Dear Ms. Shrink: I Have No Libido

My husband and I have two kids, 7 and 4. We both work full time at demanding jobs. We never, ever have sex. I feel guilty about this even though I have no libido and it sounds like the last thing on earth I want to do. I can tell that my husband is hurt that we don’t have sex, but he has completely stopped initiating.

Help!
