We just don't get on anymore

Name changed as oh knows my normal username.
We've been together 8 years and had our dd over a year ago.
We have always got on really quite well. Never any arguments only a couple in the whole time we'd been together until recently. It's just so hard i want to make this work but we are more like work colleagues now we do 'our' jobs work, housework, shopping etc.
We haven't had sex in months- I'm too tired but that doesn't stop me feeling guilty.
I'm fed up - sat here crying after another petty argument

If you're in a rut, taking each other for granted and living alongside each other like flat-mates... and it's easily done.... then you have to set aside some time to properly communicate and reconnect. 'Never any arguments' is not necessarily a problem but if it means you've never even disagreed in all this time that can mean that the relationship has never been stress-tested and you don't have a good way of resolving difficulties. It can also mean that the relationship is unequal i.e. one partner making all the decisions and the other just going along with it for a quiet life. What was the petty argument about? That might provide some context.
