I thought she just didn't want to do sex stuff or cuddle or show affection..

Anyway I just thought it was important to let the world know that you can be volcel army and still be in a committed ten year relationship. In fact isn't that what true comradeship is built on?

Weapons grade cope aside, I think I'm one of those weird types of humans who needs affection and so on. Am I really going to have to start dating again? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Some people don't even realize they are ace until much later, not realizing our lack of interest in sexual stuff is really that abnormal for allos. I've never actually dated or had any sort of sexual experiences, and I still didn't realize I was ace until my late 20s. Others go through the motions assuming that their experience is just normal and everyone is just going through the motions because its expected, particularly for women due to cultural differences in how men and women's sexuality have been treated (at least in the US).
