How long did his marriage last? Have you tried to initiate intimacy, or he just shove you off?
Something is definitely amiss if he has no desire or even affectionate touch. I'm leaning more towards his sexual preference, but that's just me.
You can make private time by suggesting a trip together, it'll be good to know what he says.
Life is way too short to waste it on someone (in a romantic relationship at least) who does not reciprocate the same level of intimacy/physical affection as you would desire in a partner. Obviously there are going to be ups and downs, illnesses, injuries, etc. that may offset the balance in the relationship, but what you're describing sounds like torture to me.
My advice would be to remain friends (if he's okay with that) and move on to find a more compatible partner. Physical intimacy cannot be overlooked in a relationship. At age 38, I highly doubt the guy will suddenly change his ways in this regard.
No place to go?? When I still lived with my parents, my bf and I boned in the car, in the bushes, on the car hood, in the woods, in half torn houses, in locker rooms. Where there is desire, there is a bush to hide behind.
LOL. Wow. OP you can't change the guy. I agree with you that you and his ex are in the same boat. His ex left him for the same reason you are whining about here. He will never be passionate. Either you deal with it or you don't.
Even if he were it wouldn't make sense that he wouldn't even be willing to put his arm around the OP. Unless you mean he was trying to be loyal to the other woman, but in that case he wouldn't be dating the OP.

I'm guessing he is loyal to the sidechick. She's backup if the sidechick doesn't work out.
Maybe he has Asperger's. They often are unromantic and have low sex drives.
My oldest has Asperger’s and while he certainly isn’t one for affection and cuddling, he does have a normal sex drive. He has had two long term girlfriends and in both cases, a stranger would easily identify them as lovers.
Thank u all that commented. Do u think he has a problem in the bedroom and keeos puttin it off afraid ill leave like his exwife did?
