Women get attached to men they’re sleeping with. That’s what happened to you. You may have thought you could have a no strings attached relationship with this guy, but clearly, that’s not the case. 😳
You can’t have both things — a best friend you sleep with and aren’t monogamous with [i]and[/i] a man you share a romance and sex with. You can only have one. Since the former isn’t working for you (and I would have advised you long ago it wouldn’t, if you’d asked me), you have to quit being his best friend and sleeping with him. You’re only in for heartbreak as long as you stay on that path.
Men sleep with women because they can. You can’t expect him to treat you like someone special when you haven’t presented yourself as that kind of person. The truth is that men want to conquer women. They want to chase them, pursue them, overcome obstacles and finally win the grand prize! If you change your tune and become the woman that this guy wants to chase after, then you may have a shot at being his one and only. But if you continue sleeping with him while being buddies, it will never work for you.
