Relationship without a title

[Luig566]

I'm in a confusing relationship. She wants to call it friends with benefits, but it is more like a relationship to me. We have sex. We normally spend a good amount of time together. We care about one another, we fell in love with one another. We are actively involved in all parts of each others lives. She won't say it but I know that it would bother her to see me with another person. I know I would do anything for her. But she still doesn't want the title.

Do you know why she insists on that? Won't admit feelings? Wants to play the field/ be single? Wants to sounds cool, open and trendy?

 

Call her bluff...Ask her if you are exclusive and if she's been tested for stds lately...see how she responds.

Honestly I think you're placing more importance on this than she is. Have you said ILY to each other? Do you exchange gifts? Have you met and hung out with friends and family (with PDA?)

 

How long has this been going on?

Yes... what are her reasons for not wanting to be formally exclusive?

There are a lot of "we" in your post, but her insistence that this is just an fwb kind of seems to negate all your claims of "we" and makes it sound more like maybe there is no "we" and it's just "you".

"She wants to call it friends with benefits"

 

Then that is exactly what it is. The reason she might be upset to see you with someone else is that they'd be taking away her play toy. But as things stand she can screw anyone else anytime. And may well have. Think about that.

It is FWB to her...plain and simple. I'm sorry.

[DancingFool]

Btw, FWB is a title, it's just not the title that you want.

Man what you complaining about. Atleast you getting sex. My only advice is to remove some of this emotion you have towards her. Make yourself believe you 2 will never be in a rship and keep her around. That way if it happens cool but if it don't you will be ok.
