@Disney2019 it’s ok to love another person. When we love another person it’s not like we are supposed to just stop loving and caring about that person if a relationship for what ever reason doesn’t turn into a committed relationship agreed by both individuals.

With this situation this individual is not going to provide you with a commitment on his end. This means you need to accept that and stop engaging in things both individuals do when they want the relationship commitment. It sounds like this guy isn’t able to stop having a friend with benefits relationship. That means it’s up to you to make changes so can look for someone else that is capable of having a more committed relationship. It’s time for you to set boundaries.

I keep seeing the dump and block suggestions. And you don’t always have to do that. You can have an honest discussion and set up boundaries so you are no longer engaging in a friends with benefits relationship. If you feel you can’t do that then you will need to distance for yourself.

He may never be able to commit to a relationship. That’s on him not you and you want a relationship so you need to free yourself up so you can find someone else.
