Newly sexless marriage

Hello ive only been married to my wife for over a year and a half and we have only had sex a couple of times. I want the intimacy and want to have sex but she is not interested. She now barely even kisses or touches me. Its clear i am not very attractive in her eyes but is this normal? Can my marriage survive without sex? I feel she does not even want me at all. What can I do? Am i wrong to want this?

Have you tried speaking to her about this?

First question to ask is why you married her and she married you.....

Has it changed since you got married or was the relationship the same beforehand?

@LuluBellaBlue - yes and thats when i started to realise she doesn't feel very attracted to me. Shes always had a lower libido then me but this has now reached a new low.

@AnneLovesGilbert - ive generally always initiated physical contact between us but i felt okay with that as i knew she would find it difficult to initiate but back then she would generally still be intimate. Its since we have been married where it feels like an active rejection all the time. We have been together for 10 years

I've been in a sexless marriage, and it was me with the issue, I just wasn't attracted to him. We are now getting divorced. It's an awful way to live. Especially when you still want sex and intimacy. As you want these things OP I'd suggest she tries counselling with you to try and rectify the situation or you split.
