...See more Ok, so this is a lot to explain. I started a romantic relationship with my close friend Abby a little over a year ago. Things were going well for a while, but over time I started to realize I just don't have feelings as strongly as they do. I loved them, but I was never really romantic. They would constantly tell me how much I mean to them, that they love me more than anything, etc. And it was really sweet, but I just felt pressured by it. I forced myself to say the same sort of things back, but it didn't feel right. I thought I just needed to get used to it, and I was just feeling that way because I hadn't been in a relationship before. Needless to say, I didn't get used to it, and the love I used to feel for them turned into discomfort and insecurity. I broke up with them last month, and said I just wanted to take a break from the relationship because of my mental health issues, and that I needed to take more time to focus on myself. That was part of the reason, but not entirely. I wanted to take a step back and ask myself if this was right, and if this is what I want, and I've decided that it's not. I know that I'm asexual, I told them that while we were still together and they were unhappy about it. But now I feel like I'm aromantic too because being romantic just isn't super appealing to me. Abby is still in love with me and waiting for this "break" to be over. I don't think they'll be happy with me and I won't be happy with them, but I don't know how to tell them.
