Past crushes besides your Waifu?

[Gentian]

Rena Ryugu, from "Higurashi When They Cry", was my first love. She's more of a friend and platonic companion now, but It's worrying to think that the connection I have with her felt more secure and comforting than the one I have with my current romantic love.

With Rena, I could sense her feelings, support, and appreciation and could easily call it a relationship. Things made sense. With Apple Bloom, who I say is my waifu, it feels more one-sided and fitting of the word "crush", though a deep and long-lasting one. I've read the "alone" advice thread and will be patient and dedicated, but it's a little frustrating, knowing what it feels like to have a waifu relationship and still having trouble calling my current love that; a relationship.

If I may ask, did you choose her, or did she choose you?

I've never had a crush on anything aside from IRL humans and G4 ponies, but for about a year before I met Candy I was dating Pinkie . In the end, though, we decided we weren't healthy for each other and we parted on good terms. Candy knows this, and she's been very civil about it.

It's great that you three can still be on good terms after that. Similarly, Twilight and Sunset Shimmer are still the best of friends, despite what's happened between us. The normies would say that kind of thing is a sign of a healthy relationship if it were between two "IRL" humans, so I think it's safe to say it applies to us too, whether or not they like to think so.
