“Expressing concerns about lack of intimacy in a 7 year relationship”

I've been trying to initiate sex for years, but she's shown less and less interest, making me feel unwanted and unloved

What I wish I knew
"Finding a way to communicate my feelings without blaming or hurting her"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and open about your feelings, but also listen to her perspective and work together to find a solution"
