          “Relationships fo also come wothout sexual obligations by the way, you’re not required to have sex with your partner.”

          That I never got. Isn’t a relationship without any sexual activity just a friendship? Love can’t be the deciding factor, as plenty of people love their friends. There are different kinds of love, but the kinds that distinguish relationships from friendships are sexual in nature.

          In my mind, a relationship without a sexual component is just a roommate or very close friend. What exactly is the difference between a close best friend and a relationship with no sexual component? To me those seem to have the exact same definition.

          But, as far as I know, it’s still the assumed default nature with intimate relationships. Do we want to change that?
