my boyfriend went away on a hunting trip with his dad for a week, when he came back he seemed uninterested in sex so i asked him. he said he ‘wants to be closer to god and thinks sex is getting in the way of that’

me and my boyfriend have never had vanilla sex and it’s been a very big part of our relationship, it’s when i feel closest to him. him telling me this is ripping my world apart, i can’t stop crying because i don’t know if i can have a relationship without sex. it jsut makes me feel so gross and rejected, has everything we shared together meant nothing to him. i just don’t know what to do.
