That's a tinderbox waiting for a spark -- either the dissatisfied partner leaves to have their needs met, or the inadequate feeling partner leaves for validation from someone else.
Everything else you wrote fits my situation. Including the "tinderbox" situation. The only twist is we made it past the tinderbox stage with the help of therapy. We now get along very well, and we don't let our libido differences affect anything else. It just hasn't solved the sexual problem, that's all.

That may involve looking at *why* you want what you want, and seeing if there is an alternate way to have those needs met, and the inadequate feeling partner needs to be willing to step up and give compromise a try.
In our case that may be just a case of each of us giving each other "privacy" to take care of our needs as we see fit. Kind of like a brother and sister might treat each other about sex.
