op is so right. saying that your romantic partner is your best friend is about saying ones romantic partner is all they need. and that’s weird! i get why op said “it seems nitpicking” but im here to affirm anyone pointing out amatanormativity! it is in everyone’s best interest to do so! xoxo

Why do romantic couples have to be all like "I married ✨💕my best friend💕✨"?

Like, I get the idea (sort of), but I really kinda hate it.

It might make things awkward for best friends, cause now there's an expectation they might develop romantic feelings to each other (especially male & female friendships)

But mostly it's just kinda saying that your romantic partner is all you need or care about. It's just a reminder that you'll always be just a friend to them, you can't even be their best friend.

I know this is just a petty nitpick, and it's probably not that deep, but you can call your romantic partner so many other things, spouse, lover, partner, etc. why do you need to take this from platonic relationships?

Imagine you're someone's best friend and when they get married they're all like "yeah, my partner's great, they're my best friend!" and you just know if you were to be like "I thought I was your best friend" they'd be like "Well yeah, but like you're just my friend, not like a partner or something."

And you can't even complain about it, because if you were to say it to anyone they'd just be like "I mean yeah, that's their partner, of course they care about them more than you, stop being so sensitive about it."

Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

tragic life of an aro with romance obsessed friends

[iamaugustyouaremyjune]

I went to someone's wedding yesterday who is very important to me. Her vows included things like, "I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else but you," and "you're my favorite person," and "I feel like we share a brain." I think these things were there almost exclusively because she googled how to write vows, but honestly, I found it pretty hurtful.

Like, the way spending your life with someone only counts if it's in a romantic relationship. The way it's not just okay, but expected for you to single someone out in front of all of your friends and family as your favorite of the bunch. In any other situation, that would be considered rude (high-school mean girl behavior).

The reality of the way we view romantic relationships as so much more than platonic relationships is just....inescapable at weddings.

here is the original comic i'm talking about

here is some stuff on relationship anarchy

here is a blog post that helped me (it's about sexual attraction but it resonated with me about romantic attraction too)

I get this isn't a very satisfying conclusion, but hopefully this helps someone😅also to add on, it's totally ok not to have a label or change as you figure out more about yourself! I think realizing I could be comfortable and happy being aro/ace really helped me decide
