Romantic in relationship with aromantic


blok

Recommended Posts

My boyfriend of 6 years recently realized he is aro. This came as a surprise to me, but at the same time, not so much - for the past few years he's felt distant and only showed affection or interest in affection when we were being intimate. He desires attention and physical closeness (not sexual contact) with women, but does not desire that from me. The only thing he does desire from me is sexual contact.

 

Before this realization we were good partners and I felt more complete than I've ever felt in a relationship. Outside of romantic affection, he gives me what I need. I've been trying to figure out if 1: I am willing to accept these new parameters and 2: how to handle things with him.

 

Have any of you had experiences with romantics/aromantics in relationships? What helped you? Any advice you can give would be really helpful.
