I am in my mid 30's and have to admit that I am quite concerned and depressed about my relationship with my wife.
I have no sexual attraction to my wife and I fear that it has been like this since we met, just disguising lonlieness.
Initially early in our relationship we had sex but it felt so mechanical and really just going through the motions. Almost as if it was done so it could be checked off the "to do" list.
We have been married for six years and sex is essentially non existent for the past two years.
This is the only relationship I have ever been in, so I am starting to feel really down about the future. It is hard for me to compare since there has never been another sexual partner. I feel like we could continue to live like this idefinitely until one of us throws in the towel and says this isn't working out sexually. We are great roomates, and friends but I hate to say I do not have any physical attraction. She doesn't seem interested in me either. I am her second person she has been with.
I am seeing a therapist about this to change things but feel stuck in many ways.
I feel that ending our marriage just because of lack of sex and physical attraction is the wrong thing.
We have a good life except for sex.
I don't want to leave and be more depressed alone and live with the guilt of leaving her.
I would appreciate any sincere advice.
