My partner and I have been dating for over a year, and rather early on it became apparent to me that the thought of anyone (myself included) pressuring her for sex at all was incredibly bothersome. It would be so horrible for that to happen to someone I care so much about. For me, this has heavily overridden whatever sexual desires I may have ever had for her, which certainly makes the decision for a permanently abstinent romance easy. Has anyone else found that to be the case?
Yes, I was the female in this case that does not want to be in a romantic situation, and it was more of a chore to keep up with my partner. They took this as rejection. I recently started talking to someone I knew a really long time, but it was becoming harder for me to explain my orientation alongside keeping up with constantly being ghosted. I have made the recent decision that I am not going to be romantically involved anymore.
