FWB disappeared. Minimal explanation.

Op here.

It was on and off for 8 years. 2.5 of which I was married. I hadn’t seen him since 2017 when I got into a serious relationship with my (now) ex and the father of my daughter. I got married in 2018 and sadly divorced in 2020. I contacted ex shortly after my divorce.

Yes - I’ve met his friends. We’ve gone out to dinners. We’ve had weekends together, I’ve met some of his family. He confided in me about slot of things and vice versa. A couple times when he’s been drunk he’s told me he loves me, but knows he would "destroy" me if we were ever to be serious.

I had to go to therapy because after we had this conversation something in me changed. I always had feeling for him. My therapist wasn’t helpful at all and told me I had such a strong attraction to him because sometimes humans just form attachments to people they find attractive. Ok. Not helpful at all.

We’ve been talking for a few months. He’s an actor in a popular TV show that is currently filming. I was supposed to see him when he’s on his break. He had just a ton of money and influence, I was always attracted to his high speed lifestyle.

And now, like a total cliche I’ve eaten a gigantic piece of chocolate ganache cake and am watching old episodes of the TV show he’s on. I feel physically ill. I was way more into it than he was. I should have seen the signs that he was giving me one word responses and leaving me on read. I feel so lame.

Definitely a troll.

+1 or not the real OP.

Op here.

I can’t disclose the show, it would be a dead giveaway.

People date actors. I was a groupie at first. It’s just embarrassing now when I think about it in hindsight.

Im not a troll. It’s just I have almost no one else to discuss this with - my friends are tired of hearing about him and think I stopped seeing him.

FWB means you don't like each other enough to give each other more.

What he did is FWB code for 'I met someone I like better'.

Suck it up and move alone.

(I'm sorry- I know it hurts).

Yeah. I assume you don’t live in DC either. Nobody dates actors in DC.

I think some of the comments hit too close to home. Hence, the outlandish story.

Y'all don't even try anymore with the trolling. Just get on the internet and lie with some straight nonsense. Go to bed.

This. He should had explained that OP though.

Troll.

Because if this were real, you would definitely name the show and hope the douchebag actor who dumped you was outed.

Why not?

There’s no risk to you. You won’t be outed.

Again: troll.

Have you actually seen him since your divorce?

No FWB is intended to last 8 years while meeting each itheee friends and family and sharing “I love you” - this is not FWB

Telling you he would “destroy you” if you were to get involved - that’s just a bunch of brooding actor melodrama horses**t, c’mon. If he weren’t famous or sexually attractive then you’d be doing exactly what I’m currently doing (as someone who dated lots of actors in my twenties) - massively rolling your eyes.

I’m sure it was exciting and challenging and getting those rare “I love you’s“ and intense gazes gave you a high but honestly, life is complicated and difficult enough without an elusive partner who would “destroy you” (gimme a break).
He’s done you a favor, what a dou**e canoe.

Op here. Thank you. I really appreciate that. Definitely slaps me into reality - I romanticized his broody and dramatic nature for YEARS.
