AIBU to have no sex drive? Trigger warning SA

Possible trigger warning SA

I have been with DH for 20 years. my interest in intimacy has always been less than his but now at 38 I have no sex drive at all. What complicates this is that I was sexually abused as a child for a long time and have since had a negative opinion of sex. It has gone to zero and I know that this is hurting DH.

Any advice?
