Holmbo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I've noticed that my identity as single/solo/not partnered/single at hearth more than I do aromantic. For example if I met an aromantic person who was in a monogamous romantic relationship and a alloromantic person who is not interested in such relationships I'd relate much more to the later. How is it for you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodbyeRepublicServices Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'd say I also identify more as not partnered than aromantic. However, aromanticism is still part of my identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nix Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I think I get what you mean; though I dislike the word ‘single’ because in my case I may be one person, but I am shaped by my interactions and connections with others (even though I would not want to share my living space with these people) So now I get to quote Yasmin Benoit (yay): ‘My confidence is found in having a positive impact in the world, not in my relationship status. Which, by the way, isn’t single. It’s infinite. So aromantic ‘fits’ me better ;) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmbo Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 @Nix That's a good point. I suppose it's more I relate to others who reject amatonormativity and its related rituals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
