At what point do I walk away from a relationship when lack of intimacy starts to negatively impact me?

As each relationship is as unique as not only the partner, but who we are when we're with them - and accounting for growth, maturity, and lesson's learned from previous relationships, surely there isn't a one-size-fits-all template we should be following. But you weren't asking generally, rather myself specifically. And while I am not governed by moods, they do occasionally afflict me, so I suppose I would have to account for how severe, and the duration of either frustration or abject apathy as to when I actually acted upon the impulse, provided I am even aware of it. In short, I view it as a risk/reward system, as I would any relationship; is the (possibly temporary) downtown endemic, portending a potentially unrecoverable or untenable condition, or simply a bump which can be overcome? If the former, I would - at some point - become aware of it and walk away, but not before running every scenario in hopes it could be salvaged if the eventual reward far outpaces the temporary risk.
