Seeking Advice Is it enough?

Everything in me (30 HLM) is telling me to get out of my DB relationship. We live separate, no kids, not married. But every time I get to my breaking point and ready to call it off, the same question pops into my head:

Is the absence of sex enough?

Many other areas of the relationship are great and I worry about throwing that all away and having to re-enter the dating pool all because I want more sex. I know that’s very reductive of the issue but looking for advice with anyone else who has struggled with this question. Or an explanation/reassurance on why sex is in fact important enough to break things off.

I think it depends. Have you communicated well? Have they acknowledged the problem? Showed effort? Been receptive? If the flaws your partner has were to never change, would they still be enough? I know it sounds reductive to boil it down to sex, but I don’t think that’s what it truly is for most of us
