Sexless relationships are so emotionally painful. I was in one in my early-20s, and it dealt an enormous blow to my self-esteem that lasted a long time. I'm happy you found the inspiration to leave and find more fulfillment, even if your road to healing was at times scary and exhausting. Very much relate also to the overarching lesson you learned: we all have the right to prioritize a healthy sex life within our intimate relationships. :)
