<human>: I feel like a roommate with my wife. There is no affection from her physically or emotionally.  We have been together for 9 years total, 7 years married. I actually have documented over the past week how often she touches me. I usually push for these things, but this past week I decided to just sit and see what she does. Prior to this experiment I usually ALWAYS initiate contact (again, not just sex here. hugs, kisses, hands, shoulders, anything). So, three out of the past 7 days we didn't touch each other at all and on one of the remaining days the only contact was of her running in to me and me asking her to scratch my back. Seriously.

 Now, we have two kids (5f, 2m) that I love with all my heart and truly couldn't live without. Literally. I couldn't see myself without my kids. We have had "the talk" about a hundred times. It always goes with me saying she just isn't giving me what I need emotionally and physically and she apologizes and for a few days it is better. But then it drops back down. What can I do? We have tried marriage counseling but we quit because she felt that "the counselor and I were ganging up on her".

 I just feel like, I am on the last thread of caring for her and I don't want to lose it. Because I think that once that turns the corner and I give up I think there is no going back. Like I said I have approached her many many times about this. Nothing changes (long term)

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: My wife and I have no connections. Physically or emotionally and I feel like the last little bit of trying/caring I have left is dying out. Looking for any advice.
