I don't know where to start.. I have been in a "friends with benefits (FWB)" relationship for a ridiculous amount of time. Initially it was because i was hurt very badly in another relationship and when it ended i needed a friend and he was there.

As time went on i realised i also had urges that needed to be filled but as i still wasn't ready for a 'real' relationship my friend and i became FWB's.

Now a LOT of time has gone by and i have fallen deeply in love with him. He has been always honest with me so it was no real surprise when i confessed my feelings and he said he was happy to keep things the way they are.

I am travelling overseas next year so in my own mind i have decided to stay FWB's with him until i leave.

Please understand that I am not a stupid or silly person, i can see how sad and desperate my story sounds. The fact of the matter is that i am an overweight girl and my self-esteem is little to non-existent. I am utterly scared that there really is no-one out there for me. I AM scared of being alone and i enjoy the sexual contact very much.

Anyway that's my situation. What (legitimate)suggestions/opinions does anyone out there have?
