When long-term couples lose physical intimacy

My husband and I have been married fifteen years and our sex life has basically disappeared over the past two years — not because we don't love each other but because we're both too tired and stressed and neither of us knows how to bring it up without making it feel like pressure or criticism. We just keep not talking about the fact that we're not connecting physically anymore.

What we've seen
