Considering divorce after 9 years of marriage

I've been profoundly lonely in my marriage for years, lacking intimacy and feeling desired.

What I wish I knew
"My husband's lack of romance and affection was a deal-breaker from the start."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate your needs and boundaries clearly, and don't settle for a loveless relationship."
