I’m only 33 and have been in a 10 year relationship and for the past 5 years we haven’t had sex, touched or even anything more than a peck.
we have a ds who is 5….sex wasn’t great before that tbh!
the relationship side we never argue we are literally best friends good jobs, financially we are in a good place. Do I ruin all that just for sex?
i don’t know what to do? I’m at the place where I want sex but not with him because I resent him
I’m lonely and scared to take that step to leave and lose my best friend and break the family

Be brave and take steps to make the break before you become ever more resentful of him.

I presume he has never given you any explanation re lack of sex.
He can still choose to compare this child when you and he are apart. Better to be apart and happier than to be together in your own miseries as it is now.
