Ending causal relationship

2 Comments

I've had a causal thing with this guy for 4 years now, and he's been pretty disappointing (not following through on plans, literally standing me up, putting me down, not responding to texts, being critical). We recently had a long discussion about my concerns and what I need him to change, and he agreed to make the changes. During our last conversation though, he sort of lashed out at me, and it made me feel bad. He stopped responding mid conversation, which is typical for him. I'm ready to end things with him. How should I do it?

Block him now 4
Don't block, but don't respond if he texts 2
If he texts, tell him it's over, but don't explain 2
If he texts, tell him it's over, explain why 4
Reach out and tell him it's over, explain why 11
Reach out and tell him it's over, but don't explain why 3
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Friends with benefits is not a relationship. The whole point is to remain friends who have casual sex, while being free to see other people. Serious talks, texting, spending a lot of time together and more are all things a couple does, which makes it not casual. He's wrong for putting you down and standing you up, but you both are foolish for going too far with this arrangement and letting it go on for this long. End it and move on.
