If you still desired others it wasn’t #truelove IMHO but I understand this has become controversial in some circles.

    To be honest too, I don’t know. I just know that I love (or whichever word you assign meaning to) her a lot. I want her to be happy, but I don’t want to have sex with her, nor do I want to have a formal romantic relationship with her.

    I would like to emotionally, financially, or non-financially (like as simple as help pick up a parcel for example) contribute to her and ask for absolute no reciprocation.

    If she eventually has a relationship with some one else, my heart would hurt a lot, but I would still be happy for her.

      Thanks for explaining it. I can understand it now but it still feels very foreign to me.

      Kind of feels more parental than spousal. if i look at it like that it makes more sense. but im sure that is still not exactly how you picture it.

        Thank you for your vocabulary too.😂 “Parental” is still off but not by a lot. I am far from old enough to be her dad, but a big brother I would accept the deal. “I do”, haha.
