...but I have a wonderful woman that I’ve spent 6 months getting to know and who has never let me down.
Coconut,
Good for you! Did your FWB relationship blossom?
Yeah, tbh, it was originally agreed to be a FWB R, but that’s not my style.. I’ve always set plans to get out and do things together, paid for the outings, dinners, etc.. but I’ve stayed away from pressuring her and she’s done the same, we just enjoy the time we spend together and don’t question the time we don’t.. she told me a long time ago that she isn’t, and doesn’t want to, date anyone else even though I told her I wasn’t ready to stop meeting others.. but the fact is I look forward to spending time with her more than anyone else... so two weeks ago I told her I was focusing on only her, that if we didn’t work it would only be because we didn’t work, not because of someone else. I do struggle with the fact that she is still legally married though, even though they haven’t spoken since way before I met her, and she dated others before me. Refresher, he is a disabled vet with PTSD, and she ran from the house fearing for her life (and her teenage daughter ran with her), so I don’t feel like I’m interfering with their possible reconciliation, but you never really know for sure.
But yes, our R has progressed, she is really good to me and she fits my life really well.. about a month ago I started introducing her to my friends and it’s been going really well...
