For all the adult affair finders who try FWB relationship, if they want to get the most benefit from the friends with benefits relationship, they should understand the rules of keeping the relationship healthy. Moreover, for the special group of single mothers, if they want to benefit from this NSA relationship at the expense of their own interests, they should understand and abide by the following rules.
Understand what FWB is
In a causal relationship like this, your partner is physically attractive to you and indifferent to your family life and emotional state. And, ideally, you won't try to rely on your sexual partner or try to be able to save you from the mud. So you should not expect your sexual partner to do anything at any time. Don't expect him to share the pressure for you. Don't expect him to sympathize with you because of what happened to you.
Don't introduce your FWB to your children
This is a crucial point for single mothers. He's not your boyfriend or your future husband. He's just your bedmate. If your child knows the physical connection between you, it will have a huge negative impact on your divine image in your child's heart. Moreover, if your child is a minor, it will seriously affect his physical and mental health. So I suggest you not introduce your sexual partner to your children.
You should not meet your FWB at your home
This suggestion is similar to the second one. The reason you can't meet at home is to prevent your sexual partner from meeting your child. Don't try to bring your sexual partner back to your home after your child is asleep. As long as your children hear any strange sounds at night, they will know clearly what happened at home. So, in order to avoid these troubles, you'd better choose your meeting place in your sexual partner's home or hotel.
Don't ask him for help
In real life, single mothers always encounter many problems. When they are helpless, they will subconsciously yearn for help from people who are closely related to them. But this does not apply to a NSA relationship. You all know that your relationship is about sex. Besides, you don't have any contact. So don't ask your sexual partner for help when you find that your refrigerator is broken or you have any difficulties. This will only accelerate the end of the relationship.
