as a love integral aro, and someone who is partnering-integral, who is now with someone who i think is the whole rest of my life, seeing anti romantic aro content is so weird to me. like i used to be flat out uncomfortable with it, but now its just like. staring at something foreign.
my partner is the last thing i want to see at night, every night. my partner makes me interested in monogamy. my partner makes me feel things ive never felt before. my partner feels like safety and warmth and the feeling of fullness because someone wanted to care for you and having a home. they feel like my home. wherever they are *is* home. no effort. no questions asked. they make me dream of a future i never thought id have. id go anywhere with them. ill see movies id never like to watch them get excited. their interests are the most engaging thing in the world. i can just sit with them in silence- without affectionate action or anything. driving in the car with them is one of the things that can make me laugh. i trust them. if they dont tell me something, i know without doubt they will tell me eventually, whenever theyre ready.
i dont have to do anything now, because it will always come eventually. we have the rest of our lives to figure it out.
and like this isn’t exclusive to romantic attraction, but i am. it’s something that i adore and want for the rest of my life. before them it was optional. im content with it having been optional. i dont need it. im still very aro. but anti romantic aro content is just…. foreign to me now. its not even remotely connected to my current experiences.
i might transition back to making more romantic-aro content, because its been lacking, but ill still share everything i have been. i just… think i want to see/share more content revolving around romantic experiences like mine. since i havent seen much outside of the culture-is blogs.
romantic aro experiences are so diverse and purely romantic aro experiences like mine are so wonderful to see around. thats all!
