im aroace.. so im incredibly biased. by "die out" i mean it should stop being shoved in our faces constantly. its always seen as the "superior" "main" or "peak" form of love. the second someone says "just a brother/sister" or "more than friends" an angel loses their wings. god forbid you dont want to have kids or get married!!! "youll know it when you feel it" what are you talking about. be so fucking for real. it just sounds so.. made up. like its a lie created to sell you the whole "your life will only be complete when you have a lover" shtick. "if only i had a bf to fix me" "ill only be happy when i get a gf" if other forms of love (familial, platonic, qpr, unlabeled) arent enough for you, what makes you think romantic love will be? tv? books? fairytales? its all bullshit,, imo. "you just havent met the right person" "youll understand when youre older" i dont want to fucking understand. it sounds miserable, it sounds like a prison. i feel like alloromantics sound brainwashed?? im sorry if im being allophobic, but im sick of it being seen as the default/norm. im sick of them telling us "its just a phase!" (np if it is a phase, its just that allos use that as an excuse to be assholes).
its everywhere like a plague

It makes sense? Romantic love often transcends boundaries set by a platonic love. There is a reason there is a consensus of it being "norm" or picturesque. It wasn't a generalized idea unanimously agreed up to push an agenda. There, in my opinion, is not better love than romantic. I've been married for a year now, and I love every second of it. Though, I do agree with your standpoint. Love will NOT fix every problem; though, romantical love is an agreement between two parties to endure troubles.
1. im glad you & your partner are in a loving relationship!! 2. look, negotiating is kinda useless from a logical standpoint, because youre allo and im aro, but sure.
there shouldnt be set boundaries inherently tied to platonic love, imo. you can be platonic & still do things seen as romantic. its all about you & the person, these kinda things shouldnt be set in stone.
& again with the "romance is superior" point. i appreciate that you said this is your opinion, because there is no form of love that is objectively superior & the problem is that its become objective, a fact that even people who havent been in relationships agree with. the entire world gets people hyped for their future lovers, to the point where friendships become boring & discarded when said lover comes around.
its a tricky subject already, but im aro & youre allo, which makes it harder to talk about
