A female United States age , anonymous writes:

My FWB let his ex wife watch his cats while he was away. He has 4. I wasn't available. She stayed at his home 3 weeks while he was away, and I'm fine with that. She left pieces of clothing and incidentals in his home. She wants to pick them up she said she would cook him breakfast. He agreed. Should I be OK with this? He told me this. I don't want to act jealous.

Honeypie agony aunt"Should I be OK with this?"

You are the FWB so yeah, you should be OK with it.

The thing is YOU are not. That is why you wrote this post.

Sounds to me that you want more than you be an FWB. Are you being honest with yourself here?

kenny agony auntLike the other aunts have already said you hold the FWB title so you can't really act jealous.

Its not like he even hid anything, he was upfront and honest with you.

Are you happy with being just FWB?. I get the impression from your post that you would like to be more.

I think if you want more and he does not then maybe best not to carry on with this, unless your happy to be FWB for ever that is.

mystiquek agony auntSorry but being a FWB isn't the same as being a girlfriend. Its basically a no strings relationship and you can both do what you want unless you have made different arrangements. Afraid he can do whatever he wants and so can you. FWB relationships usually wind up with one person getting feelings. Sounds like this is what has happened to you.

Anonymous 123 agony auntYou're an FWB, he doesn't owe you anything. You can "be" ok, not ok, whatever- that depends on you. But you can't ask him for an explanation or demand fidelity because he's your FWB.

Youcannotbeserious agony auntWhat you are "OK with" and what you are not is entirely up to you. However, it would appear from your post that you are actually after more than just the "FWB" relationship being offered. Something to think about perhaps?

Of course you should be ok with that.You have to. You are only FWB ! What title or right would you have to tell him whom he can spend time with and doing what ?

This, in theory. If in practice you find yourself being jealous of other women , and disliking the idea that he might go out,or even be intimate, with them, then you are not cut to be an FWB and you need either to be upgraded to exclusive girlfriend, or to leave him.
