rpanons | Found the token ace

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

We met each other at an especially vulnerable time. Their father had just died of a prolonged illness that summer and my mother was in the process of dying of a prolonged illness (she lasted until early the next year). We kind of latched onto each other in a really unhealthy codependent way, though we were both way too young to realize it.

I thought I was in love with them and I think they thought they were in love with me. But really we just were looking for something we'd lost and found it in each other. A relationship can't survive off that alone, especially not after a few years have passed, the grief has settled and you've both impulse-moved in a place only to discover it's a whole lot harder to "love" a person when you're living with them and have an up-close view to all the ugly little things you don't have to see when you live apart.

Love's an easy word to say. We said it to each other dozens of times. But it's usually something less flattering in reality and we just call it love because love feels better and sounds better.

That's... Extremely cynical, and I legitimately feel sorry for you. I guess it's because I've been living with my current partner a few years, and despite all the little ugly things, the positives outweigh the bad. But we also got together organically through years of knowing each other, with no grief on sight.

I don't think your experience means that love doesn't exist and that it's all just lust. It's discounting all the people who are happy with each other and instead tearing it down to an ugly feeling because you had an ugly experience.
