Is it normal to want a life without romance?
Is it normal to want a life without romance? - TODAY: Relationships - MSNBC.com
what if it was you? Would you think it is normal to want a life without romance? Or must you have some romance in your life? I found this and thought huh? this is very interesting... so wondering if there is someone out there that is like that? 1 that doesnt want romance but have a marriage with someone. Share!

It could be normal. Some women may be suited for that. I might be one of them. I'd like companionship, but I don't want a physical relationship with anyone. Not sure if this is what you meant, though, Freaky Cat.
To answer the question in it's entirity, I can see myself living without it and being OK with that, but not sure that I'd want to. To me, sex and romance are two different things. Sex is apart of romance, but romance isn't defined by sex alone.

I cant imagine life without romance nor without sex. I guess it depends on each individual. Everyone is different.

There's a religious group called the Shakers in America who subscribes to a life of no romance and they remain celibate to the day they died. Some unusual ideas and practices they have.
They're famed for making Shakers furniture. As for me, I'd want some romance, yes. I think everyone needs that.

 The only way they get new members is to convert others. No kids, no growth of members. Guess they didn't figure that little complication in there when they were writing doctrine!But to answer the OP, asexuality is not as rare as one might think. Its not for me, but there are many people who don't feel the need or the desire for physical intimacy. |

To be honest with you, I don't think I'll ever get close to another person again. I was married 5 yrs and it suxed. I am happy alone with my kids. This may sound geeky, but I want God to play a part in the next person I hook up w/.

I am gonna have to agree with Oceanbreeze on that, because I think it's normal for some people to have life without romance if they perfer to be alone or a hermit type. I don't think is such a bad thing. :-)

Romance always is a big part of our lives but as we get older, things becomes mellow. Romance doesn't require to have sex involved. It can be for anything that comes along for the ride. You know, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be alone but it is always nice to grow old with someone that is meaningful to you.
As for romance being non-existent, I'd think it would throw the nature out of loop because we all are into it one way or other. So, for me, romance is something we all thrive on. |

I am romanceless at the moment it doesn't mean it has to stay this way. I would like to meet a nice gentleman to fall in love with and bring the romance in our marriage. That's what I can't wait for

Then there is the type of love that couples enter into when they are working together to build a home, raise children, etc. At this time, they move out of the first type of love I mentioned, and into a more secure and sharing type of love relationship. This is known as committed love. When a relationship has endured for a long time, the couple drifts into the companionship form of love, where they enjoy being in other's company, but it is more comfortable and relaxed and accepting. The couple recognizes the faults and sortcomings of the other (unlike infatuation where we are convinced that the person we love is perfect.) They can even admit to not liking each other at times, but are committed to the relationship and feel that they would rather share companionship with this partner than any other, even if it isn't perfect. The problem arises when we believe that we are always supposed to have head over heels, can't think of anything else, delusions of perfection type of infatuation. This is not the stuff of lasting relationships. |
