Let any aromantic person know that you do not have to define any relationship as romantic for the comfort of anyone. You can have a deep intimate closed relationship with someone and not allow it to be called romance. Whether you're doing it because your partner would feel better if it were called that or the outside world would have an easier time defining it that way, you are allowed to insist on the relationship not being romantic. Even if your partner feels romantic love for you. Frankly, even if you feel romantic love for your partner. You are allowed to insist it be a QPR or a deep friendship or completely unlabeled or whatever the hell you want it to be that's not romance. You do not need to fit your relationship into an anatonormative box if it's not comfortable for you.
