So I told my FWB cancer man it is over, after 2 years. This time he agreed that we could not carry on like this, but still he would text me out of the blue? What's up with him? We never has sex, came close the last time, so not sure what he wants. He also stares at me a lot, somedays, and other days he try not to look at me or take notice, so I just ignore him. What does he want, can' he just let it go? I also miss what we had, but when it is over, it is over for me. I will always have feelings for him. Why wont he just let go?

thank you. Today again and for the past week he tried to get my attention and when he saw that he had an opportunity to be alone with me and to chat he grab it and came and sat with me and we chatted. He also afterwards sent me a text to say if I want to hook up later I must just text him to which I replied that I dont think it is a good idea and that I m used to not having him around so I would rather not. After that silence from his side. Not aure if he will give up that easy? What does he want

They are hard to ditch. Sometimes you just have to be rude and blunt. When I tried to break off with a Cancer man not too long ago, he wouldn't hear what I was telling him. It was like he was arguing with me, trying to convince me. It still hasn't sunk in with him why I don't want to be with him. I finally had to just ignore, ignore, ignore.

I agree with Maddy. Men can be more concerned with the free cake.

My bet is that he has developed feelings too. Sure he probably misses his cake but uh...I'm sure he can get "cake" from anywhere. Two years is more than a FWB situation IMO. Anything that lasts over 6 months is dating. Being that you have feelings for him, I'm just wondering did you end it with him because a little part of you wants him to chase you & grovel a bit? Be honest...lol.

Your his emergency backup when he needs female reassurance via sex. He doesn't want to lose that option because its hard enough to get a woman to be FWB to begin with.



But he is clever, he will just slide right back in after some other guy you try to be with pisses you off. We Cancers are masters at knowing what type of people can carry on a real relationship with someone, we know YOU probably wont be married anytime soon since u settled with FWB to begin with and we used your already low self esteem to get what we wanted, so we know a year from now we can just call you back up and get back in the bed.

I hope I didnt mess up this guys future gameplan LOL

He probably does like you when it comes down to it, but the sex will always trump all.

im being honest when I say we have never had sex we only fool around touching ect. Yes this is a weird fwb relationship no doubt about that. And we have been out toghter but not as acouple in a crowd and he will always stare at me and want to be close to me. I do have feelings for him, and maybe he has for me, but he will never admit it if there are any. He acts obsessive when he thinks he is going to lose me and he gets jeolous when + give other guys attention, but to me feeling like only a piece of ass is not working anymore.

i went through a very similar situation years ago. uncanny how similar really. how old are you guys?

IMO he doesnt want you to forget him... it could go on for years if you let it. he never expressed how he felt until i was going into another relationship.

i meant to add, have respect for yourself and know what you are and aren't willing to accept. if you really care, tell him how it makes you feel and why you are exiting... then let it be. he will respect you for it, even if things go nowhere from there. if he really cares, he will reach out to you. PM me if you are interested to visit more about this.

Me too - a lifetime ago. I was very young. I kept breaking it off and he kept drawing me back in. It took me a long time to accept that he would never have the same feelings for me that I had for him. But once I finally did end it - for real - I felt immense relief and inner strength. He still kept at it, but I held my ground. Eventually I got over it and his flirty looks and comments did nothing for me anymore. Yep. He would have let it go on indefinitely if I allowed it. I think it was a real ego boost for him.

Then you are NOT in a FWB situation. Are you even aware of what that consists of? Two people having sex. THAT'S IT. No going out, no feelings, no staying after sex, no emotions, no cuddling, no kissing, no doing anything "relationshipy" (I made that word up, lol). The only thing you two are doing is FUCKING & K.I.M.(keeping it moving).

Sex is never casual. 1 or both people will develop feelings for the other. Trust...

Although some people enjoy the hell out of following what society dictates, such as FWB's, why isn't society (men) posting the rules for FWB's?

Number one rule of FWB: YOU ARE ONLY BEING USED AS A CUM DUMPSTER/BODY/HOLE...there's nothing "friendly" about it..so don't get into one if you have feelings for the man that is about to use you!!! You are the cum dumpster, he is the cum dumper. Plain and simple.

Now I understand some women just want sex, and are all cool with the above, but this rule, really needs to be spoken of more for the women who think FWB is going to lead to a life long relationship. This poor girl wasted 2 years of her life.
NOT FAIR!





Hehehe....rotf at this^^^^ 😛

I am 8 months into my FWB relationship with a cancer. He totally has my heart. I'm trying as you are but with no response...it's been since Sunday and it is very hard not to answer when he calls. I'm so waiting for the day when he is all mine. I now wonder if it will ever come. I too can't stand the idea of being some booty call. It has never been in my nature but the clever cancer turned me right on to it. Something in the way he does it...I don't know but... I want more.
