We find relationship without sexual intimacy can be compatible as well as satisfying, especially when two individuals are not particularly interesting in sex.
Asexuals exist and their asexuality is not a defect or anomaly. What makes them asexual, is their lack of sexual attraction -not a complete lack of interest in sex. Few asexuals are sex-averse (sexual intimacy does not appeal to them.
In an independent relationship, you are on your own, you might do very little as a couple. You might live together (or not) and you would probably do spend some time together.
But neither of you might depend on the other for financial or personal support. You are technically a couple, but there is no real interdependence there. If you have both been codependent relationships, it might feel like exactly what you need right now
In an codependent relationship, you both depend on each other to function, hence separation would definitely cause distress or intense anxiety. You may feel incomplete without them and vice-versa.
In this relationship, one of both of you might change yourselves to appeal the other person. It is one person who changes themselves, so that they can please the one they wish to be with in many cases.
If you are the Chameleon, you would probably sacrifice few interests and possibly even a relationship or two to make yourself more pleasing or attractive to your partner.
If one is proud to be identified as the "the one who wears the pants" there is a problem. Neither person in a loving relationship must aspire to be the one who dominates their partner or who has a position of authority over them.
That is not love, it is dominion. And you would exercise that over someone, whom you do not see them as your equal. If someone expects unconditional obedience ( or any other kind) from you, you do not have relationship between two equal partners.
Here, another situation where you would stay together for a practical reason or because one of you is in a dominant role and maintain control over the other. There might be a strong attraction between you, but the love is either one-sided or nonexistent.
In this relationship, one of you might get in this relationship right after breaking up with someone else or being dumped. And we get it. Why should you waste time grieving someone you cannot be with when you can get back out there?
It is essential though, both of you must know and are okay with a relationship that is not everything you wish it to be. At some point, that would come up. And another break-up would likely be the result.
Think of movies based on an agreement between two best friends, if we do not find someone before the age of 30, we would marry each other. Except in the movies, they usually end up falling for each other.
In these types of relationships, one would typically get along great as long as neither one tend to complicate things by wishing intimacy more than the other one or falling in love with someone else.
No one must be your last resort neither you must be anyone's either.
That said, there is nothing wrong having a truly compatible romantic couple enjoying a physical intimacy. When it is part of a healthy romantic relationship, should not be used as a weapon or should be used as a duty-it can draw you both closer.
When the love is real and the attraction (not just mere physical but soul-deep) is strong, you can have compatible relationship.
In an open relationship allow the both the partners to date (and to be intimate with) other people. It similar to the one having no-strings relationship/arrangement, but it might have the outward appearance of exclusivity. Or there might simply be more of commitment to stay together as a couple.
The success of these relationship does depend primarily as to whether both parties are equally happy having the arrangement.
