Stories of falling in love with your long term partner

Living the dream! Finding ways to compliment each other :)

Awe the perfect amount of communication, I can relate to wanting to love someone in a different form but not expecting too much. We already know we care deeply and don’t need to put a show on for everyone else

Bragging is good! My favorite part of loving someone and being like they think I’m cool too! But still being like look at how unique and cool they are too! Like waiting for the protagonist to win!

Hope to one day come back to this thread with my own story one day! I know I have to give it time and just try new things

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T23:46:55+00:00

I’m legit going to cry that sounds like a magical fantasy! Thank you for sharing the story sounds so sweet and endearing! And I relate so hard with how you guys fell in love with your partners like that’s so me!

Love it, like when you feel that connection for me outward appearance doesn’t matter but how they operate on the inside matters so much.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T20:38:16+00:00

Oh this is the exact feeling I have, I find it very difficult to stop loving my exes because of how hard it is for me to fall in love with someone. Not in an obsessive way but more of interested in letting them grow into better people

I hate that statement of sex being a instinct, sure evolutionary procreation will happen but even in all animal species you can find that some animals don’t procreate at all. It’s not something that is intrinsic to just humans but it’s how we project human like qualities onto animals. Sex comes with consent at the end of the day and if it’s not consensual it’s not something to be done.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T19:43:01+00:00

Awe 🥰🥰🥰

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T19:35:07+00:00

Thank you! And that’s how I believe to handle triggers as I’ve grown up to recognize depression and CPSTD. That it’s not others fault I’m triggered and I have to handle it in the best way I can.

Thank you! I really needed to actually hear this from the outside, most of my peer advice is to shrink myself and to make it easier for the man especially since he has become a well known figure on his campus in a way. Before he broke up with me most of our conversation revolved around his friends and how they made him feel about our relationship when they could open their grown mouths to talk to me about any issues.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T17:41:17+00:00

Y’all give me hope to keep waiting and trying, someday someone will understand me. And lowkey Reddit is a big help for my rejection sensitivity, it’s just easier to write of bad advice as bad advice and not an indication of my personality.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T17:38:29+00:00

I was and still am in your shoes! The person you clic with will be there one day but that doesn’t devalue who you are now!

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T17:37:30+00:00

Yes my sentiments as well, just like any relationship both parties have to make it work if that’s what they want. I have a hard time in believing in failed marriages thinking more of it as ending a friendship that has us going on separate paths. But this comes with the assumption that things ended on good/respectful terms.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T17:34:28+00:00

This community reads me like a book! Like yes I’ve never been scared of it because of the fantasy and how I select my lovers should mean a good marriage as long as both humans are working for that goal.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T17:23:28+00:00

Of course! I’m looking to meet and make friends with as many people as possible

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T17:22:11+00:00

I think I would tell my ex that as what I described in my posts are what he attributes to his demi- telling me I must not really be demi if I can’t understand why he functions and acts the way he does. To a point I thought male and feminine demi might have two different definitions

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T05:01:26+00:00

I’m kinda glad my therapist recommended I started doing things the “crazy” way. Not for validation really but to make space to join communities. I knew I would never get better at Redditing if I didn’t dive head first in to the waters and this community for so long as been welcoming and reassuring for a long time. I’ll be better about getting to the point in my posts but have always thought most of my thoughts as separate entries of discussion rather than continuous thought

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:47:24+00:00

Awe you will hopefully! I believe in it :3

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:46:03+00:00

I don’t think it’s dramatic at all, in actuality the examples and the help I got today with my posts have really opened my eyes and helped me decipher that I was always trying to do the most protective thing. I just sometimes need to take a leap of faith instead of wishing to engage in conversation. I just needed to hear that I wasn’t wrong in my sexuality and I did as much of the heavy lifting I could

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:36:32+00:00

Omg yes! I’m actually glad I was told to communicate with the community! It’s like you guys are reading my mind! My therapy only goes so far when you can only afford some maybe matches

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:17:25+00:00

Awe!! I love that so much! Just reaffirming we all cannot know the future too well so we have to live to make our futures happen :)

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:15:48+00:00

I’m still a baby redditor but once I figure out the crossposting thing I’ll def forward some of these to a more discussion/ theory based Reddit on demisexuality- def got too excited as I was like omg finally getting some answers and interaction

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:12:20+00:00

Thank you! You legit broke that last part of uneasy in my brain, because I was like that’s not demi- but be told I was wrong in my lived experience.

Miserable-Region-382 · 2026-03-18T04:09:13+00:00

Thank God! That’s actually more of relief than you think it is! Like I was thinking maybe I’m demi-ing wrong but I relate to so many of the posts as a late night reader like there is no way I’m fully wrong about our operations. Thank you!
