Twice. For me atleast both turned complicated after awhile. For the start it's fun cause obviously you are still getting laid but feelings remain for the one of the persons involved and then it becomes a poo show. Avoid at all costs. Better to just cut your losses now and move on

Yea I know it can get really ugly but it's hard to cut someone off cold turkey when you were with them for almost 3 years like I was with my ex.  We just have a lot of mutual friends and see each other by accident sometimes.  Hard to get away from her and not have old feelings surface.

Which is exactly why you need to cut it off. If you guys keep screwing around but aren't exclusive you have the chance of running into her with another guy. Better to just cut ties and have a fresh start then holding yourself back. You guys broke up for a reason.

Friends with benefits with an ex leads to more pain for the one that didn't want it to end in the first place.  Unless the one that didn't want it to end in the first place finds another person that they chose to exclusive with and ends the FWB themselvs.  Still can end up hurting someone.

It all depends on how the split happened. Did the FWB with an ex after we broke up. We had a good time because we knew we didn't work in a relationship but we did in the sack and were ok with it. It was just fun times for a while but eventually it ended when we both moved on and started dating other people.

Personal experiences:

 

1:  She ended relationship.  We became FWB shortly afterwards.  I found someone else.  She was hurt.

 

2.  She ended relationship.  We became FWB year later.  She ended it.  I was hurt.

 

3.  I ended the relationship.  We became FWB.  I ended FWB.  She was hurt.

 

4.  I ended the relationship.  We became FWB.  We got back together.  We're married.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
