Irritated...mostly a vent

i'm glad that u were up front with him about where u stand. a lot of ppl can't even make it to that point... especially in a FWB arrangement.

however, u need to own up to the fact that u did push for exclusivity. ur sending mixed signals now. u say u can go back to the way things were, minus the emotional attachment, but it's too late for that. u already expressed ur jealousy in that u don't want him to hook up with anyone else while u guys have a thing going on. now he realizes that ur wanting more from him. he's probably saying he doesn't think he can go back to that because of ur confession. he probably doesn't wanna hurt u if he's not reciprocating. let him think on it for a while and let him get back to u when he's figured out what he wants.

i think ur grasping at straws here. ur coming off as borderline desperate when u change ur tune like that. u told him what u wanted from him, he hesitated, and now ur saying that u'll go back to the way things were just so u can "stay together". it's better if u just stick to ur guns. if he can't give u what u want then move on. he'll respect u more if u stay true to urself.

Sad to say ninjamu is right. Once you confess you want more than FWB you can't go back. FWB arrangement is hard to keep as one person usually ends up wanting more.
