Would you stay with a guy if he doesn’t show affection or want you sexually ?

Hi , thank for reading .
im in bit of a mess at the moment . We are both in early 30’s , together for 7 years . Relationship is great apart from bedroom issues . At the beginning it was great but few years later his desire for me is gone in him . He doesn’t initate , ever . For couple of years now , it’s always me who initates sex or anything romantic . He’s a selfish lover who just wants the act to be over and done with without pleasing me too . He says it’s work stress , tiredness etc .
living together and no kids . Not married .
im so stupid , I think he tricked me from the begging pretending to be someone who he isn’t and I’m even more stupid for staying so long in unhappy sex life . I guess I just got used to rejection from him and no affection . But something clicked in my head few weeks ago thinking this is not right , he’s been to doctors and all hormones are fine so what is it ? :( he doesn’t use porn . I have high sex drive and have been putting up with duty sex twice a month . I can imagine If I told him no sex ever again , he would probably be delighted . I just feel so lonely inside and unwanted . I feel like we are just friends now living together . I asked him why he never initiates sex , he said oh it’s because normally you do it so I don’t have to .!

It’s not nice to just leave without explanation is it ? When you been with someone for so long they deserve an explainantion ..

"I'm sorry, but this doesn't feel like how it used to anymore. Our relationship seems more like we're just friends now. Yes, we occasionally cuddle and you will hold my hands, but you're absent during sex and never initiate. These things are of great importance to me, and I require them in my life. As a result, I feel our relationship has suffered greatly, and that our time together may be coming to an end if these things don't change." That's when you give him examples of things you're unhappy with. Tell him directly. Don't sugar coat it or make it twee.

Straight answer to your question - NO!!
But as I keep saying on here I'm 20 and in a wherever/whenever sexual stage of my life, and it isn't for everyone.
But any man who made me wait for sex would be out on the pavement. Actually I just can't imagine a man NOT wanting sex. Sorry but I can't.

(Sorry again I realise my last comment is no help. But true.)
