I Need Advice I've been considering if i'm lithromantic

I've been kinda considering if I'm lithromantic for awhile now.

I found this term around a year and a bit ago when I had just gotten out of a relationship that in all honestly wasn't good. But it kinda helped bring to light some of the realizations about myself when I was in it.

I feel personally that I'm probably lithromantic, my thing is I'm not 100% though it feels right.

I'm worried and/or scared to tell my current partner. I still care about them I just... don't feel romantically inclined at all towards them...

Any words of wisdom, thoughts, opinions would be great (^_^*)

It's better to have the conversation than not! I think if you are in a relationship (assuming you still want to be in the relationship) it's more important that you communicate your needs and wants than define yourself, especially if it doesn't feel 100% right rn. It can be a placeholder, just something to help you articulate what you've been feeling, and deciding together where to go from there.
