happily taken by my soulmate 🥰 we've been together for two and a half years now. it's long distance, and sometimes it's difficult, especially because we're both busy people and it's hard to plan trips. but I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else 💓🐇

also probably worth mentioning that I'm demi-aroace, so I'm in that funny spot between "I don't care about relationships" and "my partner is the love of my life" hehehehe
 
Been with my partner for [an amount of time greater than 5 years and less than 10 years, you can't trick me into giving away personal info online!]

I refer to him as my partner because we aren't married and don't plan to be--I'm female, he's Filipino, and we both have personal/cultural/social reasons for being uncomfortable with the historical institution of marriage. However, we live together and share all our expenses and responsibilities, travel together, have life insurance with the other person as beneficiary, make big decisions jointly, spend holidays with each other's families, etc. So calling him my boyfriend feels a little weird as it doesn't really convey that level of emotional and logistical interconnection.

I don't have any intention of ending the relationship, but if it did end for whatever reason, I don't imagine I'd be in a hurry to be in a relationship again. I would never describe myself as ace or aro because that would be untrue, as I absolutely do experience romantic and sexual attraction, but the percentage of people that I experience that attraction to in the first place is pretty low. I'm also a bit of a cynic about romance and staunchly feminist, so the pool of possible partners is not exactly enormous. I feel extremely fortunate to have connected with someone with whom I can have mutual respect, attraction, interest, affection, and shared values.
