There are a few things she does that upset me, and I feel very inclined to talk them out and find a middle ground because we have plans to move in together. As things are however, we're on track to me breaking up with her.

Just as a recent and relevant example, she's become an absolute gooner. That's fine, whatever, I can't provide details for anonymity but my problem here lies in the fact that I don't even register as an option for intimacy to her anymore. Months go by before she can go for 5 minutes and no more. Sex is not the foundation of our relationship but this behaviour is affecting our relationship and my mental health; I feel inadequate, unattractive and gross because my own partner is choosing anything else over me. Luckily she isn't cheating, I'm confident in that. I tried introducing this as a discussion so we could talk it out as I'm sick of feeling so miserable with myself but once again, she side stepped it.

What can I do to keep our relationship? If she refuses to acknowledge and respond to my attempts at healthy communication, is there anything I can do to get her to hear me or is breakup the only option here?
