You chose to marry her so she can't be all bad. Don't forget her good qualities and hold onto them while you focus on improving the other aspects of the relationship. Speak your truth - how you desire for more expressiveness when it comes to love; not being so mechanical etc. See it as both of you being able to learn and evolve together. Going for facilitated couple counseling or sexuality counseling can help. FB - farming out the problem can create MORE problems. Not only that, you'd be a cheater and liar and that might be a life worth living out.
