sorry for spamming your inbox, this is the last one for now i promise. responding to this anon's ask!! https://www.tumblr.com/aromanticofficial/807908358195757056/i-dont-know-where-else-to-ask-for-advice-but
i actually cut off my qpr for much the same reason. there were a bunch of other factors, but one of them was that we strayed too close to a defined label. being in a relationship or specifying my attraction to someone just feels so... suffocating? saying i'm dating someone makes me so uncomfortable
what i'm trying to say without oversharing too much is that you've got this. you should put yourself first and not lie to your partner just to make them feel better. you have to trust that they'll understand (if you explain), even if it upsets them. and if they don't, then that's a huge red flag and a sign that maybe you shouldn't stick around them.
sorry for the yap. here's a cat pic as an apology 🤲
here is the post in question for anyone who can't copy the url
yeah i can't relate personally but i agree that if your relationship has become uncomfortable then you should talk honestly with your partner(s). if you can't reach an understanding, then it's better for the relationship to end
also what's the little guy's name?
