Has anyone ever taken a step back in the relationship progress walk?

Hello dear people,

 

I come again for the wisdom that comes from your experience. I just broke up with my girlfriend of 4 months. Yeah, small relationship but full of emotions! What a ride... I don't regret a thing, and would do it all over again. We broke up on good terms, as it seems her issues got the best of her, finally.

 

They always haunted us, our relationship, but this time she couldn't bear it and broke up with me. I tried my best to understand the whole thing but the stuff just wasn't logical, so I gave up, accepted and here I am.

 

Still, I know what I miss the most is the sex and the bodily chemistry. I think that after the healing proccess is over, maybe we could be **** buddies! Has anyone been through this transition, I mean instead of moving forward in the commitment and stuff deciding to take a step back and staying there?

 

Does it work? Thanks

Well that depends on if u make that clear to her. But if you just start flirting with her and expect her to know it's just f-buddies...I think that is a bit of a dirtbag move.

If you just want a F- Buddy, pick someone you dont have a history with!

It depends on your definition of "work."

 

IMO, an ex is an ex for a reason. I have made the mistake of trying to whole FWB thing and it never worked out well. It just kept feelings around that neither of us really and trult wanted. We would have been better to have just moved on and not continued having sex, or taking a step back.
