This is so fricken cringey and there’s obviously reasons you two broke up so why tf are you playing games? End it and leave it ended like you wanted and let her move on and find someone else. This has got to be a joke with how cringe it is. I’d be relieved getting this message after being dumped tbh because I’d be so grossed out with how tacky and cringe it is (yes I’ve said cringe many times now but it really is)

You did the right thing of not forcing him to have sex, and you should make it clear to him so he doesn't feel obliged or guilted to have sex, that it is not his fault that he is asexual.

It's understandable that he is coming out with 'solutions' to make things work despite your conflicting sexuality. Unfortunately, you are incompatible with each other. It's no fault of either of you, as neither of you can control your sexuality.

You need to explain to him that sex to you is an intimate thing, both emotionally and physically, and you are not willing to have sex with someone else when you are romantically involved with him.

(If you are involved in fandom subculture, you can explain that this is like watching your OTP being intimate with someone else. It's uncomfortable, to say the least.)

There might be some ways to make this relationship work, but ultimately you might need to decide whether it is worth it to continue with this relationship with no sex.

This is very much a reason to get cold feet.

Your fiancé realized something about himself and feels the need to explore that. That’s fine in and of itself. But that also means that he’s not ready to “settle down” and commit to being in a monogamous relationship and marriage to you. That is also okay. But that is the reality that the two of you need to accept.

You know you’re not interested in a form of open relationship where he’d be able to explore his sexuality physically with men while also committed to you. That’s fine. The two of you need to have an honest discussion about what you both want and need for your lives and from each other.

If you come to the conclusion that he needs to explore this and he can’t be happy and healthy without doing that, and you can’t be happy and healthy in a relationship where he does, then that just means it’s not the right timing for you two. And that can be okay. Sometimes we meet great people but at the wrong time in our lives and that just is what it is.
