Have you told him how you feel about it? NTA but communication is super important in a relationship

Yes and no. There are other ways of showing love besides sex. You said his drive is so much lower than you so I also wouldn’t want to force him to do anything that he doesn’t want to. Simply have the conversation with him about it. The more people I talk to the more I realize that how cheating happens. Better to just be up front

NTA at all it’s perfectly valid to want more intimacy just talk to him and be honest

NTA but how come the other efforts of showing love that aren't sexual aren't good enough?

Op this sounds like how my relationship was. When I first got with my girlfriend I wasn’t really ready for anything and she was. I only started being ready to do anything sexual at all after months just because of trust and anxiety and it all being very new for me (I still haven’t given her head tho because of sensory issues with taste and smell and stuff around my mouth). This works for us but if it’s not working for you then you may have to decide how much of a priority this is for you and if

You can have a relationship without it. Also it may be a good idea to have a conversation about what sex is like for him and if he feels like he’s ready and enjoying it. He might not be able to give you the sex you want, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you enough, but it’s up to you if that’s a dealbreaker or not.

thanks for this it was actually refreshing to get a guys perspective, sometimes i get in my head on yk if hes really into bc we don't do other stuff and dont have sex often but i know he does, and hes been the best partner to me so this was eye opening

If he wasn't attracted to you he wouldn't be with you. He definitely loves you, he just shows it in other ways. I know the feeling cuz I'm just like this dude lowkey
