Do you regret initiating a divorce?

I'm really interested in people's opinions please. I'm in a marriage in which I don't feel in love with my husband. We rarely have sex, we barely ever see each other, we don't have much physical contact. We have no real emotional intimacy. Over the course of our marriage I've had 3 crushes, the most recent one being by far the most impactful on me. Nothing has happened between me and this OM. Nothing will happen.

I'm in relationship counselling with DH but it's not getting us anywhere.

I'm tempted to go for a divorce but I'm scared. Did you regret divorcing your perfectly adequate DH in exchange for the chance of something better? Did you find it?

FYI we have two young sons.

Thanks

OP you have to ask yourself if you want to go through the rest of your life in this way? Is this just a blip in your road of marriage, or is it the beginning of the end? Is this the marriage that you want to portray as the ideal for your sons?

To answer OP's questions:

I do not regret initiating a Divorce, but do regret the decision to marry.

We rarely have sex, we barely ever see each other, we don't have much physical contact. We have no real emotional intimacy

and

Did you regret divorcing your perfectly adequate DH

Seem to be contradictory. How does the first statement constitute adequate as referenced in the question that follows?
