The key to resolving any issue is through communication... Open your heart out, and let him hear your insecurities regarding your relationship. Maybe he's just aloof about all these issues you face. At the end of the day it's only for you to decide whether to stay or let go. You had doubts about the relationship, 2 years in, and now you're 5 years into the relationship. Don't try to stretch it out further. This is the most important conversation which would make or break your relation.

I agree! We have had an extremely in depth conversation along with several other conversations through regarding everything in this post and more. At times, it has temporarily helped and then at times it makes things worse. This is all on me because I’m the one in the relationship with all the doubt. I ask him if there is anything that I do that makes him question and he has not one thing to say. It is seemingly perfect apart from our sex life in his perspective.

I would love to have a third party present (like a therapist) to be there for these conversation because there is never any lasting resolve
