The relationship dynamic appears uneven, with one partner taking on a caretaker role, which may hinder intimacy and self-esteem. The partner's discomfort with physical intimacy leads to questions about mutual affection and respect. It is important to reflect on the motivations for remaining in this situation and the potential for personal fulfillment. Healthy negotiations regarding emotional needs and expressions of appreciation must occur to create a more balanced relationship. Recognizing self-worth and mutual appreciation is crucial for both partners.
You have set yourself up as his caretaker and, while that may be fulfilling for you in many ways, it is probably not erotically inspiring.
It has also made you question the unspoken contract between you which seems to be: you take care of him in every possible way but he does little to reciprocate.
Think carefully about why you have come to be in this position and whether or not it is what you truly want.
You can always negotiate for more attention, more kindness, more appreciation or anything else you feel he could give you but withholds.
