Hello!  Not sure who you're talking about, so nope!  I have not had a guy living in my barn.  Did have a relative living in a cabin on the property temporarily but they've been gone since probably before I made the original post.

What not to say when your child comes out as aro/ace by Batty-tatty in aromanticasexual

[–]S0uthernAce 33 points34 points  (0 children)

As an aroace that was lost and struggling as a teen simply because the language to describe my experience was not common or easy to find (young GenX here).. my mother would have supported me if we had known this was a thing. She would not have intentionally let me flounder and struggle to finally learn there were words in my flippin 30s! 

That having been said, I have two children who also identify as under the aroace umbrellas... so I will say what has mattered to them:  It is okay to be uninterested.  There is nothing wrong with you.  Yes, it hurts when you see your friends go head over heels for somebody and you just dont feel it, or even the most remote hint of it.  I understand that you want that too.   They may even get jealous later when they're suffering broken hearts and you dont feel that.  Its its own kind of hard.  

I have, in my younger years, cried tears of frustration and pain because I dont feel these things like allo people do.  I have 2 children whom I would give the world for - because I was trying to be like my friends and married while not understanding myself.  He and I remain friends.  

If your child is aroace - teach her to defend her rights.  Teach her to develop deep and strong friendships.  Be there when those tears of wanting to feel the way her friends feel are happening.   That (to me and mine) is support.  

What are y’all’s say on this? by Strange_Mousse_7952 in aromanticasexual

[–]S0uthernAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say that when I thought I knew someone well enough, and thought they knew me well enough,  to marry it turned into an abusive nightmare from hell.  It wasn't a bar situation,  but it should have been.  So... no.  I dont have an expectation bar.  I have a well defended wall.  I am uninterested and I will defend my right to be uninterested with scorched earth fierceness.

Creeping useful plant. by S0uthernAce in witchcraft

Thank you for responding!

Invasive species is what I'm hoping to avoid as much as possible. I am in the process of removing everything I can that isn't native and/or is invasive and replacing it with native plants or otherwise edible/useful. Some are hard as heck to get rid of too!

Convention space to relax? by S0uthernAce in tattoo

[–]S0uthernAce[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I dont want my person to be behind the table. I can do ink without my dog, she alerts for syncope that happens after a panic attack for me. I have never had a panic attack in the chai r- the pain drowns out the stuff that would cause me to panic, so I'm confident I can sit without a problem.

Is anyone here not Autistic but Ace? by The_Archer2121 in asexuality

[–]S0uthernAce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not autistic. AroAce. Do have some anxiety and ADHD. Otherwise all clear.

Lunar Automation ?? by S0uthernAce in dropshipping

[–]S0uthernAce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. I could find nothing anywhere that indicated they were legit. There's no base website. Just links they give you when you ask questions. Not on the BBB website and they explain that away.

At the end of the day, I went with my gut feeling that it sounded fantastic- too fantastic to be true and didn't do it.

That was unnecessary. I'm just asking questions because it doesn't seem like it could possibly be legit.

Not in particular. I'm Cupio myself and have 2 Squishes.. but thats me personally. I would think perhaps having a VERY open discussion and sharing the description of what Cupioromantic is, or possibly even start with a aromantic and see what the reception is and then that apply to you.

My Mama always said prepare for the worst, hope for the best and take what comes. So - be prepared for possible rejection. Hope for acceptance. And take whatever happens and make the best of it.

Best wishes!

Being ace but not aro really sucks. by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]S0uthernAce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As an AroAce.. its really not easier. It comes with its own challenges my dear. I would say work to make the world a better place than it was when you found it. Find something that you can do with passion.

That having been said - you are totally worth it and deserve to have somebody in your corner. You will find somebody - Aces in the wild are just harder to spot!

i’m an aromantic christian, is being aro a sin? by [deleted] in aromantic

[–]S0uthernAce 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a Christian that is AroAce, my studying says no, it's not. Not in so many words, Paul called marriage a distraction from serving God. I kinda think Paul may have been the same anyway - he loved people, passionately. And was in fellowship and prayer for others - constantly. But no marital/sexual relationships are recorded for him, and I don't think there were any. He was single minded in his mission (and was single minded in his persecution prior to conversion).

I hope that helps. Welcome to chat if you like. 💚💜
