My partner doesn't really use tumblr, so I'm gonna just ramble
This is probably the happiest I've been in a relationship for a long time. Not to say my last relationship wasn't great, because I still love him dearly and their my best friend, but we both realised that we were on the aromantic spectrum and our relationship was just friendship with extra steps
In terms of romantic feelings, this is the most content I have been. Regardless of where those feelings lie on the spectrum, whether hyper romantic or very little, I know that I love my partner in a way that goes beyond that. I loved them before, and if things ever get to that point, I hope I can still love them after
In the 9 months we've been together, they've shared so many interests with me. Far Cry 5, Hatsune Miku, Helluva Boss, Gravity Falls, old RPG horror games (Witch's House, Mad Father and Misaou), as well as things we already both enjoyed and could continue to bond over
They also bought me a freaking lego piano for Christmas. Do you know how much that shit is?!
We both deal with things in similar ways, go through similar emotions, battle through similar struggles, and understand in those moments to be patient
I have never met them. This is someone I grew to know through online communities we shared. October will be the first time I get to meet them, after over a year of dating by that point. And yet, I feel more comfort with them than any previous partner
They really mean so much to me, and it's a little sad to think that when I first interacted with them, I was put off by their negativity and even avoided games with them because I found it draining. Once I got to know them, learned why they were so negative about things, I grew to not only understand but actively tried to support and help them, which led to us growing closer and closer
Anyway, if anyone reads this, hi XD wanted to just ramble about them for a bit because there's a different joy talking about your partner just because you can rather than doing so in a way that they see/hear it
