Breaking up over asexuality
My partner and I broke up because they are on the asexual spectrum and I value sexual intimacy a lot in a relationship. we just don’t see a way for our relationship to progress in a way that represents what both if us want and need. I know it’s the right decision but if fucking hurts. I don’t think im idealising my ex partner, they have their flaws and our relationship had some other minor issues but they are genuinely one of the best people I have ever met and I still can’t believe my luck that I got to be in a relationship with them.
I think I got over the worst time after the breakup, even though I still miss them, I feel okish now most of the time. But given how amazing they are how well we fit together and complemented each other in every other way, I don’t know how I’ll ever fully get over them or even find someone else who I like and learn to love as much
