Feel numb in marriage

Has anyone felt like this? With DH for 10 years following 9 yrs single parenting. He moved very quickly when we met and within 6 months pregnant with 1st child. Following this pregnancy started to lose interest in sex. Initially thought it was my libido. Carried on though, then 3 yrs later pregnant with next one. Remember consciously feeling back then, trying to conceive him made it bearable. (Lack of desire for him no reflection of his amazing bedroom abilities, but more from lack of connection). Sex waned since then, even once a month was too much for me. The last time we did it was February 2018 - I remember the feeling of trying not to wretch. It made me feel so sick. Since then I cannot, I realised I was damaging myself.... Having counselling now, but honestly not feeling too hopeful. I don't fancy him. When he hugs me I don't feel comforted and he's always trying to kiss me which also feels unpleasant. Usual story, wonderful person, feels like a brother to me but currently cannot imagine being intimate with him.

Do him a favour and let him go and meet someone who cares about him in a romantic and sexual way.

Yes let him go. Don't have counselling to force yourself to be with a man you don't fancy Confused

This relationship is moribund OP. It needs to end (as amicably as possible of course).
