Resentment
Sex is not a physical need
Tired from work/kids/keeping up the house
Issues with self-image
Not feeling close & connected to my spouse

I am not in that situation myself, but have been and it basically boiled down to not feeling loved and appreciated so the desire dwindles over time.

I don't think there's a single answer as I've read many posts where the husband appears to be doing all of the right things, but still no sex, so I guess the list may vary from one woman to the next that is in this position. I guess in those cases I would want to get my hormone levels checked to be sure there isn't a medical reason.
