I’ve been dating my partner for a few months. They identify as nonbinary and are also a stone top (which I’m okay with). The thing is, since we started dating, I’ve noticed they don’t really flirt much with me, and they often struggle with being affectionate or sexual. We’re long distance, which I can handle, but even things like sexting are difficult for them.
When I talked to them about it, they told me that flirting or being affectionate just feels awkward for them now, even though they’ve had no issues with that in the past. That hurt to hear, but I can tell they’ve been making some effort to improve—still, it comes across as forced.
I’m honestly torn. I’ve never had this kind of issue with a partner before, and if I have to push them just to flirt or show affection, it makes me question whether it’s worth it. Sometimes I feel like maybe they don’t actually like me that way. But whenever I bring up the idea of breaking up, they insist they don’t want to lose me. What should I do

When you know who you are and you know what you like its easy to flirt and to be open and sensual and your energy with in feels it deep and you try to become one with them
But there are some people who are afraid to be open because it's hard for them to say things that another person now know what they like lol and now they are afraid they're going to be judged
I'm the complete opposite. I think i'm like you if I feel it and if I feel your energy then i'm going to word it so you feel it as if i'm right there and then it just becomes natural because you feel each other's energyand now the goal is to become one. And sometimes that's better than physical touch
It's energy that I call a spiritual energy when it touches it ten times deeper , sometimes , if you're standing right next to each other
Sounds like more of a friend than a girlfriend. Ever asked them if you could just be good friends?
I have not yet but I’m thinking I will break up with them today and and suggest that
Your first mistake was dating someone who is mentally ill.
