Understanding FWB Expectations on Valentine's Day

In a friends with benefits relationship, expectations vary. It is not necessary for your partner to buy gifts or send texts on Valentine's Day. Clear communication about boundaries and intentions helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures both partners feel comfortable and respected.

Intimacy without obligation is kind of the point of a FWB, no?

Would you be offended if your guy friends didnt get you anything?

Yea that is the point. I think we went a step too far saying I love u though....so idk if im offended yet. There is a very distinct difference between fwb and friends

I don't think you should be offended. It's kind of what you signed up for. My Taurus friend has been mute today, and although I feel a type of way, I honestly shouldn't.

Well mine texted me this morning telling me happy valentines day and for me to have a good day. He texts or calls almost everyday so I guess it would have been weird for him not to text.

We use to communicate everyday, but it's been a slow downward spiral to dust. We've ran our situation to the ground, and we occasionally run up and stomp on it, whether intentional or not. Now, he'll pop up once a week just because, then disappear. He'll probably text in a few days, and I'll respond like normal and that will be the end of it all because it'll piss him off for the last time, I'm thinking. I get the impression he want reactions out of me...he's been jabbing, and all his actions do is make me shut down even more. I don't think I'll hear from him for a long while after this. My prediction anyway. He may not even text again from this point on, who knows.

Anyway, if you are not in a relationship with one don't for a second expect anything, especially not after you've had sex. The best phase from them imo is in the very beginning...when they don't know you yet and are chasing lol. If they like you, and are giving hints, and you don't eventually take the bait or demand what you want from them, oh well for you. It may appear differently, but it's done. All the niceness from that point on will be only because he wants sex...fixed on sex only. My Opinion anyway.

If I was near I would send you something. (((hugs)))

Thanks! When I figured that he was just about sex, I told him and he acted super offended. He says he loves me and dont want me to leave him. He says he needs me. Its all a game. Its funny to me He just doesnt want me to be with anybody else because he knows he would be cut off for good.
