Re: What counts as a 'real' relationship?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-22 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
You know what I think a "real" relationship is? It's caring deeply about somebody, wanting to spend time with them, and being able to rely on them. It's laughing together, crying together, and sometimes arguing with each other. It's being able to talk to them about anything, and sit comfortably in amicable silence.
Personally? It's being able to steal his food because I already know he doesn't like it. It's asking for "no onions" in my food because I want him to be able to try it (and I don't want to smell like onions). It's watching that silly show he likes with him, and him letting me snark at it because he thinks it's funny. It's being able to flail and make distressed noises and have him know that I need a tissue. It's him knowing the difference between my "I spilled something" distressed noise and my "I saw a bug" distressed noise. It's knowing that sometimes he just needs a good hug when he's anxious.

There is a lot that goes into making a relationship "real" - sex is a very small part. For a lot of people, it's a very important part, yes, but an asexual relationship is no less valid than a sexual one. You can be emotionally intimate with somebody without being physically intimate. So it boils down to: if it feels real, it is real. Don't let anybody make you believe otherwise.
