I have a question for those of that are the LL in your relationship.
If your partner took sex off the table. I’m talking genuinely no expectations or hope for sex. Would you be more open to other physical (non sexual) touch?
Pretty sure my partner avoids even sitting next to me on the couch so that there’s no opportunity for any kind of cuddling that might lead to the possibility of sex. I just want him to stop avoiding me. I need some type of physical connection (a cuddle, hand holding anything at all at this point). I have never pressured him, I take his rejections with all the grace I can muster, and 4 months ago I completely stopped initiating and he hasn’t so much as glanced my way. It’s been 10 maybe 11 months now? I’m not even sure. I only initiated twice during that time.
Would taking sex off the table take the pressure off and allow us to connect better? Or am I completely lost.
