Not a "culture is" submission but I have a question if that's okay.
I recently stumbled upon the terms "nonamorous" and "nonpartnering". Pretty much everywhere I've seen them, they are used synonymously. So I was wondering, is there a difference? Searching tumblr and LGBTQIA+ wikis didn't get me any answers.
There is a difference in the sense that someone can be nonamorous and not nonpartnering or vice versa.
Nonamorous tends to describe one's inclination towards relationships. A nonamorous individual may not feel a pull to enter relationships at all.
Nonpartnering more has to do with one's actions. A nonpartnering individual will likely not enter relationships.
So someone could be nonamorous where they don't tend to enter relationships or have a natural inclination to enter relationships, but not nonpartnering as they enter relationships.
This isn't everything, there are more nuances, but this is the simplest entry to understanding the differences.

Nonpartnering culture is telling your therapist that you don't want a partner, and them thinking you might just be to scared to get close to someone.
(that might be true, but doesn't mean I don't stand by it)
