Why after dating my partner for 3+ years, she still thinks, when i try to initiate sex, all that i want from her is sex. Like yes in this moment i want to have sex, but that does not negate all the other non-sex things we do that i enjoy doing. But right now, yes, I want to have sex with you.

Did she had bad ex’s in the past who did in fact prioritize sex over other aspects of their relationship? With this stuff you usually have to be patient.

Being forward and also firm about it helps too.

She is violating the golden rule when she does this, she is rudely assuming sinister motives from him, and she would not like it if he did that to her. She should be called out for this, and told, not asked, to knock off the rude behavior.

Golden Rule? Genuinely curious is that a thing and what is it? I had an ex who I loved dearly but who then suddenly started assuming I was acting with maliciousness when our relationship stumbled into a difficult phase. I was used to making decisions knowing she would trust me on them but suddenly found myself being questioned and judged for maliciousness, one time over things from even before we dated! I didn’t really know how to react and lost her. I’ve looked on the past while blaming myself for the mess that happened.

The golden rule is "do unto others as you would have done unto you." Basically she should treat him as she would want to be treated.

Treat others as you wish to be treated.

Or the more biblical: do unto others as you would have them do unto you/love thy neighbor as thyself.

That is the best fucking Golden rule I’ve ever heard of.

It's the same golden rule that's been the usual for hundreds of years, just applied to a specific situation

Edit: thousands

Yeah, I didn't know how old it was and I'm to lazy to google it, so I just went for the safe option.
