Feeling pressured into marriage is a common issue for aromantics dating an alloromantic, regardless of sexuality.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How does an aromantic even get to the point of being pressured into a marriage (at least in a society without arranged marriage)? Why are they dating in the first place? Am I misunderstanding how that works?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Mainly social expectations and lack of awareness of aromanticism. I know in the US that's common in the deep south (where I'm from), but I'm sure you'll find it anywhere that's socially conservative.
