This is a declaration of love.

And in a very real way, what has been at stake in so many debates about marriage, love, and legal and formal recognition of partnerships is not weddings, but the chance to chose who can legally be with you at the worst times in your life. And Scully CHOOSES Mulder EVERY TIME.

(General mutualistic attraction flags)

Mutualistic attraction is a type of attraction that is only felt under the circumstance that it will benefit two (or more) parties.

For example; Only getting a crush, or feeling romantic attraction, if it would benefit all parties involved. In this example, the mutualistic attraction felt would be romantic or RMA (Romantic mutualistic attraction).

(General mutualistic relationship flag)

A mutualistic relationship could happen for multiple reasons for example;

* An exclusively WLW person could get into a RMR (Romantic mutualistic relationship) with an exclusively MLM person due to having an extremely homophobic environment to appear ‘straight’ or to be close enough to help each other out.

* Two aplatonic people may be in a PMR (Platonic mutualistic relationship) only when they feel they need to fill their social need or want to share information with someone.

Though this is technically more of a describer for already established attraction and relationship types; it may be used as its own. Really, it can be its own undefinable thing as long as it’s in the context of all parties involved benefiting.

These types of relationships may be long term or extremely short term.

And this type of attraction may be affected by being waveric
