However, not many people are cut out to compartmentalize intimacy like that. If you are a jealous type or you get anxious about getting attached or if you’re secretly wishing for a real relationship, FWB is not for you.
For successful friends with benefits, there should not be any jealousy of seeing the other person with someone else.
When you get jealous, be honest and discuss with your FWB partner the FWB relationship and if it’s truly working for you.
For example, if the man starts getting jealous, and you realize that you are not ready to get into a serious relationship with him, you need to consider detaching and letting the benefits side of the relationship go.
FWB relationship is an interdependent relationship style; therefore, you must respect the other person’s decisions and lifestyle.
