Been together almost 15 year and have 3 children together. My wife denied me sex for most of our marriage. It was at most a few times a year and a quicky at best. This destroyed my self esteem and mental well being have been suffering from major depression for several years now. I finallaly had enough and asked my wife for a divorce about a year ago, she denied and said she didnt want to and said that she would try to be more intimate.

Fast forward a year, she does try to be more intimate, but it feels so unnatural and forced. My brain no longer associates her with any kind of intimacy and i genuinely don’t want to be intimate with her anymore.

I’ve never looked elsewhere for intimacy and dont want to.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Does it get any better? I don’t know what to do anymore.
