Sound like his playing with your feeling "I love you" strong word
It doesn’t sound toxic, it sounds like you need to communicate. If the situation is FWB but you want more then you need to have then conversation to see where his head is. If you’re pretending to be okay with the set up how is he meant to know you’re not. It can be hard to be vulnerable but better to know where you stand and then you can decide if you’re happy just being FWB if that’s all he is wanting to commit to, or if you need to walk away if he’s not wanting to take it any further. He could be feeling the same as you but doesn’t know how to communicate it either. But going about it this way will just exhaust you and probably not end in a healthy way
You’re not in a relationship. You should end it because clearly you want more than he does. Your feelings are involved.
@Lily nah your hurt. And that’s okay.
Who needs this drama. It sounds like you have a nice time without him too. If he isn’t reciprocating effort and you want more from him than just FWB (and have told him this) then just sack him off.
Anna, I’ve tried, but my heart aches for him when I do. We always end up back together.
@Jocelyn I’m not mad. Just venting feelings.
