Ending FWB...best way to do it

    Basically I've been in a FWB situation for a few months. It started as dating but we weren't all that compatible with where we were headed in life so it ended and a month later I met him out and we started seeing each other a couple of times a week, hanging out, sleeping together.
    We text/call every day.

    Anyway, I haven't seen him in a few weeks because we've been busy. But we've spoken every day.

    Anyway, I had a lot of time to think it over and this is not what I want anymore.
    I need him and he isn't there for me in the way I want him to be. Which is the nature of FWB, but my feelings for him are stronger now. I don't love him but I expect too much from him. I've become needy and insecure because he isn't giving me what I need. I can't do it anymore.

    I need to tell him this. That I don't like what I've become, what we've become.

    He will want to stay friends but I need to cut him off totally. It's just me, it's who I am.

    I don't want him to think I'm mad at him or that he's hurt me. After all, it's my fault that I agreed to FWB but now I can't hack it.


    How should I tell him? It will most likely be done by text as I won't get to see him for another week at least. I don't want to put myself down either.
    Is it ok to just say I need more and I want to move on from this and in order to move on I need space.

    You can't get more honest than that. Tell him just that. The FWB situation doesn't suit anymore, and that you're not compatible as a couple so while it was fun, you're just interested in seeing him anymore.

    Just be honest, he'll understand. If he doesnt then tough. Tell him you need no contact too so you dont get booty call texts in the middle of the night.
