@qr-sa said: !!! I would like to just reassure you that such a relationship is possible, so long as both of you can learn to be satisfied by it. You will both give your all and it will be enough. I think, the clearest I ever saw it was in nin’s beyond good and evil, although akashi was only aromantic. Imagine it as a trusting life bond? That is what I wish for at least.
Yes, I’m aware of it in theory, I know it is possible. It is just that, my own mentality and view about this, as my current self, I cannot. Not because a partner, who accepts me does not exist but because I would not be comfortable with such an arrangement.
Until I realized I was aromantic (and asexual) I’ve always thought that I would fall in love, and that feeling will be the foundation of a romantic relationship with another. And to be frank, while I’m aware that it is not necessary for such a relationship, I’m unable to imagine myself in that context without romantic feelings... Does this even make sense...?
Also, I have to be very... lucky to find such a partner who would be find with this arrangement.
AND OH MY GOODNESS, BLESS NIN AND BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL, she taught me so much about love and sexuality and bonds with that fics, oh my gosh, bless BLESS!
AND IT WAS SURE LIKE THAT!! There was much pondering regarding trust too in BGE, but I JUSt GENERALLY LOVE to thINK it is like that, oh my gosh...
