AITA for remaining fwb with a guy who secretly (I can tell ) is in love w me? He says he doesn’t care either way if we r fwb or bf/gf cause he only does open relationships anyways. I think he wants to be bf/gf deep down but I don’t.

Hmm this is a tough one. I don’t think you’re the asshole exactly if you’ve been clear but I also think cutting things off would be the right thing to do if you want the best for him.

I mean what’s the difference between friends with benefits and an open relationship

NTA as long as you make your intentions clear and don’t lead him on

A relationship is a lot more than “friend you have sex with”

I mean depends how close of friends you are and what you do but the main difference to most people between a best friend and a relationship is having sex and being exclusive

Relationship would be more close, being more lovey dovey/cute names , actual dates, etc.

I mean personally I don’t think you should ever be BEST friends with a fwb bc that is blurring the lines especially if you have a very intimate friendship. But I’m in an open relationship and it does not resemble any of my friendships or past fwbs at all because like we’re together and committed to making each other a first priority and we go on dates and write each other romantic letters etc etc etc

So what does he mean “he doesn’t care either way if your fwb or bf/gf” like did he ask you out or like wtf was that. Did he bring that convo up?

We were talking about intentions. Basically he means he’s OK with keeping it casual, but he’s open to a relationship if that’s what I want. Basically he’s down for either.
