Coming out while in a relationship
LGBTQ+ / MOGII Support / by HermioneLovegood

...See more Hi friends! I’m asexual / demisexual and I experience romantic attraction. I’m in a heterosexual relationship. I want to come out to my friends and family, but I’m scared that people will ask my boyfriend questions about my asexuality and make him feel weird about dating someone on the ace spectrum. I don’t know why, but it kind of bothers me that everyone assumes I’m straight. And I want to share my story to give some hope to other aces who may be feeling hopeless about relationships, like I did before I met my partner. I also want to come out to spread asexual awareness. I want to spread this positivity but I’m intimidated by the consequences of coming out. Does anyone have any advice for me? How could I make my coming out easier for my boyfriend?
