Sexless relationship?

I have been with my partner for 9.5 years. We have two kids together (a baby and 3 year old). Sometimes I feel we're just best friends, he never wants sex. He got upset tonight when I asked him about sex and he said 'you're always asking me I'm fed up ' and left the room. I never go on at him but I do bring It up sometimes. I'm 29 he's 35. I asked him before if he was still attracted to me which he said he was. I don't know what is wrong. He hurt my feelings tonight. I guess it just sucks. Anyone else been in a similar situation? Any advice?

In a similar situation. Been married for 20 years - have a teen DD with MH issues which takes a lot of headspace. Not only no intimacy but haven't even slept in the same bed for a year. Very difficult - think constantly about leaving.
