You and I are exactly in the same boat! I’m going through the same thing, at least your partner respects you….. mine treats me like trash 💔
Sex is absolutely important in a relationship. It's about so many things - feeling good about yourself, making your partner feel good, connecting with them on the most intimate level. Have you had a proper conversation with him and explained how you are feeling? I would not jump to leaving because of this. You've said yourself his past relationships may have impacted him and this may go deeper than you realise. Obviously that doesn't take away from how it is making you feel though. Perhaps you would benefit from both individual and couples therapy if he would be open to this? X
You need to leave him !! A man should make you feel wanted . May sound strange to you but sex is very important in a relationship, if one don’t get it they’ll find it somewhere
