I think romance is overrated... (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I mean I just saw someone on lemmy talking about their love life and I'm thinking: "So what". I never really had any desire to get in a romantic/sexual relationship. I personally think having a close friend you can trust is more important than having someone you can have sex with. Am I asexual/aromantic? Does anyone else feel this way?

Everyone has their own definition of love. For me it's about what you say: A close friend that you trust. And that's exactly who my boyfriend is. He's my best friend, I help him out, he helps me out and we both trust each other. Occasionally we have sex, but that's not a huge fixture of our relationship, it's fun for 15 minutes every week, but that's around 0.5% of our total time together. Hanging out and playing games and doing chores is the other 99.5% of our lives together.
