Has anyone left a sexless marriage (7 years of no intimacy) and not regretted it if the rest of the relationship was ok?
Tried over the years to get things back on track but think we are both past even wanting to try, almost nervous and no interest in trying.
I almost feel selfish for wanting passion and love again.

You are not selfish. Intimacy can be so important for all areas of wellbeing. Seven years is a long time. My marriage was sexless and I left , but the rest of the relationship was far from ok. That was the reason it was sexless...
If everything else is fine would you both consider counselling and take it from there? You may well have already thought of this and I don't intend to sound patronising.
It's a very tough decision to leave a marriage. Someone I'm close to is in a similar position, six years with no intimacy and neither of them are physically attracted to each other, but everything else is fine. My friend went down the affair route though, which is never a good thing.
