Men who have had a FWB- how did it go for you? Are you still friends?

It was supposed to be a one time FWB. Now we’ve been married for 7 years with two kids.
Take that for what you will.
Started off fwb… 6 months in we both caught feelings been together 12years, lived together for 11, now married for 2.
She caught feelings and got furious that I wanted to move away. She tried to Gaslight me into being the villain, didn’t work.
I’ve had like 30 FWBs.
Most of the ones that caught feelings (either me for her or her for me), we’re no longer friends.
But there are about 2 girls I caught feelings for, we took a break, I got over it, we’re no longer FWBs, however, we became really really close friends.
As for most of the rest… they kinda just faded out. But it’s the same thing that happens with normal regular friends.
Ive had a few, one i still talk to(shes getting married) and the others i do not
They have ended in various ways from amicably to drama filled. The only one I am still in regular contact with is a girl I’ve known for years at this point. Every year or two it seems like we have a week where we circle back and fuck each other. Then we go back to being friends.
I’m still friends with most of my FWBs. The ones I’m not, it’s more about time passing and people growing apart than any particular event that made us stop being friends.
I’ve had a lot of them. Communicate openly, transparently, and honestly, and they will remain friends long after she passes the benefits to someone else.
Don’t get jealous, and treat people with respect. It’s gold when you do it right.
Had a fun fwb situation with a girl one summer, but I caught feelings and it ended kinda sour. Nothing against her, she did the right thing for the situation.
I know it’s friends with benefits, but I read this as fat white bird
I had a couple when I was younger, and they both wanted it to evolve into a serious relationship, but I just wasn’t ready for that. Looking back, I really kind of regret letting one of them go.
First one: caught feelings, was ghosted.
Second one: caught feelings, dated for years, now married. oops
I had (and still have) many FWBs. I’ve become very close friend with a couple, including being in their weddings etc, and completely fizzled out with many others.
I not only worked with the girl I had as a FWB, but…at one point we both slept with the same girl. The three of us worked together for, about a good year and a half. At one point, the FWB and I decided that we could keep our thing going while having other FWBs. So, fast forward a few weeks later. I’ve got my FWB over, and we’re hanging out. I get a text from this girl I work with, and the FWB sees the name. Without hesitation, she’s like, “You two are hooking up, too?” I paused and, at first I thought FWB was angry, but…no. She proceeded to text this coworker on her phone, and before you know it, the FWB is showing me some spicy photos on her phone those two took together. We all stayed friends until we found out the coworker we both hooked up with had this thing where she would use explicit photos and texts as a way to keep people roped into being with her.
I prefer to fore go the benefits rather than loose a close friend. So never.
The f in fwb was never that strong anyway. We went at it for about a year, then it slowly fizzled out. I’d say we are still acquaintances on about the same level as before. So nothing changed there
Couple of times, one person always catches feelings. If not it usually just dissipates until somebody gets into a relationship
