"Ive had this longtime problem understanding fbs and fwbs.
But if someone is looking for or is in an exclusive fwbs relationship how does it differ from a "normal" relationship"
They aren't exclusive to each other are they? They do the normal stuff but aren't tied to one person singular if they choose so. |

We just keep it simple, with minimal coverage of personal life complexities. No major or any plans together - the here and now, with the short term, are the focus.
It stays on the positive, though doesn't exclude potential support. It's a way to help keep life simple . I would rule out a joint bank account unless he's a multi millionaire  |

Space could be another reason. Committed enough to be exclusive but not enough to give up their space full time? |

friends or buddies takes the commitment level right down from relationship status to friends, there'd still be some level of commitment but nothing like a relationship where you're thinking of making future plans together.
as for the exclusivity, maybe they want to bb and don't want to risk diseases, or they might only enjoy one partner at once. it still doesn't make it a relationship though.
hope that helps. |

But people in relationships dont all live together or give up there whole life. See not easy to understand is it |

I would say it's offering the benefits of a relationship without the mundane. I.e keeping private lives seperate. But the dating, the fun, all the good stuff. The being there, the cuddles, the compliments.
But it's the same as the fb term and nsa.
Each situation depends on what is agreed between those concerned. X

I had a friend with benefits. He wanted me but didn't want me. He got extremely jealous possessive (which I loved) when I came back on here and he found me. I came back on at one time because yes well there were no exclusive arrangements and knew he'd be here, which he was. We had a soul mate connection which was too much for him to handle because it went against his ruling of being committed. A really sad situation because no one has come near to the connection we had. I guess fear can really mess with us and spoil something which could be quite beautiful. Anyway I don't expect anyone to understand but just to let you know the complexities of fwb. |

yeah that's mostly it. you are committed on some level but don't really want to take anything further than sex and friendship. |

You commit to always meeting them above anyone new you normally have regular meets you give more of yourself than you would ever dream of giving to a one off and once you find a fwb one offs no longer interest you because they can not hold a candle to what a fwb can give you on a emotional and sexual level . |

diamond is asking about exclusivity, so you wouldn't be meeting anyone new or anyone else at all. |

Or can't as in my case with one fwb. The other is the classic & has gone on for over 20 years so clearly works! |
