AIO for breaking up w my asexual GF that didn't want to compromise??
Me (22M) and my asexual gf (25F) had been dating for 2 years before the breakup, from the start I was aware that she was asexual, she was aware I wasn't, but I was willing to try and make it work anyway
For a bit more than a year I didn't mind not having sex, and she didn't mind me jerking it by myself whenever I got pent up, but after a while I was really craving any sort of sexual intimacy, so I brought the topic up with her
I suggested we use incenses or perfumes if the smell was the problem, that we do it clothed if she doesn't like the skin contact, that we just dryhump if she doesn't like the penetration, or that she just uses her hands or a fleshlight to jerk me, that at the very least she just whispered and massaged me while I jerked myself, that we do any of it only twice a month, or once a month.
She didn't like any of that, and was upset that I even brought it up. She's never had any traumatic experiences with sex or anything, she did it once and just wasn't into it was what she told me.
I always tried being understanding of her sexuality, and I didn't think it'd be that big a deal since I really liked her, but Idk she made feel a little gross about myself after that, not wanting as much physical contact like cuddling or hugging as often, and looking kind of uncomfortable whenever I had an erection, I wasn't feeling too comfortable in the relationship anymore so I decided it'd be best to end it there.
I've only been in one relationship before that, and my family members are a bit more conservative and according to them they wouldn't even try date an asexual in the first place, so Idk am I overreacting?? Should I've just stuck to it and hope Id grew out of it? I don't think I should've insisted on it at least idk
