FWB can and can not work based on the couple involved.
Rules MUST be FIRMLY in placed prior to engaging.
It is extremely complicated as you guys were in a prior long term relationship
There are two paths with very different endings.
1. Everything plays according to plans. BOTH of you keeps emotions separate from the "FWB." When it comes time to end, a discussion happens and the FWB ends happily and peacefully.
2. One of you will start to re-develop feelings and start to take the FWB relationship too seriously. Jealousy develops and starts to impede on the other individual. A bitter argument will happen and feelings of regret will surface.
I personally don't think going into FWB with your ex is a good idea. There has to be some residual feelings left over from your relationship. You guys did go out for 5+years. It will get messy/complicated fast.
Also, how did you guys break up? The thought that she is using the FWB as a means to get together with you again crossed my mind immediately.
