Is there a label for this?

I think I've always been on the aromantic spectrum, but might have been able to feel at least some romantic attraction in the past, though I'm not entirely sure about that either. Anyway, if what I felt has been romantic attraction then the last time I've experienced it was almost three years ago. Around that time I got out of a toxic/emotionally abusive relationship and not much later someone tried pressuring me into a romantic relationship with them, reacting with abuse when I rejected them. That had happened to me before even before my relationship, but as it had now happened three times that people who have been romantically attracted to me have manipulated and abused me I've developed a strong aversion to romance and think it might have taken a way the little bit of romantic attraction I had left in me.

The closest label I've found is caedoromantic, but that one is defined as having been alloromantic in the past and becoming aromantic due to trauma, but I don't think I've ever been alloro since even before all that happened to me I'd only occasionally develop small crushes on people I was either already friends with or were unavailable (so I might have been a mix of demi- and lithoromantic in the past).

Are You Aro (Advice)?

**Hi everyone!**



Welcome to our weekly Advice post about Aromanticism! Aromantic people experience little to no romantic attraction.



**Do any of these resonate with you?**

\* You rarely (if ever) experience crushes on others.

\* You find the idea of a romantic relationship unappealing, and prefer strong platonic bonds.

\* You've been in romantic relationships but felt like you were going through the motions.

\* You've researched what crushes are "supposed" to feel like, but can't relate.



These are just a few signs you might be Aromantic. Aromanticism is a spectrum, and every person's experience is unique.



\*\*Have questions about aromanticism or your own identity?\*\* Ask away in the comments below, and we'll and your fellow Aro’s will do the best to help!

A while ago, I asked men on reddit how much sex matters in a relationship and said I was an asexual, and they all told me I would get left or cheated on.

It was so bad I had to delete my old account. I'm (19F) not exactly a sex favorable person (never had sex for this reason, I don't get it) and I asked on the dating subreddit how important sex is to a relationship in men, saying I'm ace but I think I could do it once a week or so.

The responses were awful. Telling me I'm starving my future partner, I'd never find anyone, I need therapy, etc. It freaked me out. Like is this my future? Is this what I have to look forward to? Might as well not even try to date.
