Lonely in a marriage

This is my 1st time posting anything & i am so nervous..I have been married for 16 years, today is our Wedding Anniversary. We have 3 amazing children. My husband is kind & generous, will make me endless cups of tea, always has our fridge full of food, cars serviced, doesn't drink or go out much and is a fantastic father. God even typing this i already feel guilty. But the thing is he does not want to have sex with me. We have sex once or twice a year & its killing me. He is constantly distracted, on his phone, netflix or working. Its the only thing we have ever argued about through our entire marriage. Not sure what to do. My feeling is (having struggled & argued & cried so often) that its not going to change. I don't want to leave. And i don't want to kick him out. Tbh it'd be very hard to raise this family without him. But what i am struggling with is how to people cope with living in a sexless marriage ?

Just wondering how everyone on this thread is doing ? I haven't checked in here in a while. Relationship-wise things are the same, but i have been eating more healthily and have lost 3kg & am in good form & enjoying my life. I revealed to my sisters what has been happening which was a relief. I would have good support if we decide to separate. I flirted with the idea but developed quite severe anxiety. I think some personal counselling will help strengthen me.
