Wolf, although I've left this forum, I wanted to offer you some parting thoughts--

This relationship is more salvageable than the vast majority of DB stories here. She's not seeing other men, starting fights, or declining your dates. She's enthusiastic.

Like you, she has issues. Saving this is not 100% on you.

This is where you toss your hard work away. "I did X, so she should give me Y!" Wolf, balances of labor in the household ("she cooks, I clean") are transactional, like roommates. Ensure there is balance so you're each doing your share and also respecting one another.
Love is not transactional. Whether your love is a feeling or a choice, express it through genuinely kind acts for your partner, the mother of your child at least weekly with no thought of reciprocation. In 6-9 months you've already had 20-40 opportunities for dinner dates, flowers, or taking up one of her chores once. Her love tank from all indications is low. It will take time to refill.
Was there anything to be grateful for or appreciate about brightening her day? Look for those things daily. A happy companion, yummy food, and a fun venue would all do it for me. Is I GOT HUGGED or I DIDN'T GET HUGGED--is that all you can see in that? Monthly rants aren't solving this. Prioritize your relationship like gym visits and expect results on that timeline.
If you're desperate for physical touch now SOLVE THAT directly. I remember at one phase of my life--a stage of pregnancy where my XW felt gross--I visited masseuses because $45 was worth it for an hour of physical touch and talk about our challenges. Also, your son loves you, so you have at least one person in your life who loves you and isn't going anywhere.
Wolf, I hope you and your GF find your happy place!
