The Aftermath of Friends With Benefits Options

[MrStrife]

Yeah after replying to a topic similar yet different to my situation, I can't stop thinking about it and need to get it off my chest. No, honest, I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder but I'm just suffering under the rain. I met a chick not too long ago and we agreed to the play the game, no strings attached. It was pretty good while it lasted and damnit, I still want some. But it ended sooner than I wanted because I sort of got attached and was thinking about being serious but it just led to fighting and her crying.

Now she has a new bf and I'm just supposed to be happy with that? Like after everything we been through, I'm just pushed to the side? Don't get me wrong, she is a good friend and I don't think I'm being one, but it's just getting harder and harder to be her friend. I get mad when I hear her doing things with him that I never did and when she chooses him over me. I don't think I'm jealous because of the fact that I didn't think a serious relationship between us would've ever worked out. I slept with another girl while I was sleeping with her and we didn't care. We argue a lot because I feel like giving up on our friendship because the situation just doesn't look like it's going to change.

I want her to be happy, but I'm apparently selfish I guess. What do you think is the best thing for me to do?

Mmmm, I believe you really are jealous of the whole situation. Before you even get into an FWB situation, you have to think about things like what if you fall for the person or how it will affect your relationship with them afterward. Too late for that, now. Heh. You just need to distance yourself from her for a while until you get things situated. Move on, find someone else. Don't get into another FWB relationship if you know it's not going to work out well.

Common sense?
