Hi all. I am new here. Not sure what I'm looking for or what I need. My situation is I have been in a relationship for 20 years married 18 we met when I was right out of high school and married by the time I was 22. We met online so no real dating just moved in together. He moved crossed country. In the beginning I was happy got the butterflies at anticipation of him coming home. Sex was all the time daily if not more. No PDA at all but I was ok. Fast forward to say 5-6 years into marriage it just started going down...the past year and a half the worst. We have had sex 3 times total! We don't talk unless we have to and I'm angry. I am finding myself happy when he's not around. We have two kids 14 and almost 10 so I don't want them to think this is how a relationship works. They have never seen us hold hands or kiss or say I love you. I just feel like I need more. I need to feel loved or cared about. My self esteem and depression is getting worse and I have asked for a divorce so many times I can't count. He responds no that everything is fine and it's not. I am 40 and have never felt loved, cared about or felt good about myself. What do I do? Do I stay and work on myself? Do I tell him to leave? The house is mine. Like I just don't know...I'm a creature of comfort and hate change but I'm wilting to the point of do I go have a affair to feel human??

Not sure where to turn and I ended up here. I'm almost 48 years old, with my husband about 6 years, married less than 2 years. I have a 16 year old daughter that he adopted a year ago. We live like roommates, no intimacy, sleep in separate rooms, no "team work" at all. He says he loves me and would do anything for me, but those are just words....his actions say the otherwise. I don't love him...
