Why would a guy suddenly break things off with a friend with benefits?

[Anonymous]

The second to last time I saw my friends with benefits we were having sex in his bed, and then we went out to grab something to eat. Everything was perfectly fine and normal. After we parted ways that day he went radio silent, no texts and no calls. I didn’t hear from him for two weeks until one day we bumped into each other. I’m not sure why but he started talking to me very rudely and broke off our friends with benefits relationship. I am very confused. I’ve done my best to be a good friends with benefits. I respect his space, I’m not clingy, I don’t care if he sleeps with other people and I don’t even ask about his sexual life outside of me. I’ve tried to make it as clear cut and straightforward as possible. In fact, he was the one always crossing boundaries: making me meet his family and other friends, wanting to hold hands and cuddle, making all these grand statements about how he’ll always be there for me. I just don’t get it.

He probably found someone else that he wants to either focus on solely in a friends with benefits or actually try committing to.

But then why be so rude to me? I never cared if he was dating other people. I never even asked.

Honestly that’s probably how somebody dropped him in the past and he inherited that. 9/10 the hurt that someone wants to inflict on another person derives from a traumatic experience caused by someone else. He wanted a clean, emotionless break and he felt that was the way to achieve it. It sucks and it’s rude but honestly, who cares. Seems like you handled the whole friends with benefits situation almost professionally with no emotional attachments just fun. So you should walk away with that same unattached mentality you’ve had with him the whole time.

He found somebody to replace you, or he just wanted to end it and didn't have the balls to say it. Had you not run into him, you would still be in the dark.

Lol sounds like he caught feelings... or found someone else to reciprocate them

He repeatedly told me not to catch feelings and that he wasn’t interested in having a girlfriend EVER.

With you...

Maybe he wanted you to be the clingy type.
