Is it normal to have feelings for a friend w/ benefits?

Yes, I am a woman...lol! I've had a friend w/ benefits for a year now, & I have called it quits w/ him a few times. He does not want a commitment & dates other women. I really do feel that we have a connection on more than a sexual nature. He has been there for me during some really rough times. He has also told me several times that we can stop having sex...that he still wants to be friends. I don't consider myself naive, but I really believe him. I want a relationship, & even though I've tried to convince myself that our relationship is good the way it is, I now realize that I've been lying to myself. I know it probably sounds like I am a stupid, naive fool, & I just may be. Logically, I know this isn't right, but I know I need to end things w/ him. Can anyone else relate?

    If he doesn't want a relationship, stop sleeping with him. It'll only make your feelings for him stronger. Or you can learn to separate the physical and the emotional, which in my opinion is impossible for women.

    ..when will people realise FWBs don't last? You either get hurt or end up wanting more. Learn.

    Well, you don't sound a naive fool at all. It's good that you actully realize the situation your head was in, and you actually do have feelings for him. But if he doesn't want a relationship. What can you do? And if you keep having sex with him, feelings are going to come out.
