Sexless marriage

Going to see marriage guidance today. Worried that we already know the outcome before we go through this process. But I'm a man and I'd like you to know that it's not always the women that are unhappy. There are very caring men out there like me who feel completely rejected. Not just physically but also emotionally. I'm married to a wife who by her own admission sticks her head in the sand but remains optimistic that we can be how we were. But there's zero effort on her part. She's more concerned about being a grandmother, going through the menopause and her sex life being unimportant to her. Imagine how you would feel if you were to have an honest conversation about the lack of intimacy (not just sex) and she responds that "I've got a difficult choice to make". To put this onto me and not share the issue collaboratively is nothing but rejection. It will be interesting to see what happens in the session but I'll keep an open mind but not holding out much hope

Hope it went better than u expected.
My husband says sex with me now is just awkward :-/ so we don't bother. I'm only in my early 40's and otherwise very happy but jeeeez I miss that part.

What did she mean by that comment? What is the choice between? You sound in a very hard place and you sound very angry. I hope the session was helpful.
