I am starting to not believe in romantic relationships. And I have a lovely nesting partner whom I care for very dearly. We settled on “queer platonic friendship” a while ago but we do things that could be considered “romantic” but I don’t know if that justifies the label. Not because I don’t hold them in very high regard, but because western romantic relationships carry a certain possessive root that I find to be antithetical to my beliefs.
