You're welcome. Whenever I hear a story like this, I consider that what I'm hearing is not the whole truth. In your case, what's important is that what you're telling us is the truth as you see it:
He didn't make an effort to see you, despite you making an effort to see him via a 30 min drive (and he still doesn't drive to you). You wanted him to do something that he blatantly didn't want to do, despite you doing things that you didn't want to do.
First, it is NOT stupid for you to get pissed about equal effort in a relationship. Relationships are about compromise. You are within your right as a human being to voice when your needs aren't being met. That said, be careful when doing something and expecting (or hoping) the other person will do the same in return. Regardless of how deeply he feels for you, you seem to be putting in more effort to this relationship than he is, and this does not make you feel good. I know you had a bad relationship prior to this, and that you are willing to accept fault in order to make this new relationship work... but be careful with that line of thinking.
"I just think if he can sleep around and do as he wants, why bother with me when he knows I've told him about the feelings I have for him and now not wanting to be a FB....... if he doesn't want to hurt me why bother having sex with me and churning all of that up....... 😊"
Because you enable his behavior. You apologize for getting mad, when you don't really need to. You have sex with him when he tells you that he's using you for sex. The sex is good, and he likes the intensity of adoration that you show him. Being his FB gives him all the benefits of a relationship without the responsibility (driving to you, doing things that you want to do). And if you get mad at this point, he can simply tell you "but I told you so."
I'm not trying to make you feel bad, I'm just telling you to be careful. I feel that you are setting yourself up for another heartbreak. Good luck.

@lisabeethur8 he did when we were seeing each other and we were together officially....... we split quite a few months ago and it's this after thing really that I'm wondering about....... when I asked if we could try again and it was taking him (in my eyes) too long to decide he said he was having to think about it due to my behaviour (via text with the making an effort etc) I think he let his guard down, threw himself into it (unexpectedly for him) and when I've screwed up, retreated and is now in defence mode—? Maybe or I could be talking crap 🤣 who knows

OP,
I've just read all of this post. I didn't read it when it first started about three months ago but I gathered there may have been an update which bumped the post.
Thanks for taking the time to read the WHOLE post I feel like I owe you those hours of your life back somehow 😂
Everything you have said trust me I think, I really do, if this was a friend telling me this i know exactly what i would say, yet havent taken my own advice and right at the start I nearly didnt meet him due to it but a circumstance within my family caused a lot of emotional pain and worry (which I told him about) as I was supposed to be going on a first date with him that night, he told me to pack a bag, he didn't care what I looked like (I was in a state it was my dad who was ill) and to go to him for the weekend and that's what I did and how it all got rolling 🙄 he really was so great that weekend blah blah blah it made me see that caring, lovely side (which he does have) but the rest of it 🙄
I do wonder if I'm just bouncing back and forth due to no one else being there and it's not doing any harm so I'm just doing it until Mr right does come along......... it's these last few times I've seen him that caused me confusion hence the post 😊

He just wants to fuvk and have kinky sex whenever he can.
He’s not going to settle for just one pussy that holds herself back from experimenting
Haha the only experimenting Id refuse is swinging....... that's just a game for others not me and he's since said he can't stand the thought of someone else with me now

Read these two articles, part one and part two, it won't take long but they are great for getting my point across...

The thing that is making me smile whilst reading your comments is everything you say is exactly what I would say and what I say to myself, the part about bouncing back and forth with him until something better comes along...... I have been asked out on dates before and left it due to this but with a better mental attitude this morning this will no longer happen and if I did accept a date with someone else this would immediately stop as Im in no way a person who would do 2 things at once, its just not me. I think this recent revelation with him telling me he loves me etc has been a lightbulb moment that he just wants to trap me into believing he really does love me but isn't in the right place just to keep me hanging and it hasn't worked, infact it has done the opposite and made me realise he really doesn't care..... along with the comments on here, I think i just needed strangers opinions as i dont want to discuss this with anyone who knows me (as it really is a pathetic position to be in and I wouldn't want anyone I know to see me as the weak person i've been with it all) but i always believe things happen for a reason and these things are life experiences that make us stronger. I will read the 2 articles so thanks for the links!

Throughout the relationship I did all the travelling to him (25mins) and it started to grate on me so I snapped a bit in a text to him, it turned into him saying he was sorry that he wasn't enough for me and he couldnt be the person I wanted him to be and he ended it. I've had a very long (15yr) bad relationship so I was in a no s*** kind of state and left it. However, i got back in touch with him a few months after and we had sex. Again got back in touch with him and went round and had sex, at the time he was very undecided about meeting as he said he would just be using me for sex....... at that time I was still in self destruct mode and I told him not to worry as I was just using him too. Heres were the problem arose, after that last time a couple of months ago I messaged him as I do still have feelings for him but because of where I was in my life said we could be friends with benefits........ the day after he rung me and said he had had feelings for me and he didn't want to do the FWB, i asked why and he just said "i dont want to" and that was it. I saw him the other day out shopping and it was lovely to see him. I messaged him to say so and now he wants to meet up next week for sex. I've explained the feelings I have and that I now realised I can't just be a F*** buddy and hes said he knows we will meet. He hasn't mentioned as he did previously that he would be using me (he did immediately when I got in touch before) for sex but im obviously thinking he is. I do love sex but dont sleep around so am planning on meeting him!
When I screwed up in the first instance around a month or so later I sent a very long message apologizing to him which he said he really appreciated and that's how I ended up back around there the first time. When we meet up its just like it was in our relationship, lovely, cuddly, amazing sex, when i can't sleep over hes so disappointed and wants me to.
Anyone enlighten me about what this guy is now thinking/feeling........ is that it just a drop in sex buddy or is there still feelings there and a chance? Im cancer
Hopeful for comments 😉
