Married but lonely

my husband and I have been together for 17 years. In the beginning he was affectionate but that changed years ago. I feel like we drifted apart when I found out I was pregnant. Over the years it looked like this: whenever l wanted affection I would have to come and ask for it: cuddle me, kiss me etc. It messes with my head. I have anxiety and I feel like he doesn't love me, doesn't find me attractive etc etc. Every once in a while I start an argument about that and he is somewhat better for a while but then he goes back to normal. He does show affection torwards our son and even our cat but I have to ask for it. I feel pathetic. I feel worthless. I'm crying my eyes out as I am writing this. I am so tired and frustrated. I sometimes dream of meeting someone new. Otherwise he is a good husband and I don't want a divorce but at the same time I am tired
Sorry if this is messy but I am a mess RN.

Instead of just asking for it, have you tried to discuss it with him, trying to listen and understand the real reasons behind that? What was root cause of it? The issue from his perspective?
