How come you don't finish with your main partner and become exclusive with your fwb?

I mean, if you feel affection and are mentally attracted to one and feel non-sexual affection for the other. I do understand that there's pain involved here. I hope you do what is best for you, I'm just curious.

I am heavily involved in business matters with my main partner...we are completely financially intertwined....We run 3 business together...and I do have affection for him....he is important to me...and I am important to him.....I am just not able to treat them both exactly the same...Things balance themselves out...he has his other girlfriend who he spends a lot of time with...She gives him things that I can't.....and visa versa...My other partner is very rigid and ASish and needs his space....We all hang out together and are friends and care about each other...there is no need for me to quit my main partner....
Flakey can be really patient and understanding at times when my other partner might be prone to fly off his rocker....I think that we are both physically more attuned to our "other" partners...it is just the way it works itself out...

I understand a bit better now. I hope things get easier for you.

I hope things get better for you soon. I am in quite a bit of a funk myself regarding my social life, so I know how it feels.

I remember when I broke up with a good friend, a few years back. I was in a black hole of green haired rebellion, for two and a half years, going by the name, Sid instead of my chosen user name. I'm doing well, again. I feel as together as I did in 96-97, before I had to see a shrink.
