Talk and risk marriage or stay silent?

I think I just need to say this out loud and vent but … I'm not happy in my marriage. I love my partner and want to have a complete relationship but sex (or anything physical) seems to be off the table. My partner never comes near me other than a quick kiss (peck not passionate) before bed. Whenever I try to start things I get pushed away - always some excuse - so I have stopped trying as it always left me thinking that there is something wrong with me. I feel that my partner just doesn't find me attractive anymore and is happy being more like friends than lovers. I don't feel that there is any affection towards me at all and I now just feel numb.

If I say something I'm worried that my thoughts will be confirmed and that our marriage won't recover or I can stay quiet and keep things as they are. I don't know if I should just accept that my marriage has changed.
