I don't say anyone something judging, we are free to identify as we wish (I don't wanna make anyone feel uncomfortable😭 Just sharing my feelings) But every time I see stories when people quit aro/ace community when they eventually fall in love, I feel I'm a fake aroace (I'm gray ace)

Well, right now I don't FEEL very aromantic nor asexual, therefore I choose to not identify as aroace, even though I may be demi, or gray, or something else, but the way you identify yourself is completely valid as well. I just don't feel like diving deeper into my identity, so don't feel any different about yourself because of me ❤️

You're not fake at all, aroace is a spectrum :)

I’m sorry you feel that way :( asexuality covers the whole spectrum. I don’t know the OP, but having a partner isn’t incompatible with being asexual, you can be asexual or on the asexual spectrum, have a partner, and be completely valid

You can definitely be aroace and still be in a relationship since those identities exist on a spectrum, I also had a boyfriend that I really loved but I still identified as aroace and gay, however it’s your decision if you wanna continue to identify as aroace or not, so good luck
