Tough as it may be, honesty is really the best policy. There is no point inventing an imaginary bf with whom you are looking to develop a serious relationship as an excuse for the "break". This type of character needs to be taught a lesson, it needs to sink in that his FWB (i.e you) left because your life is simply better without him, and not because you found someone better. That's a powerful message to send across.

If the guy is treating you in this way for the communication, then it doesn't seem to be fair for you. It's all about respect for each other in order to enjoy the fun together. Just my own thoughts on this.

It looks like he doesn't see you as someone who is important to him. You may not be his only FB, where he only comes to you when he needs you to satisfy his urge.

Well the main issue is that this current fb is starting to have some etiquette issues. He’ll text to ask if I’m available, but if I can’t make it and I request to reschedule, he doesn’t reply after. He just leaves me hanging without even replying. I am starting to find this really rude of him. I believe there should be a basic level of courtesy right? At least reply and not ghost me on text. So it’s an issue of etiquette.

I feel the sister above and understand how slighted she feels for her texts or messages to be ignored by her boyfriend, in her own words "He just leaves me hanging without even replying ".

Agree fully with what the above 3 brothers said especially the third brother who said the basic courtesy of messaging or texting is to give a reply to the sender however short that may be perhaps something as short as "yes, no or wait". To not reply totally and go radio silent after that is a signal of their complete disregard for you as a person and a friend. Such people are not worth being friends with and they should be removed from your friends' list permanently. Sad to say, there are also quite a number of female members in here who are also ignoring PMs sent to them, the friendly type not those harassing ones
