Am good friends with my friend with benefits but I am starting to get a boyfriend. Do I need to cut off my friends with benefits?

I have had this friends with benefits for 3 years in totalt. We hang out like once every two weeks and the last few months we have been a bit more friendly and personal, and we know each other really well.

I'm starting to get a boyfriend (different guy), and I don't want to screw it up. However the thought of cutting off my friends with benefits seriously hurts.

Do you think my to-be-boyfriend would hate the fact that I'm friends with a guy I used to be friends with benefits with?
I also have the issue that none of my family knows about my friends with benefits, as I've been keeping him a secret.

Well be honest with both of them. Worst case scenario the new guy does feel uncomfortable with it and you need to figure out if he is worth losing your friend over

Yeah you need to let him go, the friends with benefits guy. The other guy, even if it doesn't work out, deserves your full attention.

Yeah cut him off, the guy will know sooner or later, or the friend has feelings and will mess things up, it will not work.

Yes, you need to cut off the friend with benefits and the sooner the better.

It would be cheating if you kept going...

Not I weren't having sex with him, the question is more if my newe boyfriend would find it unacceptable to just be platonic friends
