Some people can be happy without sex, or without having sex often.
I'm glad I'm not one of them! And glad that my wife isn't one of them, either. I'm pretty sure we'd split up if either of us lost interest in sex without a serious medical condition to back it up.

Interesting perspective - are you saying it is not the loss of having sex, per se that is the issue? Rather that they willfully no longer want to have sex?
I mean what is a "serious medical condition"? Does menopause count? How much of an effort will they have had to make to prove they CAN'T have sex versus just don't want to?
And what kind of sex are you talking about? Will other things suffice for PIV, e.g.? You seem to have very strong feelings so maybe you've thought through the details?
Treatment for prostrate cancer usually ends the ability to have sex. Some people with diabetes experience the same thing. If my spouse didn’t want to have sex with me that would be very hurtful.
No, I am not interested in men for sexual purposes either. The reason I am married is companionship and love. But not sex.
And did you take it upon yourself, before pursuing the path of marriage with the woman who would prospectively become your wife, to state outright that you do not have a sex drive per se (being, for all intents and purposes, asexual) but just want companionship and loving feelings but no "making love"? Perhaps even no affection or hardly any affection beyond the perfunctory either? Did she explicitly know this aspect of you before she went down the path of marriage with you? If not, then you deceived her. And/or she also had a responsibiilty to herself, before going down the path of marriage with you, to do her due homework on you (i.e., explicity discussing with you what she could expect from being married to you and learning, from how you respond to what she says, how YOU feel about her expectations for marriage . . . such as her stating outright to you that she has a well-developed need and appetite for affectional and sexual relations as a regular part of married life).
Any and all persons considering getting married to whomever should plainly and explicitly discuss with each other what they each expect from the other person to make it a workable and lasting marriage. In this way, we screen out persons who are not altogether suitable for us. Or if the other person, rather than being honest and forthcoming with us prior to going down the path of marriage with us, deceives us (whether outright lying to us or otherwise not mentioning certain things about themself and therefore hiding their true selves from the other person), then that can be cited as a basis for uncontested divorce (i.e., because the marriage was based on being misled or misinformed or lied to).
An ex-coworker of mine split up with and divorced his wife because she was cheating on him. After the divorce, he continued sleeping with her while she was with the guy she had cheated on him with, and whom now was being cheated on by him. I have no other words, so I'll just leave it at that. lol
Does a husband have a ethical and moral obligation in a marriage to have a sexual relationship? Just like his obligation of: being a good father, provider and communicator. (Remember, we can not fake interest like a woman can)
Absolutely, if that is what is important to BOTH of you. If it is important to her, and she knew how you felt about sex before you married,then that would be slightly different because she knew you had issues about it.
Perhaps, try to work on your issues regarding sex and just ask her if she is satisfied without it.
