Without judging your decisions about having what you call a "booty" relationship, the fact of the matter is that many of the men that would welcome this type of relationship will be less than what I would call decent men.

I don't do the booty, friends with benefits thing, but I will say this trying to be objective. Regardless of whether you're in an exclusive attached relationship or not with this guy, he is a manipulative jerk.

It sounds like he manipulates you into being pulled into things but I could be wrong but you don't sound like you're all that into the guy except I guess, the sex. Is it worth the pain he causes you for the sex?
