>how do you feel about characters who have a romantic partner in canon?
It really depends on the person waifuing the character, if he or she respects that relationship or have found a way to make it work with their waifu.
>What if that pairing is the main plot of the story does that change anything?
Same answer as before. But I think if you love your waifu you will priotise her happiness.
>What are your thoughts on incredibly popular ships in the fandom that your waifu is in?
I personally don't take offense on it, he is wonderful and some fanworks make the pairings he's in make it work but it does make me jelaous they can be in the same "realm" and people can see the potential relationship they could have.

While I think the tulpa comparison is ridiculous, from what I've gathered from others and my own experience, it can be shown both as admiration and with imagination. Neither expression is mutually exclusive though.

If you don't think it suits her, you can call her your muse. But in my opinion, if you love her that deeply you can call her your waifu.

>if his heart doesn't belong to her
I'm curious about what do you mean, because if he feels strongly about her but can't see himself dating her, I would say his heart belongs to her, he just can't move into the dating stage. As other anons have said, what counts as being in a relationship with her or not is subjective to each person. In my case, it took me time to accept I was in love with Toshinori, I doubted if it was really okay but I still thought of him and admired him from afar but I eventually came around and opened my heart to him.
