I've been with my partner for 8 months.
Currently due to COVID he's not working and I'm working pretty much full time. He doesn't message during the day, doesn't ask when I have a day off so we can spend it together, we haven't had sex all year, he doesn't touch me when he does come over. I don't feel like I'm important to him.
My son loves him but I don't want to be unhappy for the rest of my life to keep one person happy.
I've already told him that I want more effort, it lasted a week then it went back to messages every now and then. I'm so sick of it.
How many chances should I give someone to prove to me that I'm important.

It’s done, enough is enough. You should be in the honeymoon phase and you haven’t had sex for 5 months!
Time to let this one go. The sooner the better for your sons sake.
If you don’t live together I certainly wouldn’t call him a partner, it’s sounds like he is stuck in boyfriend zone if that.
In 8 months if there is no effort. It’s a bye Felicia. This should be the honeymoon period!
I had to read your first line again as I thought this was something people put up with in long term relationships, not 3 months in! If I was dating someone and 3 months later started acting like this I would assume it's done and move on. That's what you need to do.
Time to call it quits. If you haven’t had sex in over 5 months in the 8 months you have been together then there is something wrong. Call him and let him know that is over.
Don’t waste another second on this guy!
It’s enough now and go back to being happy without him. Don’t try any longer it’ll just end up the same.
Pass. Move on. Life's too short if you're not going to pass within the first year you're going to settle and miss the right one.
Seriously you've been with the guy for 8 months and haven't had sex all year, I'd be out of there!
So ladies, I messaged him saying we need to talk about us, thinking he'd call so we could talk, well nope he replied to text messages.
We split up which I'm actually happy about. He didn't try to fight for us at all, so he really wasn't mature enough for an adult relationship.
He probably had someone else, this is why he was acting that way. Time for you to be happy with someone you deserve!
Sounds like one of those gutless wonders who breaks up with you in there head but to wimpy to tell you they want to break up.
Get rid of him.. it’s not actually a relationship! Very odd. Are you sure he isn’t seeing someone else?
