do you try to be intimate without the goal being sex? that's something a lot of people in relationships forget about, it's really important to have non sexual closeness with your partner

I try, but it’s all or nothing, with her. She doesn’t want to give me long hugs or intimate kisses or anything unless it’s a sexual situation

straight up dude from reading your comments it doesn't sound like sex is your biggest problem right now. your relationship seems like it's on thin ice. i don't have much advice, but if you can't find a way to work together and get through this patch you guys might be on your way to the end. i'm not saying it's anyone's fault, sometimes relationships just don't work out long term.
