It seems like drama is a must for any long term situation. Guys I know with long term FWBs or LTRs don't have frame at all. Act needy and whiny, fall into their girl's frame or needs, then she does something that makes them mad, they lose their temper, start drama, get in their feelings and be a dick to get back at her, apologize to her, squash it and repeat. That stoicism shit seems to actually dry a plate's pussy after a few months.
