A very longwinded story spanning over 10 yrs, but I can try to keep it brief.

We met in high school, we hung out all the time right up until graduation.

Somewhere along the lines he said "you love me" and the glass of what I thought was a platonic friendship was shattered forever even though we never dated on HS.

We graduated in '02 with hearts and wrists intact, he left the following year to travel and I had a baby.

Fast forward 5 yrs to '07 and we befriended eachother on FB, he was still travelling then.

2 years later in '09 he was back in the country and we met up. A not so platonic meeting apparantly we still had feelings for each other 7 yrs on. We decided to be fwb instead, it just suited us both. Were seeing eachother on and off for the past 3 years and then mutually exclusively on so far since January of this year.

Whats funny is that neither of us have been seeing anyone else he admittedly did try dating and such, but it never lasted longer than a few weeks, he didn't try hard I guess? And me? another man has never been an option since he came back... So the fwb was a sham or a boatload of denial on both our parts I guess, but it helped us get to where we are today.

We're in a rocky patch right now, idk if we'll even make it tbh. Writing this was really hard for me with the future suddenly so uncertain, but it seemed right to share it with you.
