[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been more than a few years and we both work, now have two middle schoolers and did a big move to the area two years back.

I get frisky and initiate but she does not reciprocate. Once she got sad and said it’s because she is too hurt, something about how I’m not helping run the family and then I get angry when it’s brought up. I work very hard and am playing the long game at work. We also take great family vacations.

But is no sex a grounds for divorce? Sounds like she also is unhappy but about other stuff. [/quote]

Have you thought about discussing with her how you can realistically share the household tasks and being involved with the family in a way that feels fair to each of you? I think just initiating the conversation with her would do wonders if that is the reason she fells turned off. Come up with a plan, who cleans what, who makes dinner which day, etc.
My partner isn’t one took take many initiatives in they department and discussing clear expectations really helps us feel like we have a team approach. I praise him for all the ways he contributes and our emotional intimacy really benefits from it. And that leads to frequent good sex. 
We know who is in charge of what, make a menu on Sunday (he does grocery shopping), we know which days we’re in charge of dinner. We don’t lead a spontaneous domestic life but we both feel fulfilled that way. [/quote]
