The psychological control has even poisoned my children to the extent I have had no contact from them for the 10 yrs since we split up.
I punted for quite a while, but was wanting a bit more, and the SB arrangement gives me that.
There is a bit of commitment, there is connection, and we both know that either of us can walk at any minute, so we put a bit of effort into making sure the arrangement works. A true FWB relationship.
I know that she will eventually walk away from me for someone closer to her own age, and I'll deal with that when it happens.
After putting up with marital shit for so long, I now live in the moment, and enjoy the company of a young lady who knows which side her bread is buttered on.
