I've been single for a while but it doesn't feel like it

Probably because we still live together for now. It's complicated. I still don't want us to separate but there's nothing I can do about it anymore. She still gets mad at me for any little thing. I still struggle to fix the issues because my attempts make everything worse. Regardless if I'm right, wrong, or neutral.

We still sleep together & I'm still confused on the sexual aspect. She treats me like she doesn't wanna be with me but then she says stuff like "you don't wanna kiss me" or "you don't smack my ass anymore" & I'm just thinking "well I didn't know I was supposed to still 🤷" it's not like I just stopped because I don't like it anymore.

But it's tough because lately I'm thinking like... I kinda just feel used in a way. Like I'm not good enough to be with but I'm good enough to mess with if you're in the mood? It kinda hurts but I want to hold on still 😔 I know I should draw a line & say I can't continue the relationship like this if we're not even gonna be together but at the same time I'm afraid of doing that because I don't wanna lose it completely. & I know that all sounds stupid but she's the mother of my child & all I want is to be a family & see my kid every day. Nobody ever talks about this stuff from a dad's perspective though. We're supposed to just take the blame, take the BS, & chin tf up like everything's okay

Yeah I never want to over step and say the wrong thing but if that happened to me as a female in a hypothetical scenario, I'd feel like he was keeping me on the back burner. I'd also feel like he wants control over me as acting hot and cold all the time is a manipulation tactic meant to confuse your feelings.

But that's from my perspective, of course she could still like you but something is stopping her or something she could be afraid of. I can't assume her character.
