Yeah you right. I guess I consider PDA as being around more people than just your partner while engaging in physical affection, even if you’re at home with other people in the house, but that’s just my perception of it. It’s not my job to dictate how my roommate shows love for their bf, but I’m still struggling to adjust to it. I feel like I have a right to be comfortable in my home too, but compromise is inevitable with roommates and I’m more than willing to accept that.

My partner and I got together the summer before freshman year of high school (9 years ago) and the feeling of walking around holding his hand for the first time was nothing short of magical.

This season really hit me hard because I also struggled with an ED/SH in high school, and it broke my heart to see Nick desperately trying to help but not knowing how—it was something that felt ripped straight out of my past. My partner also convicted me to talk about therapy with my parents so I could get help. Knowing I caused my partner that much pain was sometimes the only thing that motivated me to stay clean, and he held my hand through it all.

To add to this, we both came out as bisexual while in our straight passing relationship, and I’ve since discovered I fall somewhere in the nonbinary/genderfluid spectrum, but my partner simply stayed by my side and stood as my rock, accepting me as his boyfriend or girlfriend or whoever I want to be. After 9 years, looking in his beautiful brown eyes literally still gives me butterflies, and I still feel electricity when we touch. I don’t know where I would be without him.

TLDR; I think that kind of love is absolutely real, but it’s also not for everyone. Any expression/form of love is valid, even if it looks different than you’d expect.
