When sexual identity exploration affects both partners in a relationship

My partner told me they're questioning whether they're asexual and I want to be supportive but I also don't know what this means for us and I'm scared to ask questions that might sound like I'm trying to talk them out of it.

What we've seen

One person's journey of sexual self-discovery creates uncertainty for both partners about their shared future, while the fear of saying the wrong thing prevents honest conversation about very real concerns.
