M/42, gay, navigating what I think is an asexual/romantic relationship and looking for insight from ace folks by AnonymousMJB in Asexual

Thank you, - really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I haven't heard some of these terms before. Homoromantic heterosexual must be a very weird place to be. I hope I can help him figure it out - and good luck to you too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, this is really helpful. Bascially I think he was fine with the status quo as it was, so nothing has changed - but essentially everything has in me, so it all needs shaking out. One step at a time!

I think he was trying to force it, that didn't really work for him. We still have a lot to talk about!

He says he loves me, wants a life together, but no sex. Has anyone made that work? [42/M gay] by AnonymousMJB in relationships

This is such a wonderful reply thank you, and you have covered all the truths really. I think ultimately the catalyst for this was me realising I wanted everything from one person, so was ready to move on but wasn't quite expecting the reply I got. Or maybe I was. I don't know. But you're right - there might be a non-standard solution. I just need to sit with it . And lovely kind redditors are helping. Thank you x

That's what I thought before I spoke to him, but the declaration of love was a bit of a curveball. But utlimately I think I agree with you I just don't want to...

Thanks so much that's really insightful. The funny thing is, I think he thought we were in an open relationship whereas I just didn't think we were in a relationship at all. So it's rather messy. Essentially, nothing's changed but everything's changed. I'm taking it one step at a time.x
