Got broken up with and it felt like a weight off my shoulders even though they were super nice and I enjoyed the relationship. Always felt like they wanted something I couldn’t give

it was a very slow realization for me. first I knew I was asexual and then it took like three years to come to terms with the fact that I don't experience romantic love. I don't get crushes and I tried being in relationships and never felt anything beyond a strong platonic love.

I’m in the same boat honestly. Can’t tell if I’m aro or just feel romantic attraction differently. At this point I don’t even know how to define what I am cause I’m not fully sure what romantic attraction is supposed to feel like.

I just didn’t like romantically, it was strange because I was sexually attracted to her. I wanted what was best for her. It was a different kind of love. Steady but not passionate. When we broke up I was so happy not to deal with her again. It was a giant weight off my shoulders.
