Maybe he was seeing what my reaction would be that my ex-bf is now involved with another woman. I honestly didn’t care. That ship has sailed…. While I wish all the best for my ex-bf, I have no interest in ever getting romantically involved with him again.

I have casual feelings for the guy I’m FWB with but no desire in getting in a relationship with him based on what I know about him already and choosing to be free from being in a relationship

Simple way to find out:

"FWB (use name), why did you tell me that?"

Wait for answer.

He would tell you that for the same reason you’d tell a friend you saw their ex with someone. The same reason I would tell a friend I saw their ex with someone. Just making conversation, they might think it’s interesting?

I wonder why you’re trying to make more out of a simple statement?

I guess or hidden jealousy testing me see if I still had feelings for the ex-bf. After that brief conversation, he wanted see me again soon which I agreed

I wouldn't read anything into it, he was just sharing some info with you.

You're already a guaranteed lay, doubt he cares if your jealous. That's the whole point to a FWB.

Doubt it. He was just acting like a typical friend. You said you were just friends, right?

Seems normal enough conversation to me. I wouldn't read anything into it. If I knew you and saw your ex with someone I would probably bring it up.

I agree with the others... seems like normal conversations. If he was just a friend, not a FWB, would you think anything of it?
