'I don't think our love and commitment together should pale in comparison to romantic love.'
"A platonic life partnership [offers] love and support, the feeling of belonging to a community or having a village that's not strictly romantic," she continued."This kind of relationship is healthy, [but] different individuals have different needs. Platonic relationships are possible just so long as both people’s intentions and understanding of the relationship are the same.
"One has to be open and honest with the person you're sharing this relationship with," Johnson added, just as you might in a romantic relationship, but without the physical intimacy. "A common con that I have come across as a therapist is the negative perspective of others," Johnson said."As society advances, we are exploring other ways to do life outside of cultural norms, [and] there's no right or wrong way. However, fairly new relationships may challenge those around you."Renee and April understand this personally, having balanced both Singapore and America's societal expectations for what a relationship"should" look like.
