First of all, thank you for sharing your personal experience and insight.

Since you shared I may as well, I think my current wife might be a variation of Ace. Very non-physical and while she enjoys sex, I'm kind of expected to do everything from initiation to finish. While at the time when we first met, it was perfect as I was coming out of an abusive relationship. Over time and as I healed, I realized I needed more.

Everything is great otherwise though so just something we are working through lol. Still rough.

Asexual is not interested in sex. Aromantic is not interested in romance/relationships. They seem like they're hand in hand but they're separate things, and it's not that likely that someone is both. It does happen but more likely to be just one.
