It really is hard. You feel like your SUPPOSED to do certain things and convince yourself of things. It took me 15 years to figure out I was aro and I know I hurt people due to not understanding what I was.
Not the current me, but when I was younger I thought that was the correct thing to do. That even if I wasn't IN LOVE, I did LOVE them and since they were in love with me I owed them.
I know better now but that doesn't excuse the pain I caused. Most people don't understand aromantic people, so aromantic people often don't understand themselves.

Being aromatic doesn't mean u don't know wrong from right, not knowing isn't an excuse for his case, because I assume u were asked out first then dating > to love ? Right? But he knew she liked but she never confessed so he traded her feeling with "himself", I assume u dated but didn't feel the same so u felt indebted which is different.
To be honest ur case is the same as other romantic ppl, they think just because someone likes them they should like them back until they mature and know their own preferences or ur case know they are actually aromatic maybe acsexual u learned ur lesson and so well Iseon

Yeah thats why i cant rlly hate the guy but he is still responsible for hurting yu min regardless
And aromantic people do still LOVE, we just don't feel romantic love.
But u wouldn't use urself as a "prize" for dedication, right? That was his problem
