Sometimes I feel like I am an asshole.

Well, I think people are right, and nothing good comes from friends with benefits, and someone is eventually hurt. Apparently, she wants something more than that, and I cannot be in a relationship right now. She knows that, but I guess it's not that easy for either of us to be normal friends at this point.

A while ago, she said we have to be normal friends, and I agreed since I am starting to feel bad and guilty because of how she feels and what she wants from us. She came to my place some days ago to watch a movie together, but the next thing I knew, we were in bed. I don't even remember how it happened.

It's becoming like a cycle. There is some distance between us for some time, but we end up being FWB again after a while. I want it to stop. But I think the only way is we stop being friends, and it's not that easy.

Why can you not be in a committed relationship?

@SW-User probably wants to be keep meeting others and stuff like that or simply commitment issues or doesn't like something about her but only he can tell

@SW-User Because I don't think it's the right time for me to be in a committed relationship right now. I'll probably move to another country in a few months, and then if we are already in a committed relationship, we have to break up or end up in a long-distance relationship.

@LookingForTheSummer Have you talked that through with her though? Maybe she would also be interested in living in the other country?

@SW-User It's not possible. We have different plans for the future.
