I've been in a sexless marriage for 35 years. What can I do? | Leading questions
Briefly

In a marriage spanning 38 years, intimacy has been absent since the first three years due to the wife's lack of interest in sex. The husband, who values both his wife and daughters, has expressed feelings of destruction stemming from this loss. Efforts to suggest counseling have been unsuccessful. The emotional impact extends beyond physical intimacy to feelings of worthlessness. There are limited options moving forward regarding sex, and the importance of understanding the wife’s perspective and experiences surrounding sex is emphasized.
It's not just about missing out on sex. It's about feeling as though your wellbeing doesn't matter very much. Being told you can't have something valuable leads to feelings of guilt or shame.
Surprisingly low on the list is the hypothesis that so far, sex hasn't felt good. A variety of bummers conspire to make a great deal of heterosexual sex unenjoyable.
