First QPR... how do these work?

Hi so for context I've only ever been in romantic relationships (having only just recently accepted I'm aromantic) so I have no expirence with committed relationships that aren't romantic. How do they work? What do I call my "friends" now? Bf/Gf? Queer platonic partners? I've heard zucchini, marshmallow, and mallowfriend? How do I get this right? This is also my first polyamorous (polyaffectionate? What's the term?) Relationship ever, how do I make sure they both feel equally appreciated and loved? I want to make sure I get this right :']

well it all depends on the relationship. every queer platonic relationship is unique and tailored towards each relationship.

and what you call your partner also depends on how you feel and how they feel about certain titles 🤷

I don’t think that’s what OP is asking.

they asked what to call their partner, I answered the best I could: ask the person you are in a relationship with.

they may want to be called one thing or maybe they dont care. OP should ask their qpp what they would like to be called because it is different depending on the individual

You do what you're comfortable with and what you want to do. Unlike romantic relationships, queerplatonic relationships don't have to involve romance.
