Why does my former friends with benefits insist on remaining friends?

[Anonymous]

Long Story, Short: We were FWBs for three months. I caught feelings, he did not reciprocate those feelings. I cut him off for my mental health and so that I can move on. Although, he is currently dating someone and despite the fact that we weren’t friends prior to this arrangement, he insists on staying friends.

I have blocked him on everything, but he has started emailing me. We he sees me within our mutual friend group (that I’ve taken a step back from specifically because I’m trying to avoid him) he hyper focuses on me and tries to get my attention. He keeps asking if we can talk.

What the fuck is going on? Do people usually continue to associate with former FWBs after it’s run its course.

Wow, friends with benefits didn't work out because you caught feelings? You could have avoided the bullshit altogether by not agreeing to that arrangement. Did you think if you fucked him enough he would want more? Hopefully you learned something.
To answer your question: he is trying to keep you warm so he can fuck you some more for free. Fwbs are so classy.

I had this same thing happen down to the friend group and all I can say is that this guy just want things to be his way. Of course I’m sure that some of the friends in the group give him shit for how he treated you or how things ended so if that’s the case then maybe he feels some guilt but not enough to do anything other than apologize and maybe continue the friends with benefits. He’s having some internal struggles but they’re all selfish and not your problem.

Leave him in the past and close the door, don’t engage because you don’t owe him anything.

You did friends with benefits, it has concluded and time to move on. F*ck that weirdo.
