No because one of us will either miss each other again, sexual intentions, get jealous, get pissed off etc.
I just know most of the time something bad usually happens.
Many cannot remain just friends with an ex relationship, they lack the maturity to do so and keep the past in the past.
They may also find themselves with a current partner who lacks self esteem, is insecure and jealous who cannot keep the past in the past.
Sounds all good and dandy, CSD, but its just not reality. We humans aren't robots; its in our very nature to have these emotions (jealousy, insecurity, anger, fear, etc) they serve us a purpose.
Personally, I can be friends with former fwb, but I find women are one the most jealous creatures on earth.
Life and relationships are so much easier not to have ex f-buddies that weren't good enough for a real relationship, but rather a booty call whenever I was horny.
#1 - the new, fully legit relationship deserves a clean slate, free of baggage and distractions.
#2 - in the LONG RUN, the past is bound to come out, somebody will overshare, make inappropriate joke, or inevitable comparison. As the pirates say: dead men tell no tales.

These a different things though. FB /= FWB.
I agree with you on a FB. Not on a FWB. It seems people don't really make distinctions on here regarding these two things, but they're fundamentally very very different relationships.
Yeah, the "FWB" thing. It's not a "relationship style" that I personally would get involved with, and no, I would not be with someone who thought that it was actually a good thing to remain friends with someone that they had non-relationship sex with.
Just fundamental incompatibility.
