Is the best solution to have a monogamous fwb situation or to keep looking for mr. Right.
I may be a little jaded, but I don't believe Mr or Ms right exists. I feel that searching for perfection just leads to picking out too many flaws in every potential person and disappointment. I'm sure there are those out there who would disagree with me though.
Given my beliefs though, I think exploring whether there might be more with someone you already care about as a friend could be healthy since you already have some common ground to work with. This isn't exactly the fwb situation you mention though. There is also the potential fallout should the relationship go south, so that has to be factored into the equation as well.
I think a fwb is ok but once in a relationship it should end.
Rewindit, the best advice I can give you is this: when you find someone you love, deep down real love, and if they feel the same way towards you, that is your Mr. Right. The key to a long, lasting and happy relationship is to find perfection in their imperfections. Be open, honest and sincere with eachother, learn to not sweat the small stuff, don't let an issue or problem to fester instead talk about it when it happens. And don't change yourself for another nor expect them to change for you.
@Rewindt I liked this question. zombiepenguin your advice Rocks! I will be celebrating my 20 years Anniverary in Summer...... So I know what I'm speaking about..... Yes, Communication, Infidelity, Comprimised, Honesty, and Cherished each other. These are my main qualities for a good marriage: Communication : you needed to talked to each other everyday, tried to know, what is going on in each other Lives. Even stay at homes mom/dad need you to talked to them, they needed to be Validated. Infidelity: that is self explanatory, please don't go outside the marriage looking for What? You have it All in front of you! That's where communication ties in. Compromised: yes, opposites attracted most likely you won't see eye, to eye, you may not get your way all the time, sometimes is OK. Honesty: Tell your patner/ spouse how you feel openly, and honestly, but not hurtful. For eg. Your mother drives me nuts, but she can come to dinner, and I'll decided what we're having not her, she can bring a dish, if she wanted to, the kids loved her .......! Cherished: Yes, we as humans needed affection, so desperately, make sure you get it everyday from your man or woman! There is no Mr Right, if you looking for that, you are in for disappointment! But as @zombiepenguin posted, is" to find the perfection in their imperfections." Yes, learn not to sweaed the small stuff, don't let issues festered, instead talked about it, when it happened.." Key: "Don't changed yourself for another, nor expected them to changed for you." Yes that's it! Just as my teenaged kids say," a Just Be You!" Be strong, the best is yet, to followed..... SG friends are here, to support, and be supported. Be Hopeful. "True love last."
