Sometimes I feel weird identifying as aromantic AND polyamorous, because people act like it's somehow impossible, but, like...I really love the label aromantic, because I don't feel like I experience romantic attraction the same way as allos.
I don't consider romantic attraction important in a relationship at all, because I just don't really seem to feel it very strongly? Like, for me, an intimate partnership is grounded in being extremely good friends, being willing to care for each other emotionally, and building a life together. Romance doesn't have to be a part of it at all, but I'm not, like, repulsed by romance most of the time, so sometimes I'm cool with romancey-type stuff.
But, like, it's just not vital to me. But I like having multiple intimate partnerships because it feels comforting and stable not to rely solely on one partner for everything, y'know?
So anyway, shout-out to all the other aromantic polyamorous people!!! We exist, damn it!!!
