Loveless marriage! Advice please!

I'm a 27 yo woman and have been married for the past 2+ years. We are a perfect couple in everybody's eyes, except that I have been sensing that something is lacking in our relationship. Financially we are doing well and generally are OK with each other. We are yet to have children. The problem is we are able to connect to each other only as friends and the couple intimacy has been lacking right from the beginning. Though I sensed that something was missing, I realised this real thing only recently. Being together under thesame roof was never bothersome, until it came to the matter of sex. I personally feel sex should come with intimacy and not just a physical act. We stayed without intercourse until it was 2 years after our wedding, with little of physical act in the dark. Only when people started enquiring about having kids, we started on with intercourse and since I had no stimulation for it, everytime it would be a painful intercourse. It is psychologically very frustrating for me as I've never had a feel-good sex with this man. Never had an orgasm! At this age, I've started hating sex. I'm a self confident woman and have never craved for my husband's attention at any point in time. Whenever people say that my husband is very lucky to have me in his life, it really hits me hard as I know the bitter truth that he isn't intimate with me. We haven't been out on holidays much and if he's free on a weekend, he would prefer spending the time with his friends. I had never ever complained or felt sad as I'm comfortable not being with him. My point is that a craving for him is not in me, but the need to make it workout somehow since we have to survive as a couple, is hitting me so hard. Sometimes, I feel very much bitter to initiate everything myself as I know I'm a beautiful woman with a good career as well. I had made attempts to turn his attention towards me, so he will take off from there, but he has never ever made an attempt himself. He is a shy person and never even puts his hands around me when the lights are on( though we live in privacy). Should I really struggle to work out this marriage for material aspects? Or will it ever work out in my favor in the future?

Hey there, I think you should both seek professional help such as a counselor it sounds like there's a few things you need to get through together and the only way you can do that is by working together on it xx
