Blurry Lines

Friends with benefits are one of the most complicated relationships ever. Where does one thing end and the other one starts? How do you deal with the emotions that come along without freaking the other person out? 

I guess that's an answer I will never have…. 

You meet a boy on tinder, you talked for a few days, tell each other your flaws and some experiences of your past and boom you decide to be friends with benefits, no strings attached just amazing mind blowing sex. 

So you spend the night for the first time, you wake and he made you breakfast, “I could get used to this”  is your first thought 

But you shouldn't, in that moment you should have walked away from the mess. 

You both keep talking, getting to know each other and he mentions you meeting his baby. You hang out again and you talk about your life and the things he would do for you when you are officially dating.

That is your warning sign, walk Away. But you don't, you stay. 

You grab all the courage you got, you message him to tell him it's over that you can't do this because it's a dangerous path. You don't want to get hurt, he says "no" that you all need to talk about it.

He visits you, you talk about your relationship, he makes you cry but assures you everything will be alright and that friend with benefits it's the best way because he doesn't have enough time and he as baby drama. You decide to give him another chance. 

You tell him you are on birth control, he freaks out and thinks you are sleeping with other people. You tried to explain you were pregnant before and couldn't handle it again. He doesn't understand and runs away. 

He wants to talk again and asks for all your life details. You hate that but you make an effort for him. You talk again but this time he brought his baby, you freak out. 

He asks why are you are so weird, you explain that you can't handle a no feelings relationship without falling in love with the baby. He says it's okay.

You are good now, you are dating and happy. Or so you think. You ask about something weird you saw on facebook. He says he is dating that girl now. No warning sign, from one day to another. He talks about it with joy, you try to be okay but it breaks your heart. 

You ask for a simple explanation, why didn't he let you walk away when you ask? Why did he acted like that and so sudden? He says it's your fault for acting weird with his baby.

He thinks that's a fair answer, but your heart is now broken. You asked to walked away and he didn't let you, he said everything would be fine but he turned out an asshole. He asked for the truth and he lied to you.
