I have been very good friends with this guy for almost 5 years now. We were both in relationships but unfortunately we still decided to mess around. I know this was wrong. I stopped the casual sex for two years to try to work on my home relationship. I recently left my boyfriend of 10 years a few months ago. Now that we are both single we started talking and hooking up again. He says that he has feelings for me and always has. We talk on a daily basis and it is not always about the sex. He says that he doesn't want a relationship but he doesn't want me to see anyone. He calls me his special friend. I don't want to sell myself short with a meaningless sex based relationship. I'm not sure what I should do

Then stop wasting your time being a special friend. He said its going nowhere but to bed, and that's friends with benefits.

Don't have sex and see how special you are to him.

I agree. Doesn't seem special at all.

He doesn't really want you, yet puts demands on who you see. Yeah right.

Weird. He just wants you around for booty calls.

Plus you both started by cheating on your partners.

Tisk, tisk...
