You really are approaching this like she is 'cured'. If you change your thinking into thinking that she has been diagnosed and recovery takes 36 months, then you would screw down your expectations to zero, wouldn't you? That's what you need to do good buddy, have no expectations then you'd have no reason for feeling hurt.
On the sex talk, man you asked way too many questions. Way too much information and enough to screw with your brain for weeks, if not months and maybe years to come. Just don't go there because it's something that you can't deal too well with at the moment.
During the time that you have known your ex, has she demonstrated a history of 'emotionally shutting down'?

I go to leave and we give each other a big tight hug, I tell her I love her. She does not reply. First time she has not replied.
Hey, it's not only me but all the other good people have posted to you have suggested that you do the whole DB thing.
Either your are showing your blatant disregard for this advice or you have simply forgotten what DBing is all about because you broke the cardinal rule of saying ILY.
I suspect that you've forgotten DBing and in that case, blow the dust off your copy of Divorce Remedy and if you don't have it anymore, buy yourself a new one and get stuck into reading it and have a note pad handy so your can scribble down some key points that relate to you.
God Bless
