Definitely ok to feel creeped out by the dude. However, it sounds like you are asking your friends to accept your feelings and terminate a friendship with Frank based on your feelings about him. That is unreasonable. Keep your actions to what you can control for yourself, and not try to control what others do or should do as that will cause you many problems in life. If he creeps you out don’t participate with your friends when Frank is around. It is fair to say he creeps you out and you don’t want to be around him.
No I met his needs before (I did have sex with him in the past). He also wanted kids and I used my body for our children. That's not nothing.
Also it's just the sex that I'm not doing for him. I still do the cooking at home. I am a good looking woman and I'm intelligent and successful. It's not like I can't find another man either.
The article says the authors of the study believe this effect likely extends to all life-altering medical illness, but do you think it's similar with mental illness as well?
I struggled with mental health all my life, and for the first 4 years of our relationship my (soon-to-be-ex) husband was supportive. But when I was diagnosed with autism, which has no cure and will be present until the day I die, that is when he started to “fall out of love” with me.
Just curious if my situation could possibly be at least partially explained by this phenomenon.

If you smoked in the house and your car it's trapped in everything. The walls, furniture, seats of your car, etc.
