I Have Been Thinking

Replying to question just now about "friends with benefits" I feel compelled to say whats on my mind.
So if a person knows exactly what they want without commitment how does things turn out exactly the opposite? My confession is I have come to a point where I am considering having a friend with benefits, its not because I am a woman that does not respect myself or my body enough to share this intimacy with someone that loves me but it's because I can't love again. My mind is on a shut down mode to love or affection, the only love I can spare is that which I have in abundance for my kids and close family. I know without a doubt in my mind that I don't need love nor can I love again.
The only reason I have never acted on the way I feel because I know if feelings eventually develope, its not going to be me. I won't want to hurt anyone. Also how does one approach such a sensitive subject with the other person?

After reading your story, I don't think it would be a good idea, in fact you need exactly the opposite you're telling now.

So you think I need to be loved?
You think I just got up oneday after a horrible break up and decided I can't love again? I assure you this is not the case.

@WiseGirl: You think having sex with a FWB would solve your hurt feelings, ore even improve some things?

@kingkyrie: Oh no, I am no longer hurting. Life has started to move on swiftly. The only need for a FWB is to subside my physical need.
