I was in a FWB-type situation with a man for about a year (we are both in our early 30s). The sex was phenomenal, and we enjoyed each other's company outside the bedroom too. On an emotional level we kept things casual because of one simple but crucial dealbreaker: I have always known that I do not want to have children, and he feels strongly about being a father someday. That was fine with me and I was content to enjoy what we had while it lasted.Then he met someone he wanted to start a real relationship with and stopped seeing me. That would have been fine, except the way he handled it really hurt my feelings. He just stopped calling, and removed me as a friend on Facebook without a word of explanation. Not even a "by the way, I met someone, so bye" text message. I always knew that what we had came with an expiration date, but I still feel like I was owed the common courtesy of being told that our situation was changing. I tried to confront him about this when I ran into him at a party but he laughed in my face and accused me of being jealous. Friends I've told about this have said something along the lines of, "Well, what did you expect? It wasn't a real relationship." I know it wasn't, but does that really mean I deserve to be thrown away with the trash without so much as a word?
I am not going to confront him again or do any other pathetic attempt at "closure" because I know I would only make myself look like an ass, I am just hoping to get your opinion on the situation.
