Husbandoist
Coming from the word "husbando" (a fictional male/male aligned character from fictional media such as anime, manga, videogames, etc.), it's a person who feels an extremely deep romantic attraction to a character as if they were in a serious relationship, similar to romantic yumeshipping but with stricter rules (though you don't have to follow all of them).
To make the rules super short: You are only allowed one husbando, having a relationship with a real life person at the same time as your F/O (fictional other) is considered cheating, headcanons of any type must be as close to or accurate as possible to canon, and you can't use husbandoism for a way to wait for a real relationship like you can with yumeshipping. Again, nobody has to strictly follow all these rules and you can be fluid with them. It's never that serious.

Person A: "Hey you really like insert character, are you one of those yumeshippers?"
Person B: "Not quite! Im a husbandoist. They're basically cousins though, so I get the confusion."
Person A: "So the answer is yes..."
Person B: "Um... No..........."
