Just a thought, but I think that something that often gets overlooked in the romance vs friendship/QPR debate is how those things are just as socially constructed as gender, and do not, in fact, fall into a strict binary, or even trinary system. Relationships between people are fluid, negotiated things, and terms like partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, friend, etc, mean different things to different people, cultures and eras.
Whether two or more people decide to make their specific type of relationship exclusive, or committed or intimate; whether they’re attracted to each other, or decide to have sex, or live together, or cuddle; whether they do all, or none, or some of those things, they should be allowed to label it how they please. QPR, bromance, FWB, open relationship, polycule, etc. Sure, those terms carry connotations and assumptions, but hailing them as absolutes without any gray areas shows a lack of understanding for human behaviour, and creates unnecessary stigma and difficulties for people who are poly, ace, or aro, as well as anyone whose hierarchy of relationships is just different from the expected norm.
#i think about telling kat the nouns don’t matter nearly as much as knowing what we have is what we have to me so often#<3

oh my love, don’t you know it would never happen like that? your reaction to my comment at the end made me feel so many ways, but i don’t know how to explain that what you said you’d hate to do is what we already are, in my mind. i’ll never have that specific dynamic with them but in every way that matters you do already share me. i know you probably meant in the way we’ve talked about before, because you know where i stand with how i feel about them. how i feel about all of you. i promise you, it will never happen, not with any of them. and i promise you, it will never happen at all without your consent and your blessing. i may be my own person and it may be my decision but i love you so much and the last thing i want to do is hurt you. but regardless of that not happening, you do already share me in every way that matters. with all three of them. and i know you know that. but your phrasing makes me worry that you don’t.
