Ending a FB relationship

August 07 2018

As most things do, they all come to an end. So how do you end a relationship with a FB? Do you just let it fizzle out naturally, stop the communication make yourself unavailable, just be too busy, or do you make a point of saying to them, thanks for the fun times but I need to move on? I am struggling with this atm, just needing some tips from anyone that has experience with this. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Just say that you've really enjoyed your time together but you've realised it's not for you anymore and you want to move on. - Posted from rhpmobile

    You’ve got to ask how you’d want to know/be told if the tables were turned. Would you rather feelkngnit fizzle out, the messages lessen, the interactions no more until it eventually sinks in that you’re no longer of interest to the person. Or would you rather prefer them to be up front and say hey it was great but it’s time to move on. Yes you then have to deal with the fallout if they’re thinking everything is fine and dandy but at least everyone will know where they stand. There’ll be no second guessing why communication stopped, what’s wrong with them that that other person has disappeared.. Good luck with it. - Posted from rhpmobile

    ...falling in or out. Just say what’s on your mind then end it. Next question? ⚡️ - Posted from rhpmobile

    Ending any kind of relationship is always a difficult conversation, for both parties. Just like ending a serious relationship be upfront and honest...it’s always tough but ultimately the best and most respectful way, rather than just fading away - Posted from rhpmobile

    No matter which way you go, there's always going to be some stages of grief and loss. IMO Think of how you would like to be treated and go from there. You can't control how the other person is going to react or feel. So best looking after yourself first. All the best. Ms Foxy

    Ending a FB relationship is different to a FWB relationship. FB you can easily fail to have your planets align for a hookup and drift into nothing. My FB's it's not uncommon to not communicate for months anyway. It's just a booty call. It is what it is. FWB is similar to a normal relationship with all the stuff that goes with that

    Well for me that means you only saw each other for sex. So I would let it fizzle out unless they ask for a reason why you’re not keen to hook up. If the connection was deeper and you saw each other few times a week and kept in contact btwn meets then that would be different.

    I just told him, honestly I couldnt do this casual thing anymore. As I was In love with my now partner and couldn't be with anyone else, this was fairly easy to do. - Posted from rhpmobile

    The gentleman and I’ll call him that because he was. Met a new girl who he saw potential for a LTR. Sent me a msg and explained how he enjoyed our time together however he’d met someone. Naturally I was delighted for him. All ended well. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I would absolutely love to say have a polite chat.Tell them upfront whats going.If they did get upset I would point out that may mean they have feelings for me and they should've mentioned it earlier.. HOWEVER, no matter how often or how much I try to tell guys they dont need to stand me up or ghost me just let me know.I am cool.I have a life and better things to do than stalk some guy. They just vanish like casper. They stand me up, beat around the bush. Ignore me. I even say if you need space thats fine, you dont have to tell me everything i get it. Take the space. They still do it. So at the end of the day I would not spend too much time worrying about it. I'm so over the apparent double standards women are expected to conform to.Plus i believe it is why chicks go mental at them and I dont need to bother. Some other woman is tearing strips of them. In the end I would prob KIK them. Hey mate got stuff going on.Its been great fun you are a lovely guy, but I think we shall leave it at that... Thanks If I forgot to tell them I wouldn't feel bad either lol for those reasons. Men just do whatever they want anyway. Its ok to put yourself first.

    I was in the same boat as curiousnhorny. Just recently had a lovely FB tell me he'd met a beautiful woman and wanted a relationship with her. He was awesome, so of course I was sad, but I appreciated him telling me and we can still be friends and chat and leave the door open if things don't work out. I was happy for him too as he wanted the kind of relationship he saw that me and my husband have. We have had some awkward endings with others, perhaps being a little too honest? Consequently I now wonder if the fizzle-out option isn't better? I guess it depends on how attached or how long you were FB's for. I think if you've found someone else, then honesty is the best way to go, but if the chemistry just isn't there anymore, then I'd probably let things fizzle out, unless they were very persistent and then the cold hard truth is the only way. I think we all grow pretty thick skins here, so maybe ripping off the bandaid is the best approach. I'm not much help...Lol. All I can say is good luck!

    Just be honest. Again, approach is circumstantial. FB is different from FWB. However respect n honesty is still the key. FB is just that, you derive sexual gratification from each other without any other strings attached. Not even a friendship. Hence I don't hold those type of alliances in high esteem. Nor will I really enter into one. Having ONS is different from Fuck buddy situation. Different dynamics and set of expectations. Self explanatory. 😎

    Doesn't cost anyone anything. Following that principle, I would let the other person know catching up with them has been great, but it is time to move on.

    Be honest, be respectful but mostly be true to yourself. If its done it done but if you care enough about each other the honesty will be appreciated. - Posted from rhpmobile
