Me and my partner are both asexual and probably aromantic. We just kinda donāt understand romance and are both disgusted by sex. (Mines from trauma theres is just from the ick which I understand)Ā
We kinda just said āfuck it. Romantic or not lets do thisā and weāve been happy ever since.Ā

demisexual grayromantic -- I usually bring it up really early even in friendships with people of the opposite sex just so they get more of fair warning if they decide they want to have feelings for me.
When it comes to actual partners, I find its best to be honest and concise in your boundaries and needs! Mentioning your level of interest in sex / romance and finding compromises is the only way I found it managed to work out with someone so I didn't feel pressured to perform when I wasn't into it but they knew what to expect and could decide if that was a dealbreaker or not
But as well I understand that with less chronically online people it doesn't make as much sense so typically I just refer to myself as "straight but not interested" lmao

Have you tried considering maybe you are the problem? You are in a relationship, it's obvious your partner will want all aspects of love. Otherwise they will question if they're really special for you if they get the exact same treatment as your friends. Then they will get envious of your other friends, because you're as close to them as with your partner. The bridge needs to be built from both sides, and if you cannot provide what your partner needs, this will quickly devolve into toxic relationship, according to Jacques Le Goff and Nicolas Turong from "history of body" 2006, it's not love but "Caritas", vulnerability against another person, but washed out of passion. But philosophers aside, from personal experiences I know that love requires sacrefices, and there's nothing more enjoyable than sacreficing yourself a little for happiness of another person. Your lack of passion doesn't have to mean that your loved one has to suffer. So show them your love, do something nice for them! It will make them really happy, and thus it will make you happy too :)
