Hey man, really good post.
I dont mean well written, or even well thought out, just very authentic.. self awareness and honest communication are the most important things to progress!
Im curious actually, can you tell us a little more about yourself?
Career/work situation, living situation, friends situation etc...
The reason why I ask is, I'm in a similar situation to you, but with a few differences as well. I broke up with my gf about 7-8 weeks ago, and it has been hard to get my head around what I am doing now with women, what kind of women I want in my life, what kinds of arrangements etc.
The way I see it is, a relationship (whether it be fwb, mltr, exclusive etc) should be the icing on the cake - it should enhance your life, not define it.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that the reason why many relationships fail is that people are walking around with the "glass half empty" asking someone else to fill it! Instead, our glasses should be full, overflowing, that way we can give value to the women we have in our life, we can truly "leave them better than we found them".
This leads to much healthier relationships, and much more settled dynamics in any FWB/MLTR situation as well.
If you are not happy without women in your life, you surely wont be happy and content when you have them in it
