Ironically this is one of those things that’s easier to deal with in a poly context - your partner isn’t your one and only so if they’re ace and you’re not, you’re allowed to get those needs met elsewhere and still have a loving romantic relationship with them.

Unless you’re both asexual, or are open to the sexual one fucking around, you probably should get a divorce though

I think there is another side to that though that the non-asexual partner is probably often not very happy.

Are you disregarding your partner’s needs here?

Yeah.
I think “love your partner, but don’t wanna fuck 'em” implies you’ve already failed in this regard.
Why isn’t the partner doing the same in that situation?
