2025 recap

2 - TWO of my male friends were physically assaulted by their girlfriends for being “caught” talking to me. Wow I don’t understand alloromantics

[aroace-menace]

Romance isn’t real, it’s a marketing scam made up by the wedding industry to sell more weddings. It’s 2023 people, wake up.

[apothiarrow]

People will spend half the amount on a funeral than they would a wedding, they value signing yourself and half your assets to someone more than your livelihood

[moonprismpower456]

Sometimes I wake up and I’m like “If I hear about romance today I’m killing the hostages”

[apothiarrow]

I try very hard to avoid conversations about falling in love getting married having kids by avoiding holiday celebrations entirely. However, all the holidays are jam packed at the end of the year so people are more out and about socializing, and I’m still empathetic enough to want to hear others out. People have cool stories!

I’m exhausted but can’t sleep, it’s almost 3 am wish I didn’t hear all that. I’m deeply disturbed by the threat of being apart of a nuclear family

[lionpawzzzz]

they dont tell you this about being aroallo but if you have a relationship with somebody that involves casual or friendly sex or sexual behavior and then that person gets into a monogamous romantic relationship the chances of them slowly forgetting about you is high

[apothiarrow]

I’m heartbroken over how I’m going to lose more friends when they find a romantic partner and act like partner forced them to block me

[thetempestechoes]

"You'll find a romantic partner eventually" I fucking hope not

[apothiarrow]

Dae take this as a threat? I just said I don’t enjoy that, so why wish my worst fear upon me?

[willgrahamscock]

one man’s phobia is another man’s kink

[willgrahamscock]

and it’s the same man

aro culture is being kinda sad that people take kindness as an invitation to romance. That sorta implies that kindness isn't a bare minimum but some signal that you want to date.

anon you are right and you should say it!

[arorambling]

sorry to put this in a meme format, it just made more sense that way

just the usual bitterness! please prove me wrong? do we (collectively) realize that the fight for an affordable life is an aro issue as well?

[peach-pot]

recently saw a comment section full of people, primarily women, talking about loving living with their best friend and being sad about having to live separately one day. some people talking about missing living with their best friend, some talking about “getting” to live with their best friend “until” they find partners. saw one person mention that moving out to move in with a partner felt like a divorce. it makes me so genuinely sad… all these people recognizing the joy they can find living outside the norm, letting themself live with a friend instead of a romantic partner, but still feeling like they have to live with a spouse eventually. like it’s not even a decision, just an inevitability.

I dont want to attend a wedding

I don’t care how perfect your fiancée is, give it four years

Enough about the marital problems divorce

I don’t care that’s your boyfriend he can turn me down and I don’t see him doing that :p don’t be mad at me go be mad at him for buying me a drink

Your wedding dress and cake looks the same as literally every other wedding dress and cake.

I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR ROMANCE it means nothing to me. If no one’s gonna be excited and accepting of our aromanticism why should we reciprocate?

[heatwa-ves]

romance is so fucking boring why don't you kill and eat eachother instead

[apothiarrow]

I want something closer more intimate than romance, if you need to sign yourself and your assets away to someone legally then they probably don’t trust you that much

[hannaxjo]

Aroallo culture is going to the aroallo tag and have the first post be about asexuality

[anarochist]

Aro who likes hookups call that sleeping AROund

[twinkpussysupremacy]

listening to other peoples relationships (both healthy and damaged ones) reminds me how insanely aromantic i am

[apothiarrow]

And it’s usually them complaining that they’re in a romantic relationship as if it’s the only type of relationship they’re allowed to have with said person? “It’s romantic until I find someone else to be romantically committed to then we can’t talk anymore again sorry”

Anywaays why do alloromantics cut off their exes they agreed to be friends with once they find a new replacement romance?

[apothiarrow]

Guys Some people just wanna get cracked with zero commitment. Maybe the most “perfect date” sounds genuinely stressful and BORING. Double check someone is actually alloromantic too before putting expectations on them
