Interesting. Feliz Cumpleaños!

I'm 41 today and my midlife crisis continues with my seventh tattoo in the past year, plus buying rolls of film and batteries for my old film cameras, to get nostalgic about the time I worked in a photography store when film was still the main type of camera.

Nothing quite like someone finding an actual floppy disk and saying it's cool that someone 3D-printed the 'save' icon. AHHHH! (I enter the realm of the 40s next year)

Your partner may be equating libido to wanting to have sex with another person. Asexuals may have or not have libido, but they don't want to use their libido to have partnered sex. You could explain the difference to them so they wouldn't be expecting things to change.

Meritocracy.

How to be a Normal Person by TJ Klune is good, it has ace rep (not aro though) and it's by the same author as the house on the cerulean sea if you've read that. (No aspec rep there but still a very good and original book)
