mind there's always going to be the fact that shes giving him free no strings attached sex, and that's not a good trait for a potential GF or wife. I'd never advise a woman to thinking being his Bootycall will eventual promote you to GF status
My husband and I had a relationship that was mainly physical at first and evolved into friendship and love later on. We didn't call it FWB though, I don't think that term or even the concept was popular then. We dated, but it was all based on physical attraction until we got to know each other better.
Nope. Most people compartmentalize these situations going in. I think it's about 90/10 - 90% failure rate (with maybe one party getting hurt on occasion) and 10% success rate (if that's what you want to call it ... LOL).
There's a reason they are called FWB and it's because they are "clinical."
"FWB" usually means....to me, that one party is NOT interested in a LTR. Sometimes it is both. Every situation is different, so I don't see how that can be generalized.,
I've never had a FWB turn into a serious LTR either. In my experiences, its start out fun but usually jealously takes over (from both parties) especially if you hang out in the same places.

Yes. Started out FWB on my part. Emphasis on the friend. We had a lot in common. He is a very patient man. It got more and more serious. It's still ongoing so I'll have to get back with you later.
