My partner is going away with her new person for the first time and I can’t stop my heart from aching

she was never asexual before me. as far as i know she was the exact opposite, but used sex as a way to cope with her trauma. she tells me she didn’t feel the need to be that hyper sexual person w me because i loved her for her. which is true, but i mean i like intimacy too? after we moved in together it started to become once every few months and she would just do it to get it over with, which really hurt me sometimes. idk, after i really tired to put the work in last year and being rejected 95% of the time i had pretty much given up. we’re basically roommates again now, which is fine i guess because we still have a lot of platonic fun together, just makes me sad
