My boyfriend and I live together. We've been together 6 years. He is annoying, and has been for most of the relationship. He's very kind, it's just that I don't feel we connect. And he complains I won't be sexual enough and cuddle enough with him. But he is not level with me intellectually.

I have felt before for even years before I met him that I want to give up sex and explore spiritual things. But I have found that I get disconnected when I'm on my own, he is there and is someone to be with. I go to a therapist and have told her of my aspirations... Also I'm excited/scared to ever do things on my own like change a light bulb. He is very handy with fixing things.

Should I try to talk to him? Flirt with him? Or think about him leaving in a couple years... Or maybe I should accept the situation and try to move forward..
