eyeswideopen agony auntYou were being used just as you were using him, that's what you guys agreed to when you decided to go with the "friends with benefits" gig. You have no right to be mad at him. That arrangement is usually a crock and someone always ends up hurt and it's most frequently the female. You have two options: move out or talk to him and see if your relationship should be upgraded to boyfriend/girlfriend.

"friends with benefits" is not a comitted relationship. It's where 2 people basically come together to fulfill needs. You've obviously become emotionally connected which isn't good. He doesn't see you as his girlfriend he sees you as the girl he can get pleasure from when he feels the need.

That's it!

blazee agony auntif he has been living with you chances are he likes you two.

look dont forget that in every persons life only one relationship stays true. eg the person you marry and dont brake up with, that is if you get married at all.

chances are whoever he is dating, it isnt going to work out..so if you feel insecure about telling him straight away you can always wait but he wouldnt be living with you if he didnt like you either. i would tell him your feelings, and see how it goes. but if you want to wait them wait. your saying hes asking you why are you mad? its better to tell him then...if you wait your relationship as friends will get worse and you will have a lot of feeling like what if and what could have been.

go for it, and all the best yeah? xx
