How do you guys do it? I'm talking only to the maps/lolicons/shotacons. There's like, a bunch of you here that seem to have functional romantic relationships. How do you do it? Do you just compartmentalize, keep it private? I'm not built that way unfortunately, I tell my partner shit I probably shouldn't tell them if I want the relationship to last, if I don't want them to spread rumors about me. I trust people too much, or maybe I don't actually know how to trust at all, and I'm actually just gullible. I'm sorry I'm a turd, fedi./vent

my partners are both maps.
Both of them were teenagers when I got with them.
One I found advocating the idea that hating and attacking maps wasn't good or helpful on facebook in a communist group. I got extremely lucky because when I sent this person a random friend request they actually sent a message asking why. I told them it's because I liked what they said. They told me the next day that they're a map and I was like, yeah I figured. After about one and a half months I told them I was in love with them. Not usually a good strategy but again, lucky me, it worked out. Our relationship is kind of distant now because I'm busy with my irl partner and they're busy with college.
The irl partner in question met my parent through a facebook group about being nonbinary. I had already left facebook by this point as everyone should for their own well-being, so I connected with them on discord (which might be the next thing to leave soon tbh) they became enfatuated with me because we had a good conversation where I spoke things that they hadn't heard from others but understood themself. Since I understood them they wanted to have me. I had reservations though because I already had a partner who was a map and at that point I was no longer willing to date someone who I couldn't tell about my pedophilia so I eased in saying "I can't accept your feelings without telling you something about myself first" since they were young and desperate they said something like "even if you're a serial killer it's okay" which I honestly shouldn't have though that's a good sign but I did. So I told them. They were fine with it so we got together and about 1 year later told me that they never realized it before but they're also a map.
There's a bit more complexity and drama and arguments and breaking up and getting back together in both these stories so it's not like relationships are just easy even then, but I'm very lucky to have found two afab nonbinary maps to love. I don't think I could date a normie again now, I'd rather be alone.
