Honey, you owe nothing to your ex, in explanations.
I'm curious over what the "difficulties" were. Nevertheless, he will wait for you? In the meantime give him sex, just casually, so he can get his rocks off, whilst he continues to do what ever he wants
This other guy sounds like a dream for you, just what you need, and obviously what you are after.
Tell your ex, that he is your ex...If he wants to go back with you, as a proper boyfriend at some stage, then you will discuss it, you are not in the game of FWB's...There is no point or meaning to it, thank you but no thank you.PUT A LITTLE 'LIKE' IN MY SOUL! -
yeah you are right..my friends have never approve of him..yet my family only knows him a little i try to cover up a lot and it gets harder every time.. i dont go for looks i am more about personality.. but he doesnt understand my social llife and how he is making me look bad by the way he is.. yes this other guy is so dang its hard to explain since we have been friends for a while but we never stop talking and we come form the same social background and all that.. yeah a fwb's is not worth it whats the benifit?well thank you again

Keep the ex as an ex not a FWB.I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
