I always thought that a "girlfriend" was a friend (someone who loves you unconditionally and has your back) that a guy was sexually intimate with. I've been told that I'm wrong, and I'm not sure I get it. What's the difference between that and a f**kbuddy?
Girlfriends are for long term relationships, the people you might want to marry later on and have children with and wake up seeing their face every day of your life.
I've had FWB relationships that I tried to carry further, and they lost interest in me instead, and it wounded our friendship. Of course, having minor internet meltdowns over it didnt help. I'm just starting to gain the emotional security to go from friend, to f**kbuddy, and back to friend without any loss of friendship. Some hard lessons learned.
