(For more context, please see previous post)
I 24F initiated a FWB situation with 29M at the beginning of July, as a virgin with no romantic or sexual experience. Had all my firsts with him. I wanted to develop a friendship with him, but I don’t think he liked me or cared to know me outside of the bedroom. We had sex several times.
He assured me at the beginning that he was not in a relationship, not dating, and although he did want a relationship in the future, he wasn’t looking for one at the time.
Well… he started seriously dating another woman 2 weeks ago while we were still having sex. I know we weren’t exclusive, so I can’t be mad at him for deceit or a lack of communication. Still, my mental health and self esteem has been destroyed. I expressed how I felt and his indifference made me feel even worse. Please give me advice on how to start healing.
Edit: I’m not angry that he started dating someone. I’m up self because FWB has the word “friends” in it, and I don’t think I was treated how a friend should be treated. I don’t lie to my friends, use them,or react indifferently to their feelings . I feel betrayed.
