Marital trouble seeking advice

...See more There's a lot to unpack hear, but long story short, my question is, is it possible for a sexless marriage to exist? One where, one partner is very open and honest about their needs (which are very reasonable by most standards) and the other wants absolutely nothing to do with anything sexual (due to a mental/sexual related trauma)... by nothing, I mean not even a kiss on the lips. There was no sign of this trauma during our dating, and maybe only a handful of issues during engagement. Because of our beliefs, we didn't want to separate... but it's been 8 years of marriage with a 1 and 3 year old and I feel I've had enough. We're in our 30's and trying counseling for the second time... but I'm not sure it's even worth it. We do care for each other and of course love the kids, but zero intimacy is becoming unbearable... ) ;
